Kaplan Online Tutoring – and a special discount offer for Mom Central readers!

Although not yet at the point with my two small children to have regular homework assignments or complex lessons, I can still value the importance of helping your kids stay on top of their studies. When I look back at my experience in school, I distinctly remember the dread I felt when having to do my science and math homework.

These subjects did not come naturally to me, and I probably could have benefited from a tutor, as I would spend hours trying to understand the difference between atoms and electrons in chemistry, or derivatives and integrals in calculus. Back then, I felt tutoring was only for kids really behind in class or flunking a subject – whereas I was getting good grades. It just took me extra long study sessions to get those grades!

Enter the present day and all the fantastic academic tools available to help kids catch up, stay on top, or even excel at their studies. And, with the ease of online tutoring, your students can benefit from customized lessons in the comforts of your own home.

One of the (many!) reasons I love my job at Mom Central Consulting is because I get to interact with a wide range of mom and kid-focused products and services. My most recent campaign is for Kaplan Tutoring, in which we recruited 30 influential mom bloggers to participate in a “Test Drive Program” to review their Online Tutoring Program. Moms were asked to test out the online program with their child(ren) over the course of two months and chronicle their experiences through blog posts.

We are just winding down the Kaplan Test Drive Program and gathering first-hand feedback from our participants to see how they and their kid(s) felt about the product. Here are a few posts from participants, so you can see their thoughts for yourselves!

Kaplan Online Tutoring Program overview

Kaplan Tutoring focuses on helping kids in kindergarten through 8th grade make academic progress and build self-confidence to do their best and develop a love of learning. They designed their online learning program to make learning convenient, effective, fun and intuitive for kids, and easy to track progress for parents. Here’s exactly how it works:

1. Online Assessments: We start with an online assessment to pinpoint your child’s unique math and reading levels. As soon as your child answers the last assessment question, you get access to detailed results showing where your child falls in grade-level curriculum and achievement expectations.

2. Adaptive Lessons: Next, we use these assessment results to serve up just the right level of math and reading lessons for your child. Lessons adapt as your child progresses to keep material fresh, interesting and challenging.

3. Motivating Learning: Fun characters and interesting material keep your child engaged in lessons. Your child also earns points for time spent learning to redeem for exciting rewards in the online Reward Zone that students love.

4. Convenience & Flexibility: We designed online learning to be easy to fit into your busy family schedule. Your child can log in to learn anytime, anywhere. And, our program remembers exactly where each lesson ends, so your child can fit as little as 20 minutes of online learning into your daily routine.

5. Measurable Progress: On top of it all, you get a parent account with real-time Progress Reports available to you anytime to see what your child has accomplished and what’s most challenging.
