So far I am extremely satisfied with this site. I have my two sons (2nd grade and 4th grade)
It has been only recent that we started on this site on recommendation of one of our friends. I am already seeing some improvement in math skills of my elder son. I am really encouraged by how my kids are enthusiastic about doing their worksheets. To me there is added advantage as I don't have to print every worksheet which I used to before joining this program from other free websites.
Last year I saw my son struggling with his language arts and to some extent math skills in his school. I tried to help him by working with him on daily basis and printing worksheets from various websites. What i really lacked was consistent and methodical progression in questions for these worksheets. I have found that in worksheets at time4learning. I plan to use this program to help him be successful his year.
Overall it has been great investment so far for me.

My son,now 13, is bi-polar. He couldn't handle reg. school, kid's picking on him sent him into rages. It was decided to send him to a special school for kids with behaviour problems. He went there for 2 yrs. and still had problems with kid's picking on him. The school was for children with behaviour problems (rough kids) not emotional disabilities, which is what bi-polar is. The staff was more concerned with his behaviour than his education. All his report cards, every subject was graded with an S (satisfactory). I started to realize that they weren't really teaching him anything! I gave him a short math test at home and found he was really behind.
I decided to homeschool, but with a 2 yr. old I knew I wouldn't be able to do it myself. I found Time 4 Learning. I read some reviews and looked over some of the samples. Only $20 a month!! Other programs I looked at charged around $1000 and wanted a huge chunk up front.
My boy loves Time 4 Learning!! He likes to make fun of his cartoon teachers. But he is getting A's in Language Arts, and is really proud of himself!! He is still struggling with 7th grade Math, but Time 4 Learning makes it possible to back him up and we are working on 6th grade math, now. He's getting a C in social studies. I like working with him on Soc. Studies. I've learned a few things I had forgotton!!
His self-esteem is up, and is much happier learning at home.
I read some of the other reviews, some folks think the price is too high. I couldn't find a cheaper one!!!

I agree with the previous poster : if it was $10 , I would subscribe too.
$20 / month...it's not worth it. Save the money and buy a good book or two .
The math is engaging and the science interesting , but nothing special that I didn't already find free on the internet. I like the report cards and the tests though...but still not worth the money.
It is ok as a supplement .
If you can afford it.

My daughter and I just finished our trial period and overall my daughter enjoyed the time 4 learning website. I also thought, in general, it was well done. I am not sure we will use it $20.00 worth, but i did subscribe. The language arts is especially engaging. My daughter found the history site rather boring. It needs to be more interactive. It's easier to read a book than read the history information on the site. The math is a great way to review. I think this could be a valuble site for those who are unschooling. The student could be completely in control of how much and what they learn. My daughter was highly motivated to earn "play" time. So in the next month or so we will see how much we use it. It cannot take the place of one on one teaching time that we currently enjoy. If it was $10.00 a month there would be no doubt that we continue our subscription.
