Test Prep
Test Preparation and Study Skills
Our teachers help students to raise their test scores (SSAT, ISSE, SAT I & II, AP, GRE, MCAT, GMAT, LSAT, ASVAB) and to master the art of test-taking. This course trains students in test-taking strategies, speed-reading, time-management, and content review to grant them the confidence they need to relax and succeed in a pressured environment.
SAT
SAT Prep is offered either as an after-school class or on an individual basis (one-on-one tutoring). It is designed for the single purpose of helping students score as high as possible, or significantly improve scores from a previous try.
We focus on the specific verbal, math, and writing skills that are tested by the SAT. Tutoring is available for all three sections of the test; alternatively, students may choose to concentrate on specific sections (i.e. verbal and writing only; math and writing only; verbal and math only).
Our instructors and tutors help students memorize commonly-tested vocabulary words and to learn test-taking strategies essential for succeeding on reading comprehension. We also focus on key algebra and geometry concepts covered on the SAT. By using diagnostic exams, paying careful attention to time constraints, and giving students important test-taking strategies, we simulate actual test conditions. Our goal is to make students feel as confident and comfortable as possible can when taking the actual test.
We provide students with a broad and challenging range of course materials, including dozens of practice problems for each skill set, practice tests, and assessment techniques such as weekly vocabulary quizzes, reading passages, essay-writing exercises, and weekly mathematics technique quizzes.
We encourage parents to participate in the learning process. Our instructors regularly apprise parents of their child's progress. We do not require students to bring specific test prep tools and materials, as all of our tutors and instructors will attend sessions with their own. Nevertheless, if students already have books or CDs from which they want to work, they are more than welcome to use these materials as supplements in their test-prep sessions.

We also focus on the algebra and geometry concepts covered by the SSAT.
