“I
was at the top of my College Algebra course…”
My name is Faith, and I was a homeschooler who used your video
series for both Algebra I and II. I graduated this June, but for the past year,
I had been going to a community college where I took a College Algebra course.
Your math more than prepared me for this type of work. I was at the top of my
class, and my teacher said that I must have used a “really great curriculum”
in high school.

“He
can tutor others…”
Wayde has improved in his Algebra to the point where he can tutor
others. He blows away the public school kids, and those are usually the ones
he is tutoring. At one point in time we had a tutoring/homework time going on
during youth group at our church. A young lady was having trouble with a problem,
and our son looked at it and simply TOLD her the answer. She was furious and
even said that he couldn’t be right. Wayde said the girl checked the back
of the book and said “How did you do that?”, because he was correct.
This skill would not have been possible without your curriculum.

"My daughter now understands..."
This series has been the best I have
ever seen for math tutoring. You are doing a fabulous job and I can't say enough
about how thankful I am to have found this. Math has been our tough subject
and I have tried several algebra programs. My daughter now understands the lessons
so well that she occasionally commented that she is "bored" with the reviews!
Don't be offended. Bored is wonderful!! All I've ever heard about math is how
she hates it and how hard it is. I am thrilled that she can understand enough
to be bored occasionally (and this is not often). 1 am so pleased and intend
to purchase the rest of the course when she finishes the 4 videos we currently
have.
Thanks!

"Awarded scholarship and earned college credit.."
After studying Keyboard Enterprises
Algebra I and II with Mr. Firebaugh, my son scored high enough on the SAT to
be awarded 6 hours of college credit in math, including College Algebra, and
a full four year academic scholarship to Angelo State University. Mr Firebaugh's
instruction is thorough and understandable, and requires virtually no parent
assistance. As a homeschool veteran of 14 years, Keyboard Enterprises Algebra
stands out as one of our most successful investments in curriculum.

" I disliked math before I used these tapes..:"
Keyboard Enterprises' Algebra videos
made learning fun for me. This is an amazing feat considering that I greatly
disliked the subject before I began using these videos. I had been using textbooks
before. The videos are not only extremely understandable, but interesting as
well. If I had any questions about the lesson all I had to do was call him and
ask. When I had completed the series, I came away with wonderful algebra grades
and a great understanding of algebra that was very useful in college.

"Your format is easy to understand..."
We are now ordering the Algebra II
series from your company when we have seen how well our daughter did with Algebra
I. This past spring our daughter took the standardized CAT test and scored 16
out of 19 perfect scores. Three of those perfect scores were in math. Your format
is easy to understand and the instructor is clear and easy to follow. Thanks
for all your hard work.

"Finally an algebra course designed to go
at the student's pace!"
Finally a Pre-Algebra and Algebra
video series designed to be done at the pace of the student. If you are looking
for a good, visual math curriculum that is simple, thorough and accompanied
by easy to use workbooks, tests and answer keys, then the Keyboard Enterprises
math series is for you. I recommend this often to families looking for real
help in mathematics.

"Mr. Firebaugh is a great teacher"
When I first began learning algebra,
I hated it. I would think out reasons why it is an unnecessary subject, saying
"What do I care about what 'x' is?" For a year I struggled, loathing
it, but doing it as my duty to my parents. I didn't understand the concepts
and would get most of the problems finished, only to find that I had misunderstood
a new rule (or even an old one) and after all my work, I had to admit failure
again. Then my mom ordered a new way to learn algebra - on video! We (my brother
and I) had never had a video course before. Keyboard Enterprises was just what
I needed. Mr. Firebaugh is a great teacher. He explains each new level clearly
and we can rewind to catch something we missed. Bryan and I did the course together.
We worked out the lessons with Mr. Firebaugh and wrote out everything. We enjoyed
finding the answer to his sample problem before he'd finished working it out!
And as we listened, humor would come out in the lesson. Soon I not only had
stopped despising algebra, but it became one of my favorite academic subjects!
Bryan and I are enthusiastic about doing Algebra II this year and are deeply
grateful to Mr. Leonard Firebaugh for his clear, enjoyable instruction. I would
endorse this course to anyone who has problems with understanding algebra!

"My daughter is maintaining an A in algebra.."
Thank you so much for all of the time
and effort you have diligently put into your Keyboard Algebra I & II programs.
Before we had heard of Keyboard Algebra we had tried other curriculums but were
unsuccessful with them. Then we found out about Keyboard Algebra and began using
it in our home. This program offers such an organized approach to algebra and
has made a wonderful difference in my daughter's understanding of algebra. The
way Mr. Firebaugh teaches the lessons, his pointing out to the students the
crucial aspects they must master, the reminders he gives the students, etc...
make this program stand out and above all other programs to me. I cannot really
express in words how exciting it is to see my daughter excel so wonderfully
(maintaining an A average from the beginning of Algebra I all the way till now
- the middle of Algebra II). Mr Firebaugh, we could not have done this without
your wonderful-incredible teaching of algebra. Thank you again and we're looking
forward to Geometry.

"Mr.Firebaugh's algebra was the answer to
our prayers"
Mr. Firebaugh's algebra course was
the answer to our prayers. We have a wonderful 13 year old son, whom I home
school. He is ambitious and mature about learning. We were using a reputable
correspondence school for algebra. The course had no videotape, they only provided
a manual. Our son is used to working successfully with correspondence manuals
yet he would struggle for hours doing drills and memorizing rules. I could see
a sunny, bright student becoming more frustrated by the day. I have no algebra
experience so the manual was Greek to me. My husband would come home after a
long day of bricklaying. He would work for hours on the algebra and run into
the same problems. My son would then try harder during the day hoping his dad
could relax. None of us are quitters so I put an advertisement in the paper
for a tutor. I got about 80 calls. They called and told me their price, time
schedule and location. I could tell the tutor method was out. I then found a
math lab at our local community college. We had to wait on a waiting list to
have a question answered. My son loves home school but he was willing to sacrifice
it so he could have an algebra teacher. This almost broke our hearts. Then I
remembered Mr. Firebaugh's advertisement. I was pleasantly surprised when Mr.
Firebaugh answered the phone himself. I could tell he was a dedicated teacher.
He told me that if the program didn't work we could return it in 30 days. This
was wonderful news - l was out of money from the other courses. The program
arrived promptly. My son and his father turned into algebra sponges. His father
didn't want to be in a situation where he could not help and he wanted to be
sure our son was learning. Sometimes they both watch a lesson over and over
again. You don't mind working hard when you know you will see progress. We were
relieved that we did not have to compromise our son's home school education,
and we feel confident that we are providing the best education.
