Learning & Test- Prep Support

GROUP & PRIVATE WORKSHOPS, IN-PERSON & ONLINE

PEDAGOGY:

The traditional way of learning has much potency—turning the pages of a book, taking copious notes, creating meticulous study guides, finding learning gaps, or [merely] paying attention to homework mistakes.

Our family believes in this old-worn path: deliberate, sentient learning—where we leave no room for shortcuts to understanding any material. When we replace restlessness with patience and haste replaced with intention, learning something hard somehow becomes less burdensome. It becomes straightforward, easy, and intuitive. We begin to get a glimpse of the hidden joys of learning … even in something as rigorous (and tedious) as a standardized exam.

TEST-PREP FOR STANDARDIZED EXAMS

I provide personalized, academic test-preparation coaching for 6th through 12th Grade in group & individual settings, face-to-face and online.

ACT Exam (11th-12th grade)

This standardized exam is known as the competitor to the SAT, and is also used for college admissions. Test dates are from September through June and are typically scheduled a week later than the SAT. Unlike the SAT, the ACT has four sections (Reading, Writing, Math, & Science)instead of three. The ACT assessment measures one’s aptitude and a high school student’s capacity for college-level work.

SAT Exam (6th-12th Grade)

Test dates are from September to June. A student's competitive score on these tests play a vital role in college admissions. These tests also determine aptitudes and talents and may qualify younger students for some gifted and talented programs.

PSAT Exam (6th-11th Grade)

This test is offered each October, once a year. Any student can take this exam but only during their 11th grade can an individual take this test and qualify for the prestigious National Merit Scholarship. Once a student does well and qualifies as a finalist or semi-finalist for the National Merit Scholarship, they will receive different levels of college funding (depending on their scores) and would increase their chances for admission to top secondary schools.

 
 

AP Exams and SAT-Subject Tests (9th-12th grade)

Colleges award course credit for qualifying AP exam scores. SAT-Subject Tests are used for both college admissions and for course placement and sometimes even college credit. AP Tests are offered at the end of the school year during May. SAT II are offered throughout the school year, depending on the month College Board schedules the exam. Private to semi-private only. Please email for specific list of AP tests I coach.

CLEP (11th grade-college)

This test is short for College-Level Exam Program. According to the College Board the CLEP "helps you receive college credit for what you already know, for a fraction of the cost of a college course. Developed by the College Board, CLEP is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program, available at more than 2,900 colleges and universities. Private to semi-private only. Please email me for list of specific CLEP tests I coach.
