Is your Hough Husky falling behind in their advanced math classes?
You have big dreams for your student—admission to top-tier universities and a successful career—but their current math grades are standing in the way of their AP or IB Diploma goals.
You’ve tried the big-box tutoring centers near Cornelius, paying $45–$90 an hour, only to see zero improvement. You’re exhausted by the "Hough Hustle"—fighting Bailey Road traffic and I-77 congestion just to sit in a waiting room while your student stays stuck.
It’s time for a Husky-level solution.
We provide specialized, 1-on-1 online math tutoring tailored specifically to the William Amos Hough High School curriculum. No traffic, no wasted investment—just the results your student needs to graduate with honors and get the "Yes" from their dream college.

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.”

3. Do you need a lesson on a particular concept your teacher taught that you did not understand?
4. What did your math 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?

Concerns About Teaching and Instruction at William Amos Hough High School
Perceived Teacher Apathy: A recurring complaint is that some teachers are "apathetic" and "do not teach," often testing students on material not explicitly covered in class.
Achievement vs. Education: Parents have expressed frustration that some teachers prioritize their own performance ratings over the actual achievement and understanding of the students.
Reliance on Supplemental Material: There is frustration that teachers are often forced to "cobble together" materials from the internet or supplement prescribed curricula with external tools like DeltaMath or Kuta worksheets due to poorly scaffolded district materials.
Math Curriculum and Standards Complaints at William Amos Hough High School
Lowering of Standards: Significant parental and legislative pushback occurred in 2025 regarding the removal of Math III as a graduation requirement for the 2025-26 school year. Critics argue this "lowers the bar" for North Carolina students and leaves them less prepared for college-level coursework and standardized tests like the SAT and ACT.
Inadequate Real-World Preparation: Some parents feel the curriculum fails to prepare students for real-life applications, such as basic health literacy or functional mathematics that can be done without a calculator.
Rushed Implementations: New assessment tools (like "SMART") and curriculum rewrites in 2025-2026 have been criticized as being "rushed," putting both student learning and teacher performance at risk.
The North Carolina Math I Curriculum for the 2025-2026 school year is a foundational high school course that integrates algebra, functions, geometry, and statistics. It is a mandatory graduation requirement for nearly all NC public high school students.
Core Content Strands
The curriculum focuses heavily on identifying and modeling with linear, exponential, and quadratic functions.
Algebra & Number Systems: Focuses on the real number system, properties of exponents, and interpreting the structure of algebraic expressions.
Functions: Key learning involves building simple functions from context, using function notation, and comparing linear models to non-linear ones.
Geometry: Emphasizes coordinate geometry, including calculating midpoints and distances, and using coordinates to prove geometric theorems algebraically.
Statistics & Probability: Covers analysis of both univariate (single variable) and bivariate (two variable) data, interpreting scatter plots, and using linear/exponential regression models.
2026 Curriculum Standards (NCSCOS)
The following specific standards are critical for students to master:
NC.M1.N-RN.2: Rewrite algebraic expressions with integer exponents using properties of exponents.
NC.M1.A-CED.1: Create equations and inequalities in one variable that describe numbers or relationships.
NC.M1.F-IF.2: Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret results in context.
NC.M1.G-GPE.4: Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically and find the perimeter and area of figures on a grid.
Standard Course of Study & Assessments
EOC Testing: All students must take the Math I End-of-Course (EOC) test, which includes both calculator-inactive and calculator-active sections.
Graduation Pathways: Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, students who scored below proficient on 8th-grade math may be required to take Extended Math 1 and 2 to satisfy their Math I graduation requirement over a longer period.
2026 Standards Update: While current instruction follows existing standards, North Carolina is scheduled to adopt revised K-12 math standards in the summer of 2026 for implementation by the 2028-2029 school year.
