I’m a busy mom with as is the case with most busy moms, a LOT going on. My issues aren’t only with the life, but with the brain cancer and seizures I battle daily. I say that to let you know, I don’t write reviews. Ever. Good or bad, unless I’m really, really ticked off, but usually, there’s something far worse to worry about than an app. However, in this case, I can’t not praise Elephant Learning because it is helping my daughter who has been struggling through private Christian school with an inadequate teacher for the last two years. She’s lost her confidence and with a child who has a lot on their plate, as well as a diagnosis of ADD, and a new diagnosis of scoliosis requiring her to wear a back brace for 16hrs daily, she has pretty much lost hope in learning math. However, since beginning Elephant about a month ago, she’s gained a month’s progress in her development. We were even granted a scholarship to allow us to better afford the already affordable costs. I’d found this platform while searching for low-to no cost forms for home school math. I found that there’s a lot of mamas out there who also recommend using Elephant, so I’m not sure why all the negative reviews. Those are baffling to me. We took advantage of our first of two counseling sessions of the month last week and I was blown away! Not only by Ms. Saunders herself and her obvious desire to help her students with a compassionate care, but her knowledge, experience, and patience. She couldn’t have said anything more that I could have possibly have even hoped to have heard in the Zoom meeting. She went over strategies, reassured my child and myself, showed us more ways we could utilize the platform- I can’t even tell you what all her time with us meant for my daughter and I.
My daughter is 10.5yo, and she’s a gamer kid by nature. She’s not complaining whatsoever about the games or interface, which if it was boring to her, she would. And I’d have to fight to get her to play it. Usually, she plays her Elephant without my prompting.
All in all, this was a great investment and one I plan on keeping, even after she begins a more formal home study program in the next year. I’d recommend this to anyone who has a child, whether it’s a child struggling with math or not, this is a great opportunity for learning.
Thank you, Elephant! We’re so grateful!!
