Reviews

Our students love the freedom, flexibility and support we offer. See what they're saying about Sophia's courses.

by jonathan d. on May 18, 2022
Had an instructor who would consistently would return papers without marking the paper off on what should be improved. Simply telling me to "go back to chapter 1 and re-read the material." Never in my life had I taken an English course (Not in university, nor even middle school at that) where my submission would get returned without marking anything off on the essay for improvements. I passed Eng. 101 and 102 with A's in 2010 simply because my teachers would mark my paper for possible improvements if I made mistakes. On top of this I was told to run it through Grammarly for all my grammar errors despite doing so and having it show 0 grammatical mistakes. I was also told I had citations without citing proving he didn't even read the essay. This was easily the absolute worst experience I've had in education.

It was great and easy to complete!

Taking courses on my own time was perfect! This was a great option for college level courses in homeschool high school.

Very informative course!!!

Mr.Evan made it very easy to understand basic Accounting Principles. He used a lot of formulas and showed the step-by-step process for calculations. Simple language was also used to deliver the information, so that anyone without prior knowledge and experience can grasp the concepts.
