Math study
I would like to recommend a learning website to everyone: Afficient😊. My daughter has been studying here for a long time. Its advantages can summarize knowledge, improve learning efficiency, and help her find the cause of mistakes and study in depth. The online teacher also explains very attentively. Thank you
I think whether it is a self-motivated child or a child who needs to find out the gaps, they can gain confidence here.

Hello Trac! Thank you very much for the 5-star review! We truly appreciate it. In our AI-driven programs, students can find the gaps, self-learn the materials, build a strong foundation, and go on to learn advanced materials and gain confidence. Best wishes!
help button not that great
I think Afficient is a decent platform and that i have learned a lot from it, but a lot of times i have to dig into the internet to find out how to do a problem because the help button doesn't help. For the same type of problem, it would give different processes and doesn't explain how it got to the answer that well. Almost like seeing a whale is fat and then suddenly you say it has parasites. They don't directly connect, which makes it difficult

Could you give us a few examples of exact skills or lessons with screenshots, if possible? We will analyze and make the necessary changes. You may send emails to our support team, or discuss it with your Account Manager or with your instructor in your online sessions. Thanks and best wishes!
kind of drives me crazy
i was doing afficient math and it seems that they don't explain stuff clearly enough. Plus once i got an answer wrong, i dropped from a percent of 289 to 112.

Hello guaiguainiuniu! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We really appreciate your honest feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that the explanations didn’t feel clear enough and that the score drop was frustrating. We understand how discouraging it can be to see a large percentage change after getting an answer wrong. The scoring system is designed to reflect mastery and accuracy.
When a question feels unclear, we encourage you to use the Help button and Assisted Exercises, which provide step-by-step explanations. If things are still confusing, our instructors are available to help clarify concepts through online support or in-person sessions at our learning centers. Your feedback is important to us, and it helps us continue improving how we explain concepts and communicate progress.

Hello! We understand that you are a frustrated student. The program is designed to help you master the concepts well and perform well in your final exams, securing a good grade. You may not understand its value right now, but you will be thankful later that you went through our rigorous program to master the skills in math and English. Best wishes!
Student doing review
I see that all of the one star reviews are by students.... I do afficient math. It can be challenging at times, and the demos can be hard to understand, but that's why there's these nice tutors! If I'm struggling a lot, then I just hop into a zoom meeting. I don't think anyone that gave one star actually uses the zoom meetings. You're not just paying $150 a month for the website, but you're also paying for the tutors. Math class at school is so much easier, and I can learn the material in advance! Would recommend! I really love math!

My child was 4 years behind in English and 2 years behind in math and got caught up
We started on Afficient just before the pandemic lockdown. My son was starting 6th grade but tested at 2nd grade level in English (which we expected) and 4th grade in math. Afficient got him caught up in both subjects; he's now in high school and still doing Afficient, ahead of his grade level in math and just a bit behind in English (reading comprehension and vocabulary have always been difficult for him).
There are occasional errors and glitches, which are annoying. I have reported errors in the English lessons, which get acknowledged but not fixed as far as we can tell. I have found punctuation errors, grammar errors, definition errors, and mismatched answers. The math questions have a button for reporting an error, which is useful. The English questions don't; you have to send an email.
For a student to get the most out of Afficient, it is helpful to attend the live tutoring sessions, You aren't just paying for the software, you're paying for a live instructor too. I suspect many of the negative reviews here don't account for that.

Thank you so much for a 4-star review. We are so glad that your child could catch up to grade level and has advanced beyond the grade level. That's an amazing achievement!
Trash and sucks
Whenever i get a question right at the last 1 percent of the afficiency of algebra 2, it barleys give me a point. Just 0.01. While getting all 6 correct gives me only like 0.04. Where an single incorrect drops me 0.15 percent. And even if I get the rest correct, it still drops me 0.1. And some questions mark me wrong right off the bat when I just started it. And my mom pesters me to get the full and max score where it is not even helping me, and you said it had ai to help you.

Afficient is trash!!!!!!! It sucks As*
This website sucks because it is genuinely impossible to pass division to the power of ten. There is some sort of stupid glitch where even if you entered the right things you get it wrong. And, when I straight up copied the help characters, it still gets it wrong. Lastly, it drastically decreases your self esteem. It makes kids thinking they are bad at math. Also, it makes kids hate math. I would not recommend any of you to try this website for any reason

Hello Zac! There is no such glitch that we have come across or any of our students/parents has ever complained. If you continue to find such problems, you can contact your Academic Advisor and they can help you. Alternatively, send us an email and we will forward it to our technical support. Thanks.
Don't get Afficient
This sucks. My percentage goes down by like 30% each time I get an answer wrong while only giving me like 5% when I get a question right. Also, a lot of the instructions are really weird and don't make sense. It's also a pretty expensive program.

Hello Arim! When you are in Afficiency session which is like a test, your points go down when you make mistakes. You have enough opportunities to learn the concept and practice it enough before you go for the test. Your goal should be to improve your accuracy and get excellent grades! We suggest you focus on developing your skills and be careful to not make mistakes in the test.

This site is trash. I answered a question, it said it was wrong. I clicked help, and it was the same exact thing. WHY

Hello Arthur! We can understand your frustration but you must know that making mistakes in the Afficiency session, which is like a test would deduct some points. However stay focused and do not make unnecessary mistakes. Your goal should be to improve your accuracy, get excellent results and finally get excellent grades in school tests. Best wishes!
Not fun but helping
I got an A on my midterm and I'm happy about the results. It's not fun, but no math study is fun I guess. This one is better than going to tutors at least I can do it at home and I can study with my cats by my side. I LOVE MY CATTTTSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Serene! We do not expect such bad behavior from our teachers or students. Did you contact your Academic Advisor? Did your parents contact any of our instructors? Did you report to our Administrative office?
Bad!
Bad! This website will decrease my percentage by so much when I get a single problem incorrect. Its really frustrating and most of these problems don't give a proper explanation when I click the "help" button. I don't recommend this at all!!

Hi Bella! When you make a mistake in the Afficiency session, you tend to lose some points. Your goal should be to avoid making unnecessary mistakes so that your accuracy can improve. If yur accuracy improves, your score improves and you get excellent grades. If you are unable to understand a concept, we have Supervised sessions managed by teachers who could help. We have online Q&A sessions that you could join and get help. If you are student at a local learning center, the help is there 6 days a week. We are committed to help our students achieve excellent results. Best wishes!
