There is no single American curriculum. Each state sets its own standards and tests, and many are mid-change. We offer live, one-to-one online lessons that follow your child’s own state and course, arranged at times that suit your time zone.
Most states first adopted the Common Core State Standards, but several have since revised or renamed them. New York uses its Next Generation Learning Standards, Massachusetts its 2017 framework, and Texas never adopted Common Core at all, teaching its own TEKS instead. State tests differ just as much: Regents exams in New York, MCAS in Massachusetts, STAAR in Texas, Smarter Balanced in California and the IAR and ACT in Illinois.
That is why tutors start from your child’s actual course: the class notes, homework and tests their school uses. Tell us your state, grade and course when you request a trial, and we match a tutor to the subject and level. Many students also prepare for AP exams in May or for the digital SAT or ACT alongside schoolwork.
eMath Tutor has no offices in the United States, or anywhere else. We provide online tutoring for families in the United States through live video lessons, one tutor with one student, so there is no commute and no waiting room.
New Regents exams have arrived course by course: Algebra I in June 2024, Geometry in June 2025, and Algebra II and ELA in June 2026. The state has also announced that passing Regents exams will stop being a graduation requirement from 2027–28, so check with your school which rules apply to your child’s class.
House Bill 8 (September 2025) replaces STAAR with a new Student Success Tool from 2027–28, according to TEA. STAAR continues through 2026–27, and end-of-course exams in Algebra I, Biology, English and U.S. History still matter for graduation.
The 2023 Mathematics Framework brings more reasoning and data science into class, and CAASPP is the statewide testing system. For UC and CSU, the A–G pattern asks for three years of maths including geometry (four recommended), and neither system uses SAT or ACT scores in admission decisions.
Illinois moved from the SAT to the ACT family of tests from 2024–25, with the ACT with Writing in grade 11. For Chicago’s 11 selective enrollment high schools, 7th-grade final grades and the HSAT, taken in 8th grade, each carry up to 320 of the 640 admission points.
Since Question 2 (2024), students still take MCAS but no longer need to pass it to graduate; course completion now does much of that work. Boston’s three exam schools admit on 70% GPA and 30% NWEA MAP Growth, with a B average needed to be eligible.
SFUSD moved Algebra 1 to 9th grade in 2014, then voted to bring it back. From 2026–27, Algebra I is offered in 8th grade at all SFUSD middle and K-8 schools, so many families are weighing whether to accelerate.

“We were looking for regular Quran and Islamic Studies classes for our children, but finding the right schedule was difficult. I was also worried about whether they’d stay focused during online lessons. Thankfully they’ve become comfortable with their teacher. They sometimes come after class and tell us about the duas or Islamic topics they learned. Alhamdulillah, it’s encouraging to see.”
Pakistani parent Texas, USA Quran & Islamic Studies “We wanted our children to learn Quran and understand the basics of praying properly. Our younger child is easily distracted, so we were unsure how online classes would work. The teacher has been understanding and keeps the lessons manageable for his age. I like that the children aren’t afraid to ask questions.”
Afghan parent New Jersey, USA Quran & Salah “My little boy couldn’t recognise many letters when he started learning. I like that the teacher doesn’t rush him and repeats things patiently.”
Pakistani parent Texas, USA Noorani Qaida “Living here, I wanted my children to have regular Quran lessons and learn their daily duas. They enjoy telling me what they learned after class.”
Pakistani parent New York, USA Quran & Duas “Some biology chapters are honestly confusing when there’s so much to remember. Going through them one to one makes it easier to understand what I’m actually studying.”
Indian student California, USA Biology “Homework was becoming an argument almost every evening. Having someone explain algebra calmly has made things easier at home.”

Talk to a coordinatorNo. eMath Tutor is an online-only institute with no offices or centres anywhere. We provide online tutoring for families in the United States through live, one-to-one video lessons with a shared whiteboard, so your child joins from home at a time agreed with you.
Yes. Tell us your state, grade and course when you request a trial, for example Texas TEKS Algebra I or New York Next Generation Algebra II. The tutor works from your child’s class notes, homework and teacher materials, so lessons follow the course as it is taught at their school rather than a generic national sequence.
All of them: Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific, plus Alaska and Hawaii. Lessons are arranged at mutually agreed times, and our team works across time zones, so after-school, evening and weekend times can usually be discussed. A coordinator confirms the time with you before the first lesson.
Yes. Many students prepare for AP exams in May while also preparing for the digital SAT or the ACT. We can arrange one tutor who covers the maths for both, or separate lessons for each, depending on the student’s timetable and priorities.
Rules are changing in several states, including New York, Texas and Massachusetts, so confirm what applies to your child with their school. Whatever the testing rules, course grades still count, and the algebra and geometry in these courses underpin precalculus, calculus and college admissions tests. We focus on understanding the course, not just the test.
You send a short request with your child’s grade, course and state. A coordinator then contacts you to agree the tutor, the time and the length of the trial. There is one complimentary trial lesson per student, and fees are shared with you after the enquiry rather than published online.
A coordinator will contact you to understand the student’s needs and arrange a complimentary lesson with a suitable tutor.
