ESSAY WRITING
Major expectation discrepancies exist in the English language curricula of middle school students versus high school students. This class aims to proactively bridge this gap, making the transition from middles school to high school a smooth one. With particular focus on essay writing, verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, and test-taking skills, the overall curriculum prepares students for the ISEE high school entrance exam.
All lessons are designed to be both challenging and graspable for each student. In a fun, rewarding, and encouraging environment, students progress at an accelerated pace, building creativity, knowledge, application skills, and confidence.
