What Our Customers Are Saying

This will be our first year homeschooling and after researching for days, I finally feel like I have a system that will teach my kids the way they deserve to be taught! Thank you so much!

— Lindsay Maloney

Hi Larry, I wanted to take a minute to give you our personal experience with ShillerLearning. I started using ShillerLearning 2.5 years ago when I met Antoinette at the HEAV conference in Virginia. My son was 9 and was struggling mightily in math. He has some special needs and math is particularly hard for him.

I bought all 3 kits and started with him from the beginning. He quickly breezed through the first 3 books and I was able to identify his math weaknesses easily.

He is now 12 years old and doing great in math. He often tells people it is his favorite subject. He is almost done with Book 5 and is working through Fractions as well. He is excited to finish these books as well as Book 6 this spring so he can start Algebra in the fall. He has set this as his goal. I am now using ShillerLearning with all of my children and they all love math. Thank you!!

— Shelly Whisenant

My brother and I love your math! Thank you for making math so much fun. My mommy always says she wishes you made language arts and so do I. Thank you for making my brother and I very happy. Your math is the BEST!

— Cooper (9 Years Old)

Shiller has been an amazing addition to our homeschooling life! After working with other programmes with no success (and a LOT of tears and frustration) we found Shiller — what a transformation!

For my eldest son it has been a release from the feeling of inadequacy that surrounded our maths work; now he knows he is good at maths. The materials are so instinctive he’s been able to use them before I’ve read the instructions!

He was doing division of 4-digit numbers a heartbeat after being introduced to the concept, something I’d never considered possible. I’ve been amazed at the shift in his confidence and enthusiasm around maths — it’s no longer something to be dreaded.

For my youngest son it’s given us the opportunity to introduce maths concepts at a higher level, without reliance on writing. At 6 he’s working on the second book and easily understanding the decimal system up into the thousands. The multi-sensory nature of the curriculum has been crucial in repairing the gaps in his understanding left by other curriculums.

Shiller has opened up a whole new way of learning to us — hands-on, multi-sensory maths that is equally successful for a child with learning challenges or for a child who is advancing more quickly. The customer support has been second to none.

— Emma Jones

I have received my Kit and it is fantastic. I am still going over the material to see where to start with my child, who is 7, and I see there are some things he is already familiar with. He is very excited about it too, and ready to start right away. Thanks for this great program.

— Maria Meadows

My daughter LOVES the program. She asks me if we can do math, which to me is so exciting. In the first day of learning my four-year-old wiggle-worm did ShillerLearning for three hours without even leaving the table — she was mad that we had to stop for dinner! We were both thrilled with the program and how much FUN it is. Thank you so much for the great program, and for not only instilling a love for math in my daughter, but also making me look at it in a new and different light.

— Christy Flanagan

We have just finished up Book 3 from Kit I. My daughter wouldn’t hear of not continuing our math with Mr. Shiller.

— Keli Driver

I did ping the local conventional and one international Montessori homeschooling newsgroup about ShillerLearning… those that have used ShillerLearning think it is a “God Send!” (direct quote). Thank you, thank you, thank you for creating this.

— Monica J. Gandara

We are just beginning with Shiller. I have to say that I am loving it! Starting in book 4 for review. Lessons are quick and fun! My daughter isn’t complaining about math and doing most of it orally makes her happy. There’s no math that teaches Montessori methods for older kids that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Loving ShillerLearning and definitely getting Kit 1 for my younger kiddos.

— Jacqueline Forrer

With ShillerLearning my kids actually enjoy doing their math “work”! When we decided to begin homeschooling, the thought of teaching the kids math was terrifying. After weeks of trying to learn Montessori on my own, I found ShillerLearning — Montessori-based, zero lesson preparation. My kids not only enjoy math, they ASK to do math!

— Pam Collins

Mr. Shiller, we are so impressed and blessed by your kits. We are currently using them for two of our children who were recently diagnosed with learning challenges and they are SOARING. It is so wonderful that the sadness now comes from having to STOP doing math! THANK YOU for your work!

— CD Forrester

My 7-year-old son thrives on ShillerLearning. He loves the ability to explore and learn topics that challenge him using a hands-on approach. The use of manipulatives and spiral learning keeps my son interested and challenged. He currently attends a STEM academy twice a week for gifted students in math and science and I can attribute part of his acceptance into the program to our use of Shiller.

