We're reinventing online education in the style of 1-on-1 learning. Our team has authored hundreds of interactive, personalized math lessons, and we use a custom analytics platform to continuously improve our content. The result is a collaboration between teacher and student that provides an unprecedented learning experience.

"Will this be on the test?" Students ask this whenever math teachers go through proofs. Yes, they'll use the resulting formulas on their exam, but they don't care where the formulas come from. They only have so much time, and they'd prefer to ace the exam.
But maybe, when that time pressure is removed and students can learn at their own pace, they'll take an interest in WHY formulas are true as well. And that's exactly what we're seeing in on edX. Most students choose to work through optional proofs, even though they're NOT on the test. If you give students some time and freedom, they may surprise you!

How long do you think it would take you to learn high school algebra or geometry? We were surprised to find that most students in and on edX complete these year-long courses in less 24 hours. (But not all in one sitting...that would be rough.) Check out our blog for the details!
