About Methodwise

We speak teacher.

Methodwise was created by a parent and educator who has lived the homework struggle firsthand.

With 15 years in higher education, I've spent my career supporting learning. I understand instructional design, pedagogy, and how to make complex concepts accessible to learners.

But when it came to helping my own kids with homework, I found myself in the same boat as every other parent. I wanted to help but accidentally created more confusion.

The disconnect was real.

I understood learning theory. I just didn't understand what decomposing numbers meant.

I've homeschooled both of my daughters at different points and those experiences showed me firsthand how methods like area models and number bonds differ from how most of us learned math. I spent hours trying to teach myself these new methods so I could teach my daughters.

That's how the idea for Methodwise was born.

As I began building Methodwise, I also spent time digging into the research behind homework, learning, and parental involvement. Research consistently shows that how parents help matters more than how much they help. When adults understand the strategies and methods being used in the classroom and feel equipped to support learning, children are more likely to become confident, engaged, and independent learners.

Feedback from educators, parents, and mental health professionals has reinforced how important calm, aligned homework support can be for both learning and family well-being.

The solution isn't giving parents the answers.

It's giving them the understanding by providing the same strategies, language, and methods teachers use in the classroom so parents can support learning instead of competing with it.

Methodwise bridges the gap between how we learned and how our kids are learning today. Because the best homework help doesn't replace what happens in the classroom. It complements it.
