Intensive ELA Prep for High School Entrance Exams (SSAT, HSPT, ISEE)

CLASS STRUCTURE

This class is ongoing. Students can enter and leave at any time. Topics do not build. I encourage all new learners and/or parents to message me with some information/learning goals for the student. I am also happy to send the previous week's homework.

There is an homework assignment scheduled after every class in which I will provide feedback.

***This class only covers the English section, not the Math section.*** 

Question Types Covered: Multiple Choice, Multiple Correct Answer Selection, Multipart, Constructed Response, Paragraph Response

MISSED CLASSES
If your student misses a class, a recording will always be accessible on the classroom page. The PowerPoint notes are always available as well. The weekly test and assignments will also be posted for the student. 

Note. If your student is not able to attend in person, refunds will not be issued. This is because the student can still access the materials, recording, and receive grades for assignments. If you need to miss a class or several and do not want to be billed, you can pause your subscription.
