“Tablet class has taught me to understand new ways to solve math. It has also helped me to enjoy doing math, most days! I am very excited to continue in Algebra and Geometry as well.”
-8th Grade Student
-Robby
“As a homeschooling Mom of seven children, spanning 25 years, we have used multiple math curriculums. Tabletclass math is hands down, no comparison, the best we have used! I honestly am so thankful for it every day, What a relief to find a program that is thorough, no gaps, detailed steps for all kinds of learners, and it is enjoyable to learn with Mr. Zimmerman! I know because for the first time in my life, I have enjoyed math as I have worked alongside our boys. And, they are able to watch the videos as many times as they want and when they complete a course, Mr. Zimmerman has a final exam complete with study tips, etc so that we know they are proficient. Thank you, thank you, thank you for Tabletclass math!”

“I just wanted to share our praises for your website. We are the "College By Twelve" family and TabletClass.com fits in with our accelerated/child-led method of getting our kids into college by the age of twelve. My 10 year old has finished Algebra 1 and is waiting for the Algebra 2 course to start. On-line learning is the best way to teach kids who are self-motivated. We have had GREAT results in helping our 9 kids excel in Mathematics and TabletClass is exactly what we needed to make my workload as a mom easier. Blessings!”
