Course Descriptions:
1. 1-to-1 private tutoring of any subjects
Incl. SAT, SAT II, ACT and any school subjects; available 1, 1.5 or 2 hours per lesson with flexible schedule.
2. SAT Verbal class (incl. critical reading & writing sections)
Over the course, students will learn both the skills and strategies to succeed on the verbal sections of the test. This course reveiews the verbal skills for high school students planning to take the SAT, one of the key measurement tools that colleges use in making admission and financial aid decisions. Students take pratice tests and learn key information, test-taking strategies, shortcuts and traps to avoid. Students can and should prepare for this grueling four-hour exam by reviewing academic skills and learning test taking strategies. By the end of the session, all students will possess the confidence and know-how to maximize their individual performance on the SAT exam. Students will be required to secure an SAT book “the Official SAT Study Guide”, 2nd edition published by the College Board (ISBN-13: 978-0874478525).
We suggest you to take Course #3 "SAT Math" also if you would like to improve your math score.
