  • What is GoldStudent? GoldStudent is an online math enrichment and assistant program for students in grades K - 6.  GoldStudent creates a personal study guide for each student that allows them to work at their own level and speed.  To make learning more fun, we reward students with points for effort and good results which can be redeemed for cool prizes.

  • Is GoldStudent as good as Kumon? GoldStudent is more effective than Kumon.  It uses similar teaching methodology, but has the convenience of online access 24x7 at a much more affordable price.  We understand that many of today's parents juggle work, home, kids and other numerous responsibilities.  GoldStudent makes it easier for parents to help their children be better at math.
  • Does it really work? Goldstudent really works.  As parents, we know that for children to learn things, such as sports or piano, regular practice is necessary to enforce the concepts and techniques they need to learn and master.  Math is no different.  There are many math concepts that need regular practice, and GoldStudent provides a convenient way for students to do this.  We recognize that doing more math may not be the first thing a child wants to do, so we created a point system to reward them with fun, cool prizes to make learning more fun and reward their progress.
  • Is it right for my child? GoldStudent is right for students who are behind in math as well as for students who are good in math and are looking for additional challenges.  Through our personalized assessment testing program, we tailor the worksheets we assign to each student's particular needs.  In addition, we have brain teaser questions for those who like to solve fun, harder math problems.  Every problem a student works on provides a chance for earning more points.
  • How do I know if it is helping my child? You can log onto your GoldStudent account and see your child's progress report, at any time, from anywhere.  The progress report shows all the worksheets your child has worked on and the result of each worksheet, allowing you to closely monitor your child's progress.  GoldStudent was founded by parents with K-6 children.  We understand very well the parents' need to stay in touch, and be informed, at all times.
  • Does GoldStudent provide tutoring services? We currently do not provide tutoring services.  However, we offer our members the ability to email us any math question at any time, whether it is related to GoldStudent assignments or questions about math homework from school.   GoldStudent will get back to you in 24 hours, guaranteed.
  • Is GoldStudent right for my child if my child is good at math already? Yes.  GoldStudent is designed to help both students with lower math scores and students who are good at math but are looking for more challenging and fun math problems.  We create a personalized study guide for each student depending on their level of performance.  In addition, we have fun (but hard) brain teasers to keep students who are good at math challenged.

Your child can get help with any math problem at all.  Just use the "Ask Us" service we offer on our site and email us the question.  We will get the answer back to you within 24 hours, guaranteed.  We are also working on the ability to offer the "Ask Us" service with a one hour response time... coming soon!

  • How does GoldStudent differ from tutoring? GoldStudent is not a real-time tutoring service.  We offer a personalized math worksheet program tailored to the specific student's needs in order to help them become better at math through continual practice.  But if the student has a math question, he or she can email us and we will get back to   them within 24 hours, guaranteed.
  • How much time does GoldStudent take? We expect the typical personalized worksheet assigned by GoldStudent will take less than 30 minutes to complete.  At GoldStudent, we believe that continual practice is more effective than infrequent, intense effort.
  • How long will it take before I see results in my child's math skill level? GoldStudent is a not a quick fix. GoldStudent is a method that will help your child be better at math through personalized study programs and continual practice.   We believe you should give your child six months with the GoldStudent program to judge whether or not it is working.
  • How can I check my child's progress using GoldStudent? You can check your child's progress online any time from any where by logging onto your account using our password protected site.  GoldStudent has a student progress report designed specifically for parents to be able to monitor their children's progress.  It shows the personalized worksheets and quizzes your child has done, as well as the results of those worksheets and quizzes.

  • Why does GoldStudent cost so much less than other programs? GoldStudent costs less than other programs for two reasons:
    1)  Because we believe that all students should have the opportunity to excel in life through solid math skills and
    2)  Because we're able to leverage today's technology to make delivering personalized programs less costly.  Many other companies were developed in the past when the Internet was not as advanced as it is today.

Points and Prizes Hide All Answers Show All Answers

Questions regarding how GoldStudent awards points to its student members, and how students redeem points for prizes

  • How do you keep it fun for kids? We recognize that very few students want to do more math in order to get better at math even though we as parents want them to.   So we designed a reward points system, with input from our own children, to encourage and reward students who do more math.   Students can redeem the points they earn for cool prizes.  We believe it is important to create a fun and positive learning environment for students to stay motivated.
  • What is your point system? Our point system is designed to reward students for completing worksheets, as well as to encourage progress.  Points are awarded every time a student completes a worksheet, as long as the worksheet is not a repeat due not failure to pass the worksheet.  The higher the percentage of problems the student gets right, the more points the student earns.  Points are rewarded for quizzes and assessment tests as well.   When a student earns enough points, he or she can redeem his or her points to earn prizes.  The prizes we offer are the result of input from many school aged children.
  • How does my child earn points? You child earns points by doing worksheets and by taking tests.  The more problems your child does correctly, the more points your child will earn.  In addition, we offer a "Refer a Friend" program, which allows your child to earn more points.  When you or your child refers a friend to enroll in GoldStudent, xxx points will be credited to your child's account after the friend is with GoldStudent past the trial period.
  • How does my child redeem points? On the site's top navigation bar, there is a tab labelled "Points & Prizes".  To redeem prizes,
    1) select the prizes you would like to redeem,
    2) check to make sure you have enough points,
    3) check to make sure the mailing address is correct,
    4) wait to receive your prizes in the mail.
    It's really that easy!
Study Guides, Worksheets and Quizzes Hide All Answers Show All Answers

Questions related to study guides, worksheets, quizzes, and assessment tests

  • What is an assessment test? We ask the student to take an assessment test when they log into GoldStudent for the very first time (or later, as they progress to higher levels).  The assessment test consists of multiple choice problems covering a wide variety of subjects, which we use to assess the student's level, and to create a personalized study program specifically designed for the student's skill set.
  • What does a quiz look like? Quizzes are given regularly to our students to assess whether or not they have mastered a particular concept.  View a sample quiz.
  • What does a worksheet look like? Worksheets consist of personalized problems for a particular student.  Worksheets mostly are not in the multiple choice format.  We believe this is important for the students to learn and master basic math concepts.  For the best results, GoldStudent believes that students should complete at least one worksheet per day.  View a sample worksheet.
  • Can I assign worksheets for my child? You can assign worksheets yourself to your child.  While GoldStudent does assign customized worksheets for your child based on your child's assessment test and progress, we also provide the ability for parents to assign other worksheets to their child, possibly using the child's study guide as a reference.
