    Getting Out Math On With Tabtor Math Personalized App {Review}

    By 293 Comments

    Disclosure:  I received a Tabtor subscription and gift card in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

    tabtor 1

    My 6 year old struggles with learning but he loves technology so I am constantly looking for new apps for him to try.  Tabtor is an app unlike any other that we have tried before.  It is an app that is basically math worksheets for your child to accomplish but from there on its so much more.

    Once you sign up for Tabtor you get a 2-week-free-trial and a dedicated instructor.  First you have your child take the Diagnostic Test so the instructor can decide what worksheets to start your child off on.  I absolutely loved this feature.  Within 24 hours an instructor had evaluated Aidan’s results and started him off with a set of worksheets.  Then after each worksheet she’d evaluate it and leave comments. From there she’d set up new worksheets that would either be easier or harder depending on how Aidan did.  For example, he doesn’t know how to read and the problems that were full of words like “Is one more than two?” he struggled on.  She could see that he took a lot of time on them and got them wrong so the next set of worksheets she changed to pictures of animals.  She started him off easy and went up from there then.  This really makes the app unique as you really do have a dedicated instructor.  I mean sure at home I can print him out worksheet after worksheet but I am no educator.

    No other app gives you a dedicated instructor like Tabtor, nor does it change the assignments depending on your child’s progress.  Yes you do pay for this service, its $50 a month but if you are paying a tutor anyways this is worth it.  (Make sure you check out the $10 off coupon code I have below.)  Tabtor is truly an extremely personalized learning experience for kids from kindergarten through sixth grade.  Oh and I didn’t even mention but Tabtor is used only via an iPad.  I am hoping it will expand to Android or the Google Play store, but nothing yet.  The Tabtor worksheets can be completed at the convenience of the students from the iPad they probably already have with them.  No carrying around big textbooks or printing out worksheet after worksheet.  Every keystroke, penstroke, eraser mark is tracked and the instructor uses it to help understand the student’s abilities.  Yes there is room for kids to scribble their work below the problem!

    Tabtor currently has 500 active students enrolled and those students have shown a 20 percent improvement in just two months.  My son used it almost daily and I do believe he was starting to get it (math) more.  He loved using the iPad and it was super convenient for us to just hand over the iPad instead of looking for an appropriate workbook page and pencil.  He loved the whole touch-screen math part and how he had “his own teacher.”  He actually got to the point where he was looking forward to the worksheets.  As a parent I loved the communication from the instructor.  Overall, there is nothing I dislike about Tabtor other than maybe the cost which is a lot for me right now.  I did look into math tutoring though outside the home and it was way more expensive than $50 a month so if you are looking for something and like it after the trial then its definitely worth it.  The worksheets are basically endless so they can do as many as they want.

    Here are some examples of the feedback I received in my email:

    Here is a problem, the blank space is all for taking notes or scribbles.

      I would love to talk to someone who has used tabtor for a few months and get there feed back. Anyone switched from Kumon to tabtor?

      This seems to fit to an individual child’s strengths and weaknesses and that is truly the key to teaching successfully. Knowing a child and how to approach how that particular child learns. That is what I like best.

      I like that their patent pending Point of Learning Analytics (POLA) tools provides awesome data on student performance.

      As a data nut, I love the app’s Point of Learning Analytics feature and the fact that it captures such details info about kids’ learning activities, even down to the keystrokes they used!

      I really like this because it is an individualized program that you can start at any math level. I think this would be a great program for my grandkids.

      I like that it is personalized and rewards the kids with badges or gift cards. That would definitely be motivation to learn.

      I really like the personalized learning and that they are helping every child release their inner genius!! Simply makes sense that we don’t all learn the same way and great to see this easy structured format.

      I like that students are rewarded with gift cards and badges, I think positive reinforcement is a great way to keep kids (and adults) motivated.

      I like that you can use this at home to teach your child (instead of a tutor) and I think its good for learning before a child ever needs to be tutored

      I like that it is on the tablet and that my kids can work on it anywhere we go and they are more likely to because it is on the tablet
      I also like that you can tailor math problems

      I love the tracking. like the time taken. that shows you not only when they get something right but if they might have struggled to get it

      I like the “Facetime’ weekly calls-that really takes it that extra step and I think that makes it a lot more personal for a child than ‘just an app’ (even though it sounds like an excellent app) 🙂

      I like that based on intelligence gathered from grading, the teachers tailor subsequent math assignments to each student. Thanks.

      I like that it rewards the child for the work they’ve done. This is pretty cool. This would be good for my niece. She doesn’t like math but I think it my sister had an app like this that maybe my niece could learn that math can be fun. Thank you 🙂

      I like that each student starts with a diagnostic test so that they aren’t given material that is either too easy or too difficult for them.

      I like that the Student’s Skills are matched to the math problems that they are going to solve. The students use an IPAd to put their answers into thus helping them learn better.

      With their slogan “iPad replaces paper and pen” I learned that my grandson would be using his Dads iPad and this alone would make him want to do this as he loves it & feels like a big boy when using it.

      I love that there are images for mathematics. Younger kids can look at them and add/subtract! Great for visual learners!

      I like that they have the child take a test and then the instructor is right there to help with the correct level to start them at.
