I think the answer really depends on your learning style.
My DS always had difficulty learning in a classroom environment. He has ADHD and was failing miserably in school in spite of a high IQ. When I pulled him out of public school to homeschool him, I initially tried several different methods of learning math. Absolutely nothing at all worked.
Then I found ALEKS. It has been great and right now is his only math teacher. I don't help him at all and he is progressing and enjoying it. He's only working on intermediate algebra right now, but he's so happy that he plans on continuing through ALEKS for the next few years.
You can't beat the price so it can't possibly hurt to try.
