Thank you for the opportunity to explain our program to you.
We have been teaching students how to improve their SAT/PSAT scores onsite in Dallas since 1992. We have adapted the very successful program year after year to meet the changing lifestyles and learning styles of the students. In 1997 we started our online program and have offered free and premium content to individuals. It, too, has been successful in helping students raise their scores.
We can now offer this same SAT improvement online program to schools to use and present as their own. The site can be customized to the school’s specifications, but it already contains a comprehensive program which will prepare students to reach their optimum scores on the SAT. You will find the listing of the content of the site with brief explanations below.
We can provide you with a test site that is proven, comprehensive, and easy to implement. This is, in effect, a ready made program you can brand as your own and offer this fall. We do realize that you are probably implementing your fall curriculum, and we would have contacted you sooner had we had the program proven and tested sooner. If you do decide to offer it this fall, we can have the site ready in a week. Otherwise, you may want to consider offering it second semester for your Juniors this spring, and then offer it year round.
Schools can utilize the online program several ways. It could be used as a complete program, or it could be the core of an onsite school program in which texts, teacher guides, and standalone interactive versions of the onsite elements (which we can provide) are used.
As an example, the school might provide 3 one hour classes where the introductory presentation is given. The students get tests from a facilitator; take the test sections at home or during designated class time, and then review, using the online explanations, or their facilitator.
The SAT program could be offered as an added value for enrolled students. It could also be set up to generate revenue. We will work with the school or district to develop the type of program most beneficial to the school.
To view an example of the site you could offer, you can use this link:
