Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get better grades in Math and Language Arts?
If you are struggling in any of those core subjects the first step is to take a step back and figure out why.
Is it because you don’t understand what your teacher is teaching?
Is it because you aren’t doing or putting enough time into your homework?
Do you pay attention in class and do your homework but do poorly on tests?
Understanding the root of the issue is the first step in getting better grades. The next step is addressing the root problem. If you perform poorly on tests we are happy to provide you with test taking tips and strategies. You might also benefit from getting a tutor to help you with test prep before your next big test.
Where can I find a tutor to help me write an essay?
You should first explore free resources from your school or the internet. A couple of resources we can recommend are This essay writing guide from Harvard and Grammarly’s writing assistant tool.

What can I do to get better at language arts?
At the most basic level, practice. There is very little in life that does not require hard work and practice to get better at. For Language Arts this means reading lots and lots of books. Make sure to read books from different authors and genres.
Reading is the foundation of Language Arts since it will expose you to vocabulary and grammar as well as many other literary techniques.
You should also make sure to pay attention in your class and not be afraid to ask questions or make mistakes. When given writing assignments, find topics that interest you. This will make the homework feel more fun and engaging.
What is the difference between Language Arts and English?
Language arts are commonly used in elementary and middle school. In high school these classes are more commonly referred to as English. The main difference in some schools is that language arts covers grammar and writing. English covers the same language arts’ skills, but it also covers reading comprehension and vocabulary.
It really depends upon the school’s definition and as far as the curriculum and expectations are different, the skills they cover are very similar.
