“ I am a homeschool mother of two and think that the time my children spend on smarttutor.com really helps to reinforce what I am doing with the curriculum I purchased for them. The extra added practice on fractions or place value in a fun non-threatening medium is awesome! I will be telling my homeschool friends of this great service.”
Testimonials
“It offers differentiated instruction and my children feel successful working with the program. It's like having an individual tutor!”
