Struggling with math and English can be frustrating. Fortunately, FutureSchool, an online math classes and English education program, is here to help. It spans all grade levels, so no matter what the student’s year in school, he or she will be able to find assistance. If the student wants to practice a certain lesson, it can be manually accessed. Or, if desired, students can have a personalized lesson plan designed that focuses on strengthening their weak points. If they need clarification, they can speak with a qualified math or online English tutor at any time. There is no need to schedule an appointment. Parents have the ability to monitor their child’s progress. It’s even a great tool for teachers and home schooling parents. FutureSchool follows the Kentucky school curriculum, so educators can use it to create coursework or find supplemental material for use in their lessons.

Online Math Classes

The online math classes provided by FutureSchool are available from kindergarten all the way up to grade twelve. The very first lessons focus on numbers and basic computations. In middle school, there are lessons on basic algebra, surface area, volume and probability. By high school, students can study up on logarithms, algebra, geometry and even calculus. No matter what topic the student is currently working on, FutureSchool has a lesson, complete with tutorials and practice worksheets, to use. Students can also look at older lessons in order to review concepts or formulas on which they might be unclear.

Online English Classes

FutureSchool’s online English classes are literacy only, there are no classes on literature, allowing Kentucky students to improve their reading and writing. First year learners receive lessons on the alphabet and simple sentence construction. By high school, students can work on improving their grammar and punctuation skills while refining their essay writing skills. There are several lessons throughout the years that focus on vocabulary and spelling, helping students to continually improve their available vocabulary. FutureSchool even offers a set of lessons designed specifically for students who are learning the English language for the first time.

FutureSchool is closely aligned with the Kentucky school curriculum, making it an excellent tool for both Kentucky students and educators. Find out more about home schooling in America and through out the world.
