Why do students and parents choose TPS?

Interviews

Would you like to hear from our students in their own words why they choose TPS for their classes? Our friends at Miracle Mountain Ranch (MMR hosts our annual summer camp and graduation ceremony) took it upon themselves to ask some of our students that question during summer camp 2023. Their unscripted responses were included in the summer camp video. (Click the image to play the video.)

“I love, love, loved this course! The fallacies that are discussed over the course of the semester are fascinating, well-explained, and dashed with humor. The material has already proved practical in helping me think more rationally about conflicts presented to me.”

“I would highly recommend this course to those intending to take the AP French Language and Culture exam. I felt very prepared to take the test at the end of the year. The repetitive drill helped to make me confident in my abilities and very familiar with the test format. I felt that everything in the course was assigned in order to facilitate my success in the AP French test.”

“This course helped me to get a grasp of finance that will benefit me in the years to come. The information this course provides you is vital for your life. And you WILL use the information you learned, unlike other courses where you just learn random things and you use it maybe once twice in your life.”

Elementary,

“I loved this course because not only did it teach me the basics of geography, but it also told me about different cultures and traditions, which was very interesting. It was a very challenging course but full of fun assignments and projects!”

AP, Math

“Although statistics is a challenging subject, I feel I received all the help and resources I needed to better grasp each concept. We were given College Board AP resources, assignments, and projects that all worked to deepen our understanding. We were given many opportunities to practice with AP exam questions so that my confidence only grew as the year progressed to take the AP exam.”

Global Languages

“TPS Spanish 4 gives excellent instruction in many different areas of language learning. The books and articles assigned have given me confidence in my reading ability, and listening to a variety of sources in Spanish has increased my ability to understand what I hear. This class has honed my grammar, taught me interesting vocabulary, and given me practice speaking. I fully recommend it!”

“I enjoyed this TPS middle school writing class. This class stands out from others because the teacher personally helps you revise your sentences and gives amazing recommendations to improve your writing.”

Global Languages

“I started this course with very minimal knowledge of Spanish — just a few vocabulary words that I’d learned years ago — but I now have a good grasp of the basics of the language and feel prepared to move on to Spanish 2. The course has a decent amount of homework without feeling like an excessive amount of work. The teacher was encouraging, and I enjoyed hearing about her own experiences with both the Spanish language and Spain. Overall, I have enjoyed learning the language and would definitely recommend this course to other high schoolers, whether or not they know anything about Spanish already!”

Science

“This course is wonderful! The instructor teaches very efficiently, both communicating the details of biology and keeping classes entertaining. The textbook is brief but effective, and the workload is not too heavy. Overall, a great experience that I highly recommend!”

“I was a little unsure when I signed up for this course how helpful it would be — would the skills taught be things I already know, or would they really be helpful? I shouldn’t have worried. This course covered everything from prioritizing and scheduling to reading, notetaking, reviewing, and studying strategies. Before this course, I would have considered myself decently good at scheduling and note-taking, but almost everything covered on those topics showed me areas I could still improve. I can’t recommend this course more highly. If you want to do better in school, take this. If you think you can’t do better in school, I even more strongly encourage you to take this. I think you will be surprised by how even changing some of the small things taught will make a difference.”
