Testimonials

“I love this site! My kids were actually fighting to get on it. My daughter hated math... now I have to ask her to stop using IXL and go to bed. That has never happened before.”

Parent, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.

“My son struggled with math last year in second grade and scored "Below Basic" on California's STAR test. His overall math performance was in the 28th percentile. We found IXL online, and this year, he is in the 92nd percentile in math. He enjoys going to school, he loves doing his homework, and overall I think he is just a happier, more confident kid.”

Vanessa Y., parent, Hayward, California, U.S.A.

“THANK YOU for your authenticity! The technical support that you provide is excellent and this program is outstanding! You are to be commended for your efforts and dedication to elementary and early childhood education. You have me as a customer for the next 6 years — since I have 4 kids all under 10 who are working on your site now!”

Parent, Austin, Texas, U.S.A.

“Half way through the school year, we could tell our daughter wasn't mastering the math skills she needed. After just three weeks, her comprehension and confidence are definitely growing. I would recommend IXL to any parent who is concerned about their child's progress.”

Parent, Plano, Texas, U.S.A.

“As a parent, I love IXL. My son thinks it is another computer game. He loves the game board, with the stars and awards. What an incentive for the kids to look forward to! My preschooler is so excited to fill in all the award spots. It is just awesome.”

Parent, Silver Spring, Maryland, U.S.A.

“I like the site's user-friendliness, even for children, the use of full color which makes it more engaging and fun, the quick responses the children get when they submit their answers, and the rewards (medals, etc.). My pre-K boy and first grade girl see IXL as fun and games, so they're motivated to do it.”

Clinical psychologist, New Jersey, U.S.A.

“My son has gone from a low D at the end of the 2nd quarter to a low B this quarter. There is still room for him to improve, but he sees the results, and he can see the extra work and time he spends on IXL has had a positive impact on his grade. His overall attitude towards math has also improved, and he no longer is discouraged at his ability to understand and solve the problems in class.”

Parent, Sahuarita, Arizona, U.S.A.

“This program is awesome. I have three young children enrolled and they fight over who gets to use the computer to work on their math.”

Karen Sexton, parent, South Carolina, U.S.A.

“I am a parent of two children ages 10 and 6. I felt my children needed some incentive, and IXL has been a great help in keeping them up to date and enthusiastic about math. My favorite features are the times tests and the explanations when the answers are incorrect. Now my kids feel much more confident and find math fun!!”

Parent, Puerto Rico

“My 7-year-old daughter LOVES IXL! She's in a Montessori school, so I wasn't sure how to assess if she was at grade level. She's having fun and I can see she's easily doing grade level appropriate skills.”

Parent, Mountain View, California, U.S.A.

“I am a grandmother homeschooling a 13-year-old with learning disabilities. She is at grade 1-2. I am so pleased with the whole site! The exercises are stimulating, never boring, and my granddaughter loves to do them and earn the awards — even if it takes her a lot of repetition, she'll keep trying until she gets one. I love that there are SO many activities and grades all in one program.”

Grandmother and homeschooler, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

“My son has autism, so he needs things explained in a more visual way. In this regard, IXL has been really helpful. Parents of special needs children are always looking for resources and easy ways to teach children. IXL is not only easy, it reduces children's frustration. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for creating this math website.”

Parent, Cheshire, UK

“My six-year-old son is very bright in reading, writing, and other areas and is easily reading at a 2nd grade level if not above. The one area he struggles in is math. But with IXL, I can see some improvement in his math skills already. I like the fact that he can access it from home and practice it. I also like the fact that I can check on his progress. This is an invaluable tool that I can use to help further his education. Thank you, IXL, and thank you, Kenden Elementary, for providing this program for my son.”

Parent, Lansing, Michigan, U.S.A.

“I just wanted to compliment you all on such a great math program. My oldest child LOVES IXL. I've pulled her out of school to homeschool her, and the IXL reports have been invaluable! It makes it so easy for me to add her grades to my grading spreadsheet and to see her improvement. I love that you provide that information — it really makes a difference for a new homeschooler!”

