What We Cover

Reading Comp + English

The SHSAT is divided into two parts, English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. To prepare students for the ELA section, our summer intensive teaches reading comprehension strategies for fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. We also review - and reteach as necessary - the rules of English grammar and parts of speech.

Math: Foundations through Advanced Concepts

The math section is known to be tricky. To prepare students, our tutors cover the foundations, such as numbers, operations, fractions and percents, then dive into more advanced math. Students can expect to review ratios and proportions; factors, multiples, exponents and radicals; absolute value; scientific notation; word problems; and more. Since sessions are tailored to each small group, tutors will review or re-teach whatever each group needs most.

Test Taking Strategies

Timed-tests are anxiety inducing for many students. We teach the best tricks and strategies for doing well on them. And once learned, these tips can be used on any timed test.
