What Our Teachers Do

Imagine Academy Teachers

All Access
Our teachers, called Academic Counselors, are available to provide support and answers throughout the day, Monday through Friday between 9 am and 5 pm EST. We know how critical it is that students get answers the moment they have a question and not days or hours later. That is why all of our  Academic Counselors gather in our offices each day and work a full day so that we can guarantee answers when you need them.

 

Expert  & Passionate Guidance

 

Our teachers are all subject matter experts with specific training and expertise in their chosen field. Many are actively working in their fields. Our teachers are recruited for their passion and dedication, not only to teaching and to the student, which is imperative, but also to the subject matter they teach.

 

Automated Grading

Many assignments are graded by the computer so the student receives instantaneous grading that is satisfying and helpful. For essays and projects, the teacher provides feedback and suggestions in writing.

 

Email Responses within 4 Hours

 

If the student prefers to email the teacher rather then using the live online tutoring button, we guarantee our teachers will answer your emails within 4 hours.

 

Confidence & Assurance for Parents:

With Imagine Academy courses, homeschooling parents can feel confident their students are being taught by experts. We believe homeschooling is a fabulous way to raise children (and our founders and many staff members have been homeschooling for decades) and we also know that parents cannot be experts in everything. A wise parent knows where to seek help as needed. Homeschooling does not mean you have to do everything yourself, anymore than providing nutritious meals means you have to have your own farm! Its wise to leverage the expertise of others.

 

Encouragement and Mentoring for Students:

Imagine Academy teachers are here to guide and facilitate learning. Traditional learning relies on the “Sage on the stage”. We believe this method is obsolete today. Imagine teachers are “guides on the side” who nurture and encourage and lead. This new way of viewing the teacher's role is having a dramatic impact on students, as they are freer to drive their own learning.

 

Saves Parents Time:

With our automatic grading of many assignments, our teachers do much of the work that has previously been burdensome to some homeschooling families. Not a day goes by without parents writing letters to us about how different their lives are as a result of our programs.

 

Materials Acquisitions:

Our Curriculum Developers amass the best of both online and offline resources for each of the Imagine courses. The World Wide Web is a rich repository of information, but it can also lead to many blind alleys and endless detours. Our experts have sifted through hundreds of thousands of “educational sites” and selected only the most interactive ones to include in our curriculum.

 

Online Teacher Training:

Online education is a new, growing field. Most teachers trained in traditional methods of teaching are simply unprepared for the unique challenges that face online teachers. We provide expert training to our teachers so they are well equipped to meet each student's needs. Some teachers do not adapt well to the special requirements of online learning and we gently encourage those folks to find other positions. Our first commitment is to ensure a fantastic experience for our students.
