Educating Our Parents: Understanding the San Mateo District Curriculum
The state assessments that are given in math, reading and writing are aligned to the Common Core Standards. The expectations put forth within the curriculum are the skills that students are tested on and scores allow teachers and parents to see how a student is doing on meeting these academic expectations.
By using a curriculum that sets achievable and measurable goals, the skills that students are succeeding in and need extra instruction in can be seen clearly through the classwork and assessments. This is valuable for the strengthening the educational experience of all children.

San Mateo District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
The curriculum used in the schools of San Mateo provides a standards-based approach to learning. The schools use the Common Core Standards as the framework for Math and English/Language Arts on a grade by grade level. These standards explain the skills required for learning areas of math like algebra, geometry, data analysis and numerical operations. In English/Language Arts the curriculum covers reading, writing, listening and speaking by pinpointing the skills that help students develop in these areas.
We currently cover the following San Mateo-area school district: San Mateo-Foster City School District, San Mateo Union High School District.

Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
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.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy’s Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter’s score and confidence level.
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.
