Online Test Prep Seminars
One popular way to prepare for the SAT and/or ACT is to take one of Cherie's online seminars. For a lower hourly rate, students can benefit from Cherie's expert coaching, while enjoying participating in a small group and learning from other student's essays, questions and comments. The SAT Essay The new SAT essay is daunting for many students; it is largely an exercise in rhetorical analysis. I work with students to help them understand the nature of rhetorical analysis, and how to go about writing a cohesive, intelligent essay that analyzes a particular literary or historical text. The ACT Essay The new ACT essay presents a very different task, equally daunting to many students. Students are given three differing perspectives on a topic, and must take each of these into account while creating their own argument regarding the topic. I have developed strategies to help students use the prompts to their advantage, and show students how to write high-scoring essays that will boost their ACT scores. My educational background, coupled with my substantial teaching /tutoring experience makes me an ideal choice for teaching students how to successfully grapple with the new SAT and ACT essays. I know how to effectively address students' writing problems regardless of the level of their skills. I review and teach what is needed, and proceed beyond the nuts and bolts to teach students how to formulate a focused analysis of a text (SAT) or an issue (ACT), leading to a higher score on the essay. |
