Be prepared… before the first day at your new school
Our courses are designed to provide students with a variety of choices for expanding their knowledge within their current learning environment and better prepare them for boarding school or college admissions, prepare for a future career, or advancement in their current profession.
Many of our courses were developed by our founder, a Columbia University graduate with more than 10 years of teaching experience and curriculum design. Our English and Business English courses are comprehensive yet flexible enough for most any language learners; our TOEFL Test Prep was influenced by the acclaimed Kaplan education; and our unique Writing Workshop, one of our most popular programs, can be adapted to fit the needs of young learners or adult professionals, and is ideal for boarding school or university applicants to prepare for writing their personal statements.
We offer authentic courses where students will learn material that is consistent with Common Core standards and originates from what is actually taught in many of America’s top schools. Not only will students improve the skills necessary for academic excellence, they’ll also be well prepared for undergrad or graduate studies and a future career!
Indeed, the knowledge built in to many of our courses defies age restriction and is suitable for all comers. Put it this way: It’s never too early or late in life to learn those intangible yet essential “soft” skills, as they’re known, to work more effectively and efficiently, whether in the school classroom or corporate boardroom.
Our courses are conveniently offered online, available as individual or small group sessions.
