"Just wanted to say that both of my kids are enjoying math (well, at least they are understanding it and not complaining or bewildered.) They really like Mr. Mosely's teaching style and I find it quite engaging myself. Sometimes my son (studying Algebra 2) will call me down to see and hear something funny that Mr. Mosely has said or done. I find it very refreshing and a wonderful relief to see my kids doing their Geometry and Algebra 2 without my constantly looking for additional resources that would bring a different slant to the way my old curriculum had presented it. They just had such difficulty understanding it. Thank you so much for making a math curriculum that is presented with passion for the topic and is easily understood and even has some funny moments too. It's refreshing! Three cheers for Dana Mosely! God bless you all!"
"In May of 2007, at the end of my son's 7th grade year, he took the Iowa and CogAt tests. He scored a GE (grade equivalent) in math of 13+. At that time he had completed Basic Math and most of Prealgebra, through 9.2. Thanks for producing a thorough, rigorous, and enjoyable program!"
"Let me tell you, you have been a real life saver for me. I watch your DVD's for at least an hour a day and have learned so much more from your DVD then I have in class. I just thought you might like to know that you are making a difference in my college education, and that I am really glad that I found your DVDs. Your tapes have helped me understand math unlike any teacher I've had. My grades went south until I discovered your tapes and I then proceeded to pass intermediate and advanced algebra without repeating once. I finished my transfer degree last spring term due to your tapes, I thank you greatly and you have no idea how much confidence your tapes built up in me."
"Since the beginning of summer i have been thoroughly watching and sometimes studying your DVD's. These are rare gems of teaching and treasures for hungry student minds, absolutely on par with the Walter Lewin freshman physics videos at MIT. I am a structural engineer from California, so you know what I've already been thru. My daughter, however, is a 12 year old 8th grader, currently watching your algebra and trig series while doing algebra 2 at the high school. She loves your videos. I'm trying to capture everything you've done that will teach my daughter (and me) before she gets a butchered presentation in class. In closing I just want to thank you for what you've done. In this family, you are well appreciated."
"Thanks to the Chalk Dust math programs, our son recently scored in the 99th percentile in Math on the Stanford achievement test. After using the Chalk Dust Algebra 2 and Precalculus programs, he announced that he loved math. Thank you for sharing your incredible gift of teaching!"
"We have home educated our children from the beginning and have 2 in college and 1 in high school. Our two college-age children did great on their SAT's (thanks to their Chalk Dust Math and the SAT prep videos) and ended up getting full scholarships to a small, private college in Kentucky. Now we're going through the high school math program again with our youngest child, who has always struggled with math. Two years ago we did your Basic Math program and for the first time she understood math! Last year she did Prealgebra. Now she is sailing through Algebra I. She understands it and has finally quit telling us she feels stupid! Thank you for making this program so great! Thank you for making it available to the home education community. We will be eternally grateful. God bless you all."
"I also want to say thank you for your program. The other day Bekah said, "Wow, this kind of problem used to really throw me, and it's so easy now!" What a blessing. Bekah enjoys your presentation and you have really helped in her understanding and ability. Again, thank you. God bless you for the work you're doing."
"I just wanted to say thank you. You are an amazing teacher."
"I had my class last night. Showed your videos. Also tried to show some other videos that I had obtained. The students said stop those videos as we want to see more of those that feature you. You were the accepted star. Just wanted you to know that your fine works are helping my students. One student came to me before class that was considering dropping the class. She came up to me afterward and was a different person and said she felt much better. Thank you for doing those videos."
"Thank you for such a wonderful gift to homeschooling families - we couldn't do it without YOUR teaching ability! Our family started using your math courses eight years ago and have never thanked your for the astounding results. Tony is only 14 and scored quite high on the math portion of the PSAT this year thanks to your program. Colleges are already hounding him! He did this after completing your algebra and geometry courses, and without using the SAT review or doing any other preparation. A much belated and heart-felt THANK YOU from a math challenged homeschooling mom!"
