REVIEW:
Professional educators created Homeworkhelp.com to give students (and parents) access to reliable, accurate, and kid-safe homework resources. The tutorials and lessons here break down difficult subjects into manageable pieces. All the subject areas are configured the same way so students can concentrate on learning the material instead of the process. The site uses new technologies and does require some plug-ins and later-version browsers, which are explained and available from the site. The site does not offer answers but rather insights, problem-solving techniques, and reminders of basics. The site does charge a monthly fee for membership and offers special pricing for classroom and school memberships. Users can get a free trial membership with access to the entire site for evaluation. Parents and students looking for extra help with school will appreciate all the site has to offer.
