SAT Skill Workshops

 

Our SAT workshops are an a-la-carte solution that combines the cost-effectiveness of an SAT class with the more individualized approach typical of tutoring. The cost of each workshop is just $40 and you can attend as many or as few as you would like. We often hear students complain about one of two “Achille’s heel” areas of the test that prevent them from performing as well as they would like:
 
“I just can’t do fractions”
 
“I always lose track of what I’m reading on those long, boring reading comprehension passages”
 
Our SAT workshops are designed to give special attention to very specific parts of the test. Each workshop is an hour long with a maximum of eight students. Students can choose to attend all of the workshops for a general subject area on the test (e.g. Reading Comprehension) or attend the specific workshop that addresses their needs (e.g. Active Reading/ Main Idea Questions). 
 
Please contact us if you have any questions or to sign up for the Skills Workshops of your choice.
 

Workshops start at 5:30 PM and run in our office at 50 Cherry Street in Milford.