Janeen Brown, teacher, parent, and homeschooler, Wiley, Colorado, U.S.A.

“My favorite features are the practice questions and the system of rewards. My kids are really interested in them, and the user interface is really good compared to other sites. I can see that my son is showing good progress at good rate.”

Shamaila Tahir, parent, Karachi, Pakistan

“My coworker was asking me questions about her daughter's math homework. She knows I have a teaching degree so she thought I would know how. I did not know the new terminology. So I plugged in the stem and leaf question and your site came up and we were both surprised. It not only explained the way to work the problems but gave great practice problems. She has 3 children and now they all use it.”

Grandmother, Oklahoma, U.S.A.

“I was skeptical of IXL, only from the negativity of other websites claiming to be fun, yet teach children math at the same time. I figured IXL was just like the other websites. I was wrong!!! I would, and already have recommended IXL to other parents whose children are struggling in math as well. I have already told my friend, who is also an elementary teacher how wonderful IXL is. I cannot stress enough how IXL is boosting my son's confidence, self esteem, and math grade! I NEVER thought I'd see the day when I tell my son that it's time to do some extra studying, without him getting upset and negative. He is eager to work on IXL and when he has completed his extra studying and can log off of IXL, he chooses not to. He will continue to work on IXL at his own free will. THANK YOU, IXL!!”

Parent, Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.

“My son has learning difficulties - dispraxia, dyslexia and ADD are the main concerns. I supplement what he is learning at school in order to keep him abreast with the class, and it can be a challenge for our relationship. Using IXL has improved our relationship as he likes IXL so much more than any of the other programs (flash cards, worksheets) that we were using before. I am extremely grateful. I can sit beside him and instead of being the mean mummy who is throwing tough questions at him, I can be encouraging him on towards 100.”

Parent, Hong Kong

“Ixl.com has been an amazing tool to help my son get caught up with the curriculum he needs for his grade level after he fell behind in his math.”

Parent, Bradford, Ontario, Canada

“We've just begun, but I can see confidence building already after less than 1 hour on IXL!”

Parent, Indiana, U.S.A.

“My kids are rocking in math. I LOVE IXL!!”

Parent, Austin, Texas, U.S.A.

“I believe this program has made our daughter a stronger math student and has given her the ability and desire to want to be challenged and successful in math. In school, third grade word problems with the hidden concept of 'solve for X' was her most challenging concept. But getting extra word problems from the IXL program really helped.”

Parent, Corona, California, U.S.A.

“We would like to thank you for your work, IXL is the best math related webpage for kids we have found on the internet! Our daughter, is only 4 years old, but likes math very much and enjoys working on IXL every day (she has done almost 13,000 questions since starting 8 months ago). She is now mostly doing first and second grade skills, but can do also some of the higher skills tasks. Thanks to your webpage, she has done an enormous progress in the past few months.”

Parent, Slovakia

“I love: (1) The parent pages - being able to see my son's progress, trouble spots, time spent, problems he's done, etc. I feel that I am able to gain insight into how and what he's doing in math! (2) The game board concept! Today he got so excited because he got a guitar! I LOVED IT! THANK YOU! (3) I also LOVE the variety of math problems you have here. There are easy AND challenging problems, and it's great for him to have both!”

Parent of a 3rd grader, Plainville, Connecticut, U.S.A.

“First of all, THANKS! My 1st & 3rd grade boys love IXL, especially the awards and the award game board.”

Parent and homeschooler, Farmers Branch, Texas, U.S.A.

Alexandra Myers, parent, Newark, California, U.S.A.

Parent, Chennai, India

“We really enjoy the site, and the virtual prizes are a hit. My son has gained more confidence, and his skills are improving. His teacher is also very impressed.”

Parent, Naperville, Illinois, U.S.A.

“Thank you for your amazing work. I'm a mom and a teacher for children with special needs. I have a son with Down syndrome and I love your site. You help me to be a better mom & teacher.”

