Compare our Tutor Charlotte flat price $170.00 a month for 28 to 30 hours of tutoring to our competitor Huntington Learning Center. Their customer complained “They provide a diagnostic and then tell you they will need 80 sessions with your child, at $70-$85 per hour. I contracted for 20 sessions to see how it went before committing to more, then I was told they still need to "learn" my child. Ridiculous! My daughter was bored after 10 sessions, we stopped after 13 and I asked for a credit for the unused hours.”

Question: What is a typical Tutor Charlotte tutoring session like?
During the tutoring session, we ask the student the following questions and tutor what the student needs:
1. Do you have any homework that I can help you with today?
2. Do you have a quiz, test, or exam this week I can help you prepare for?
3. Do you need a lesson on a particular concept your teacher taught that you did not understand?
4. What did your Language Arts teacher, math teacher, and or science teacher teach you today?
Question: Do I need a desktop computer for my student?
Yes, your student must have access to the internet, speakers on their computer, and I recommend access to a working printer to printout academic work. I recommend a desktop computer over Ipads and other devices.
Do you do academic assessments of your students?
Yes, my students do continuous academic assessments in math and English grammar to determine the student’s skills in the subject being tutored. The continuous academic assessment allows us to adjust your student’s academic tutoring to fit their needs.
Question: Do you tutor ELA?
After a careful assessment of the student’s English grammar skills, the student is taught by the master tutor, Dr. Kevin L. Powell, using the Glencoe Language Arts English Grammar and Composition Handbook with complete assessment questions in each chapter based on the reading level of the student. In addition, the student will begin studying and incorporating 5,014 SAT vocabulary words for reading comprehension. The student is continuously tested to measure their academic progress. The student is taught English composition (writing and structure).

Dear Parent(s), I hear you loud and clear about your students attending public schools, and I am here to help!
In 2026, parent feedback regarding the math department at South Mecklenburg High School ("South Meck") reflects a mix of frustrations typical of large urban schools and specific concerns related to the school's diverse student body and advanced programs.
Parent’s Complaints about Instructional Methods: "Discovery" vs. Direct Teaching at South Meck.
The most frequent complaint involves the use of discovery-based learning or "facilitation."
The "Teach Yourself" Perception: Parents often report that students are given problems to solve in groups before the teacher has explained the concept. This leads to the complaint that teachers are "facilitating" rather than "teaching."
Homework Struggles: Because the classroom focus is on conceptual exploration, parents find it difficult to help with homework, as students often lack clear, step-by-step notes to reference.
Parent Complaints about Digital Resource Overload and No Textbooks at South Meck.
Similar to other CMS schools, South Meck relies heavily on digital platforms like Canvas.
Fragmented Materials: Parents complain that there is no central textbook. Students must navigate a "cluttered" digital environment of PDFs, third-party videos, and online modules, which parents feel contributes to a lack of organization.
Screen Fatigue: Some parents argue that learning complex math primarily through a screen is less effective for retention than traditional pencil-and-paper methods supported by a physical text.
Parents complain about Support for "The Middle" Student at South Meck.
While South Meck is praised for its robust AP (Advanced Placement) and Honors offerings, parents of students in standard-level classes often feel overlooked.
Resource Disparity: There is a perception that the most experienced and "best" math teachers are assigned to AP Calculus or AP Statistics, while lower-level Math 1 or Math 2 classes may be staffed by newer teachers or long-term substitutes.
Large Class Sizes: Parents express concern that large class sizes in core math subjects make it impossible for teachers to provide the individual attention necessary for students who are not naturally "math-minded."
Grading Inconsistencies and "Common Assessments"
CMS uses "Common Assessments" across all high schools to track progress, which has caused friction at South Meck.
Rigid Testing: Parents complain that these district-mandated tests are sometimes poorly aligned with what was actually covered in the South Meck classrooms that month.
Weighting Concerns: Some parents feel that the grading categories (Assessment vs. Practice) are weighted too heavily toward high-stakes testing, leaving little room for a student’s grade to reflect their daily effort or homework completion.
Teacher Availability and Communication
Responsiveness: While many teachers are dedicated, a recurring complaint on local forums (like GreatSchools or Nextdoor) is the lack of timely communication regarding a student's falling grades until it is too late in the semester to recover.
Tutoring Access: Parents have noted that "Sabre Power Hour" (the school’s designated enrichment/tutoring time) can be chaotic, making it difficult for students to get the quiet, focused help they need from their specific math teacher.
In 2026, the North Carolina Math 3 (NC Math 3) curriculum focuses on advanced algebra, trigonometry, and geometric modeling to prepare students for college-level calculus and statistics.
While the state is currently revising K-12 math standards, any newly adopted "2026 Standards" are scheduled for an "installation" phase in the 2026–2027 school year, with full classroom implementation in 2027–2028.
Core Content Areas
The curriculum builds on NC Math 1 and 2, specifically expanding into these functional families:
Algebra: Mastering the complex number system, polynomial operations (including degree ≥3), and solving rational and absolute value equations.
Functions: In-depth study of exponential, logarithmic, rational, and trigonometric functions. This includes finding inverses and exploring function composition.
Geometry: Applying geometric and algebraic concepts to 2D and 3D modeling, including the study of circles (arc length and sector area), parallelograms, and volume formulas for spheres and cones.
Trigonometry: Extending the unit circle and radian measure to graph trigonometric functions.
Statistics: Introduction to statistical inference, normal distribution, and using data to justify conclusions.
2026 Graduation Requirement Update
Significant legislative changes affect Math 3 for the 2025–2026 school year:
Optional Graduation Credit: Under House Bill 415, NC Math 3 is no longer a mandatory graduation requirement for all students.
New Sequence: The required four mathematics credits can now be satisfied by NC Math 1, NC Math 2, a Computer Science course, and a fourth math course aligned with the student's career development plan.
Availability: Despite the change in requirement, NC Math 3 remains available in all public schools for students planning to attend universities or pursuing STEM careers.
EOC Assessment
Students enrolled in Math 3 must complete a state-mandated End-of-Course (EOC) assessment, which typically counts as 25% of their final grade.
