I never thought enrolling my daughter in any extra-curriculum math class before COVID-19. Due to distance learning becoming a new normality for my kid’s learning, I started to look for extra-curriculum class for 2020 Summer break. Followed my friend’s recommendation, I pinned Think Academy as a try.
No doubt that advanced technology and systematic curriculum lay a solid foundation for kids math learning process. Furthermore, from my daughter’s experience, I think one of the most successful part of Think Academy class is their instructors. My daughter’s instructors, Justin and Vivian, are very passionate and professional. In class, they used attractive and useful methods to teach, efficiently and patiently. After class, they provide office hours to help students get a better understanding in what they’ve learned and even one-on-one instruction when kids feel struggled to master knowledge points. Most importantly, due to their dedication to their students, my daughter soon established a special bond with her instructors. She is very fond of and trust Justin and Vivian, so she is willing to make every effort to learn from them and to do better and better. I’ll say that these adorable and professional instructors changed my daughter’s attitude towards math learning, and thus improved her ability in math far beyond my expectation.
After 2020 summer class, I continued to enroll my kid in long-term class, because Think Academy really can be seen as a watershed. Before taking Think Academy class, though my daughter is doing well in school performance, she is not interested in Math at all. However, right now, as Think Academy class becomes one of her favorite moment on weekends, she does not only achieve a leap of progress in math, such as operations ability, solving word problems, abstract and logic thinking, but most importantly, she raises her interest and builds her confidence in learning math.

We ordered some tests in early 2022. on Apr 9, 2022 received an email from the think academy providing a link that I was supposed to select one out of two possible time slots. I clicked the link immediately and found out there was only one time slot available at 3:30PM for the same day. I looked at the clock it was 4:03PM Already. I replied to the email saying: “I checked the link at 4:03PM. The only available time slot is today at 3:30PM, which is expired. pls advise.”. Never got any response. On Apr 23, 2022, I emailed again for updates, saying if no response please refund my money. The site answered the next day saying” This link expired on the 21st.” Do not know what this mean. I wish I had screenshot the 3:30PM time slot. This site is fishy. This was not the first incident I had with this think academy.

After posted in Google review, I did get a refund. (This sentence added on Sept 20, 2022)
