High School Workshops
Carolina College Prep is proud to offer 1-day SAT Preparation workshops for high schools.
General Approach The workshop is entertaining. I combine motivation and humor with targeted SAT Prep instruction. It is a delicate balance, but one I believe I've mastered. Generally, kids are surprised to find the workshop so informative and enjoyable at the same time. Kids regularly say things like, "When are you coming back?" and "I stayed through early dismissal to hear what you had to say." It doesn't take an advanced degree in psychology to realize that purchasing the most informative SAT Prep workshop available is rendered a worthless decision if the speaker can not hold his audience's attention. My workshop is successful because I can keep your students "engaged" in the learning process, and my techniques for score improvement work.
Format Each workshop is tailored to the perceived needs of the attendees as the day progresses. As such, it is flexible, and the workshops don't "all look the same." They are all effective however, as the instruction is targeted to the specific weaknesses of the attendees. I move on to a different task when the majority of the students have demonstrated tangible improvement.
Score Improvement Target The SAT Prep workshop hopes to improve the average attendee's SAT score by 70 points. I'm not aware of another workshop that targets a specified score improvement, but it is something I do with all of my courses and workshops.
Syllabus All students will receive a workshop syllabus. I wrote it, and can attest that the syllabus is thorough, and contains numerous practice problems in every discipline for further readiness training and self study. Unlike other providers, I use my own proprietary SAT Prep materials - not something you can buy off a bookshelf, or check out of the library.
Cost 1. The cost of our school workshop is $1,000 plus $11 per student; ergo, a workshop with 50 students would cost $1,550. 2. Schools worried about numbers could use a $50 per student fee, with a 20 student minimum. All schools must commit to a pricing structure before the workshop.
Additional Benefits By way of background, I teach private courses throughout the state for kids who want follow on instruction that is more detailed than the workshop environment. The average score improvement in the private course is between 100 and 190 points, and I guarantee a score improvement in the private course. To make this follow on instruction more affordable for those who want it, I provide every workshop attendee a $100 credit toward the purchase of the private SAT Prep Course (normally $395), or any other service Carolina College Prep provides.
References I've recently conducted SAT workshops at the following schools: Wilson, Silver Bluff, Midland Valley, Dillon Christian School, South Florence, West Florence, Aiken, South Aiken, Hammond Academy, Camden Military Academy, and many others.
