Class experience
US Grade 5 - 8
In this class, we will consider in-depth the admissions test for the specialized high schools of New York City. Because this is a one-on-one class, we will be able to tailor the experience to the needs of our student. If our student needs to work on mastering standardized test taking, this is what we will focus on.

The student will come away with greater familiarity with each of the different parts of the SHSAT. This will help to alleviate the anxiety that typically accompanies a test experience of this sort.

I am good at assigning the right amount of the right kind of homework.Assessments Offered