Parent, Tehran, Iran

“I like that I can play too! There is no interference with his scores when I play as a parent. I like that a lesson/quiz changes it up in the middle a few times....my boy can't get comfortable with just blindly adding answers.”

Parent, Surprise, Arizona, U.S.A.

“This program takes the frustration out of math because it allows the student to practice at his/her own pace and stay focused. It's okay if you mark one wrong because another one will be waiting. This is a great tool to have.”

Parent of a 4th grader, California, U.S.A.

“I am a mum and my son has made excellent progress through your web site. It is really a good web site where parents can learn as well.”

Sidra Madina, parent, Hayes, UK

“With IXL, my son's confidence has improved since he has a lot of practice. He now seems to be conceptualizing more than guessing.”

Parent of a 5th grader, Edison, New Jersey, U.S.A.

“Since I homeschool, I'm always looking for a variety of subjects that appeal to specific grade levels. Math is of a particular concern. With IXL, I like that I can look at my state's educational standards by grade level, and I LOVE that I can compare it to other states! I can hold my own classroom to the highest levels of standards this way.”

Meshele Tomplait, parent, Raymond, Mississippi, U.S.A.

“I am a mom who is trying to help my daughter (grade 5) study math and searched Google for math exercises in English because I couldn't find any in Portuguese. This site came up and my daughter loves it. She learns English in school here and understood all the questions and was getting the answers! Math is not her favourite subject, so I was so happy that she was enjoying these exercises.”

Parent, Bombarral, Portugal

“I tutor my son at home using IXL. I am seeing a great improvement in his attitude and confidence level.”

Disha Kibria, parent, Moreno Valley, California, U.S.A.

“My five year old girl loves to practice her math skills using IXL. She loves the colors and graphics!”

Perla Garcia, parent, Monterrey, Mexico

“Keep up the good work and thank you for an excellent product. I would highly recommend IXL. My husband and I love getting the reports, and the fact that my son can work on it on his own is very good. It lets him be independent.”

Parent of a four-year-old, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

“The material in this website is really good. The rigorous exercises give kids more hands-on experience and plenty of practice. Also, the price is very affordable and very reasonable. Keep it up!”

D. Anand, parent, Frisco, Texas, U.S.A.

“This is a wonderful site. I always spend a lot of time trying to help my kids at school and after I found this site, everything became easier. The kids love studying, they have motivation, and they are learning every day.”

Maite Lazo, parent, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

“My 5th grader has been struggling this year, and this program is helping improve his grades. When he gets stuck, we simply go into 4th grade level and review some of the basics. One click and we're back to 5th grade with greater confidence!”

Parent, Shelby Township, Michigan, U.S.A.

“I am a home schooling mother of three little girls. My oldest is 5 and is a kindergartener. She enjoys math very much and is working at a much faster pace at it than others her age. My middle one is 4 and a pre-schooler. This website has been much help to her as she begins to learn her basics. And my youngest is only 2 but learning so much from her older sisters. I am very fond of your website.”

Parent, Azusa, California, U.S.A.

“This program is so helpful and amazing that I have repeatedly thought and said this was the best site I've ever purchased a membership for.”

Theresa Takli, parent, Glendale, California, U.S.A.

“My favorite feature of IXL is not a physical feature of the site itself but rather the confidence it has given my five year old in his abilities. Each time he finishes a task and wins as he calls it a mini trophy, he gets very excited. He has never had a long attention span but in one day of review my child answered over 240 questions. I was amazed as he never sits still but for this software he did. It was really amazing watching him enjoy math.”

Parent, Lafayette, Louisiana, U.S.A.

“My boy is crazy about IXL. He's only 4 years old, and he's already answered over 5,000 questions in the first 6 weeks. My favorite quote: "Daddy -- If I eat all my vegetables, can I study math?" No longer very interested in TV.”

Parent, Bloomington, Minnesota, U.S.A.

“I think IXL is the best educational maths site for my kids. It's excellent in the way it gives the parent feedback. Also, congrats for one of the simplest and most interesting sites for maths.”

Peter W., parent, Lymington, Hampshire, UK
