Real-world feedback from parents and students

I’m a full-time working parent, and Time4Learning has been a lifesaver. My child can work independently, and I love how easy it is to track their progress.

The flexibility is incredible. On days when work is hectic, we shift lessons to the evening or weekend, and it doesn’t disrupt our overall progress.

The grading and reports save me hours every week. It’s like having a virtual assistant for homeschooling!

Tips on homeschooling while working remote

Set up a dedicated learning space
Create a quiet, organized area where your child can focus during lessons.
Schedule lesson planning time
Spend 10–15 minutes reviewing the upcoming week’s lessons on Sunday evenings to streamline your schedule.
Plan daily progress checks
Check in at the end of each day to review progress and address any challenges.
Take care of yourself
Balancing work and homeschooling can be stressful. Schedule moments to recharge, so you can bring your best self to both roles.
