Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Lockport District Curriculum
In Math, students learn the basics of computation, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics and learn to apply what they have learned to everyday life. The curriculum across all studies is progressive in nature with students building upon their learning skills grade by grade. Students develop skills in equations and relationships, geometric and spatial relations, and ways to analyze quantitative data.
In English and Language Arts, students learn to read both fiction and nonfiction, and learn to write compositions and reports that utilize their reading material, and which are related to themselves and to the world around them. Students are expected to learn how to decode meaning in words and texts, developing the skills of discerning readership. Writing, for multiple purposes and audiences, is also a goal of the curriculum and developed over the years.

SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son’s confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.

SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son’s standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son’s standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son’s math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son’s confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What’s particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.
