Summer Workshop

The summer is an ideal time to advance writing and reading skills. In this workshop, I design a program of reading and writing that promotes general English skill advancement. The main goal is to strengthen the skills learned in the previous grade before practicing the skills that will be needed during the next school year. I  pay close attention to each student’s learning style in order to maximize improvement.

I also offer summer courses in SAT/ACT preparation and guidance for college admission essays.
