Curriculum Overview

Math

Matthew Makrinos

Curriculum Designer

My teaching focuses on problem solving through pattern recognition and streamlined mental flow-charting. This foundation upon which SAT materials and life situations are based is the constant underpinning of my class. I avoid teaching “tricks” to solving problems and focus on one universal problem solving method which functions as the corner stone of SAT reasoning and of all deductive logic. I stress study skills, mental acumen, time management, awareness and elimination of silly mistakes, and conditioning by encouraging students to do head math and discouraging the constant use of calculators, which drain confidence and encumber.

Critical Reading and Writing

Marlee Napurano

Curriculum Designer

My approach to the Critical Reading and Writing sections centers on exposing how literal and formulaic the verbal questions are. On that platform I have built structured and efficient techniques for each type of question and my students practice these techniques until their familiarity with the material makes them virtually immune to silly mistakes and the stress of the test. Along the way, I teach students to point out (and laugh at) all the tricks and traps in the questions and answer choices so that these can no longer intimidate or confuse. Focusing on what you know, not what you don’t, living by the Law of the Dictionary, staying literal, and breaking the test into a series of short, concrete missions (in 5-15 minute intervals) are the main principles of my curriculum.

Our small, seminar-style Private & Magnet School Test Prep course spans 6 weeks and readies students for high school admissions and placement tests. It includes:

  • 18 hours of instruction
  • class capped at 10 students (minimum 2)
  • 1 full-length take-home test
  • convenient location
  • group rate savings
  • pizza & snacks

Contact Marlee and Matt for a consultation and bring your goals within reach.
