WHAT DO I TEACH IN THIS CLASS:

-Reading Comprehension:
This can be trickly if you don't know one vital piece of information. Passages are based on fact, and this is not what most students are taught in school. It can dramatically change the lens we look through when we read passages.

-Conventions of Standard English (Grammar/Punctuation):
Believe it or not, this can be the quickest section. It takes some effort, but will yield amazing shortcuts if you hang in there, and trust me. Basing your answer on what sounds good will not put you in a great position, and you'll get as many wrong as right.

-Math:
Math concepts range from basic to trig. They are made to look difficult and intimidating, but they are not as bad as they seem. Many depend on logic, and some have great shortcuts.

**Keep in mind that group is not for everyone. I also do one-on-one classes as well.

 INCLUDED IN THIS CLASS:

-Optional personalized notes and gamified homework assignments
-Extra SAT questions embedded into homework and notes, complete with answer explanations
-Additional concept worksheets for math support

THE GAMIFIED CLASSROOM WITH LEADERBOARD:
Traditional study methods can be tedious, and the kids tend to not read the notes. That’s why I’ve created interactive and optional homework assignments that are engaging, such as puzzles and digital escape rooms based on our notes.

Students earn points for completing these tasks, contributing to a fun and motivating Leaderboard. This gamified approach adds excitement to your academic journey!
