Fantastic, patient, good hearted teachers with easy to…read moreunderstand teaching methods and even an outstanding office staff. ;) Their all in it together to help you win it! It's been almost 20 years since I left HS and math and I have never been friend. There is so much I couldn't remember. I was starting from scratch. But this semester, WOW! Math seemed fun now and passing a test, attainable. After all those years of feeling embarrassed and continually failing math, Ology really gives students confidence. I got a B in the class. Me!? (My friend took her math class from the college, had to find her own tutors, spend time in the math lab... wait "in line" to see a tutor and only receiving help from the tutors once or twice a visit. She barely passed with her extra credit assignments) At Ology, you get way better results, tutors with uniform but unique teaching styles and are readily available for homework help. Ology has additional workshops for test prep too. It's well worth the money and time. There are tutors there almost 24-7. Use them! You've payed for them. Time in the tutoring lab means a great test grade and an awesome final grade. Trust me. Students of all ages attend Ology. There is no shaming here. They basically have a no fail, fool proof way to get you past math and on your way to graduation. And if you don't pass, they got your back. But you will.

Ology isn't cheap and they will be the first to tell you it won't be easy. That said, here is what…read morethey will do for you. First, they will show you how how to enroll in the BYU Math 110 course (equivalent to UVU Math 1050) through the BYU Independent Study Program. Unlike UVU, No placement test is required to take this course. The course consists of 34 homework assignments, one pre-test, three mid-terms, and one final. The pretest and homework assignments are completed online. The mid-terms and final can be taken at the BYU Independent Study Office, the BYU Testing Center, or at an approved proctored testing facility. Here is the part I really liked. The pre-test and the three midterms can be retaken twice after the initial attempt. The final can be retaken once after the initial attempt. The fee to retake tests at BYU is $15. Also, there is no limit on the number of attempts to complete the homework assignments. Oh, they will show you how to sign up for the homework site too. By the way, I paid about $575 to BYU for this course, which includes the separate fee of $99 to access the homework website. Then, I paid Ology $1,000 for their services, which includes a structured class that covers the material, an Ology Text Book with chapters matching the homework assignments, access to their math lab w/computers and lab tutors, and free bottled water!!! Ology has a payment plan if paying $1000 up front isn't possible for you. I believe if you utilize the payment plan option it comes out to $1,100. Ology also offers a "pass or don't pay guarantee." This "guarantee" is a contract between you and Ology that basically states that if you put in the work they will pay for you to re-take the class and that includes both the BYU and Ology fees. You, the student, have to show up to class, don't be more than 15 minutes late, complete the homework assignments on schedule (Ology's schedule, not BYU's) - since BYU doesn't really have one) and miss no more than five days of class throughout the term. The first two missed class periods can be made up in the math lab, the next three you would have to make up through their private tutoring service which is $30/hour. UVU accepts BYU Math 110 as transfer credit meeting the UVU Math 1050 Course. To do this you must have a minimum combined total score of 150 points or higher on the three midterms and 50 points or higher on the Final. Each mid-term and the final are worth 100 points each. I believe your online pre-test score must be 50 points or higher. You also must get 100% on the homework assignments, which sounds hard but it's not, given the resources you will have available to you, such as the math lab tutors and your teacher. Also, wolframalpha.com can be very helpful. Another big help that Ology offers is they have and willingly distribute midterms and finals given to BYU Math 110 students from past semesters. Even though the questions aren't the same the concepts are and they were in the same order as the mid-terms and final I took. My teacher at Ology was AMAZING!!! Not only did she know math she also knew how to teach it, which is significant. She would give use the option to chose being taught a detailed lesson on a particular concept or just what we would need to know to pass, which I really liked. Unfortunately, there are teachers/tutors at Ology who have no business teaching but despite not being good teachers they do know math. I would ask questions very specific in nature but the answer would be far from what I was looking for. There was a point that I thought I wouldn't be able to pass math but I did. In all, I paid about $2,000 including private tutoring, but it was money well-spent in my opinion. Now, math is behind me and graduation is closer.

It kills confidence in math students and is difficult to teach. The high school version, Open Up…read moreResources, is not compatible with high school students' attendance schedules. If a student is at a debate meet or baseball game and misses the in-class "task", they have no resources to capture the concept. The student portal shows only problems, no instruction or examples, or answers to some of the problems. The parent portal shows a sentence or two stating the lesson objective. The students' only recourse is to get the teacher to present the 45 minute task to them personally or, (much better) have it taught in a straight forward manner in 10 minutes. The curriculum fails to give students adequate practice and review. As a result, students don't retain the concepts. MVP is worse than useless- It is damaging to students' math education.

The team members are more concerned with covering up complaints than dealing with them honestly. My student now hates math and gained no foundational knowledge in their math 2 MVP class. MVP also caused increased anxiety. Additionally, it left teachers feeling trapped and unable to help their students and their relationships strained with students and parents. They also lack any customer service help. Folks have emailed and called asking for help with their product, but no phone call or emails have been replied to. #wcpsscorruption #mvpfails

Once I was put in touch with High Performance Tutoring, I had an appointment with Victor that same week. Victor has been amazing. He helps walk through my homework with me in a way that makes sense. I would be completely lost without him, and would definitely be failing if it weren't for him. I have high hopes that I will pass the class, whereas I probably would have dropped it if I hadn't found Victor.

I called Sylvan and spoke to the Program Director Lynne and shared all my concerns and how I was hoping we could use the summer to help my daughter get up to grade level math. Lynne was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and put together a learning program and I'm thrilled to say that after only one short month my daughter gained an significant amount of confidence and recently told me she can't wait to start school (instead of being terrified and defeated). The team at Sylvan makes learning fun and they have cool prizes the kids can earn. Although the program is not inexpensive I believe the investment in my child is totally worth it. I'm already seeing a huge improvement in her math skills but what made me the most happy is watching her confidence bloom again. Thank you Lynne and the entire team at Sylvan!
