Frequently asked questions

Do Triangle tutors help with North Carolina EOG and EOC tests?

Yes. North Carolina public schools give End-of-Grade (EOG) tests in reading and math in grades 3–8, plus science in grades 5 and 8, and End-of-Course (EOC) tests in NC Math 1, NC Math 3, English II and Biology. Several local centers, including The Burke Learning Center and Resource Room, list EOG/EOC prep among their services.

Do high school students in Wake, Durham and Orange counties take the ACT at school?

Yes. North Carolina gives the ACT to public school juniors during the school day, so many families here prepare for the ACT as well as the SAT. Local test-prep providers such as Forgione Tutoring, Mindspire and Raleigh Tutoring cover both exams.

Why do some Raleigh-area centers advertise track-out camps?

Many Wake County Public School System schools run year-round calendars, where students rotate through multi-week 'track-out' breaks. Coding and enrichment centers such as iCode Fuquay-Varina schedule camps around those breaks, so ask about track-out options if your child attends a year-round school.

Where can I find help for dyslexia or learning differences in the Triangle?

Hill Learning Center in Durham offers Orton-Gillingham-based tutoring and executive function support for students with learning differences. LearningRx (Raleigh and Cary) offers cognitive training, and Unique Expressions Tutoring Services in Cary focuses on children with learning differences. Families of students with an IEP can ask whether a provider accepts North Carolina's ESA+ education student account funds.

Are there free tutoring options for adults?

Yes. Durham Literacy Center offers adult literacy and GED tutoring and ESOL classes, and Orange Literacy in Carrboro offers free one-on-one reading, writing, math, computer and English instruction for adults.
