Brightstorm Makes Learning Fun

I was never good with math or with creative writing and that is obviously the reason why I didn’t consider majoring it when I was college. I chose Social Science instead. It’s fun talking about history, a little about politics and geography if you ask me. Do you know what is weird? My eldest brother loves Calculus, Geometry and Algebra while my second brother hated math but he is good with writing. However, I am good with history and my sister next to me loves math while our youngest enjoys Biology, Physics and Chemistry.

It can be tough for high-schoolers to absorb everything in one place. Imagine sitting in a classroom with one subject after another. I used to hear some of my high school students before complain about how difficult it is to do everything together. Teachers also have the tendency to give projects all together. I remember when I was in high school; I was so embarrassed to ask questions during our math sessions. So instead I sit there acting like I know what I was doing. Luckily I had a close friend who helped me walk through the lesson so I barely passed. If we only had Brightstorm during my time I could be telling you a different story. Would you believe that math, history and other subjects can be taught in a creative and fun way? Plus you never have to feel like you are pressured unlike when you are in a classroom because the lessons are on videos so you can play it when you are ready while you sit at the convenience of your home or school. What I find really interesting is the professionalism of the content yet applying it to the real world. Some venues that you will see in the videos are in the sidewalk, by a construction building and other places just to make a point and emphasize a concept in the simplest way. It actually got me excited when I saw a few of the videos. To experience what I am talking about why don’t you sign up for a free brightstorm account and don’t forget to pass the link to those you know that is in high school or has a high school student. I am sure every high school student can use the help to pass the SAT.