— Amy Rodenburg

I just received my Shiller Math and everything was just wonderful!! I am teaching my three grandchildren and am very excited about their response. Even though it has only been a couple of weeks the results have been amazing and the children come in the morning begging to do Math first. Thank you so much for making the re-conditioned kits available, thus making it affordable for us.

— Elizabeth Johnson

Since I have switched to ShillerLearning, my son’s creative mathematical side has come to life. He somehow figured out the basic principle of multiplication and division before we even got to that part. I was worried he wasn’t getting enough drill in his math facts — so I pulled out the old flashcards. To my amazement, he aced them all in record time! Thank you.

— Kelly Cayor

Dear Mr. Shiller, I really like your program. It’s so much fun that I feel like I want to do it every day! I really like the rows and columns song. Shiller Math is my FAVORITE math program!

— Lliana (Age 5)

This is our third year of ShillerLearning! After a previous experience with math in a school setting, I never expected math to be my daughter’s favorite subject or to be a source of confidence for her. Now when people ask her what her favorite subject is she tells them it is math! She FEELS good at math now and ends her lessons feeling successful instead of frustrated.

That first year of homeschooling with ShillerLearning I felt that she would never learn her facts. Last year she finally learned all of her math facts without the timed drilling and worksheets. This year she ASKS for me to print her out at least one multiplication chart a day — for fun!

— Lauren Windle Townsend

My kids love to “do math.” Our math allergy has disappeared! We can go at our own pace and enjoy the game-like activities and the silly songs that are building confidence in my daughter (and me) that math isn’t so tough after all!

— Choosy Homeschooler

We finally have a math program for our large homeschool family that WORKS and is ENJOYABLE! All of my children love math now! My only regret is the delay in starting with the older children. The younger ones have a much richer grasp of math as they have always used this method. The value is EXCEPTIONAL!

— Tiffany Appell

I just wanted to let you know that in 11 years of homeschooling I have found few products as satisfactory as this. Thanks.

— Melanie Jacobs

Our children now clamor for math time where once was the sounds of moans. Julianne, age 7, has benefited the most using your multisensory learning style. She once hated math and ended up in tears a lot of the time. Now she is alert, involved, and truly understanding abstract math principles. Words are not enough to express our gratitude — she is a much happier child now.

— Vivian Isola

I’m happy to report that things are going great since we switched our math curriculum to ShillerLearning. Bryan has struggled with math up until this time, but now it seems to be one of his favorite subjects. I can’t believe the change! He loves all the various activities and even enjoys taking the diagnostic tests. What great customer support — just one more reason we love ShillerLearning!

— Vicki Kapryan

We bought Kit I in Orlando from you in May and just started it this morning with my 8-year-old daughter. She zoomed through the first 12 lessons, took her test, and all was great. I went to pack up and she said “I wish we could still do more. Can we do more tonight when my sisters go to sleep?” I will be going onto your site soon to purchase the second kit. Thank you for developing such a great program that is so much fun.

— Julie Chin

I find your math notes fresh, informative, and very helpful. We use them in class applications, share them with parents and others, and use them in other appropriate ways. Thank you for new ways to look at things, and for your willingness to share.

— Carol McMillan

I was upstairs changing the baby when I heard the Shiller CD come on. My boys, 3 and 4, were there decked out in tin foil hats, underwear, and capes singing to the “We’re two aliens from outer space” track. Upon closer look, my eldest had written “even” on his chest and “odd” on my other’s chest. What fun!

— Sara Hodston

I had spent weeks trying to get my daughter to understand the values of different coins to no avail. We used your program and the very first lesson she had it and hasn’t looked back. It was so simple and yet it had never occurred to me. Thanks very much!

— Kristen Herzberg

I spent several years in public education and more time researching homeschooling products for my own children. Your program, by far, is the most clear, most comprehensive, most attractive, most customer-friendly and most fun program I have ever seen.

— Kathy Grubb

I would love to see as many families and schools as possible using this program. I can’t believe how much my daughter LOVES math. I think the way you introduce complex concepts in simple, clear, incremental ways is brilliant.

— Tara Gibbs

We often tell other homeschooling friends how well ShillerLearning is working for us. We have 2 children working with it this year and they both enjoy it, even with their different learning styles. Thanks.
