Test Preparation Workshops
Are you in the process of applying for studies in the US and confronted with practicing for the SAT Reasoning, ACT and TOEFL tests? Do you have no time/discipline/incentive to go through that thick practice book or online course on your own? UStudy can help you! The test preparation workshops led by our American teachers are 2-3 hours long and conducted in English. UStudy offers both group and private lessons. To make the most use of these workshops, we limit the number of registrations for our group workshops.
The purpose of our workshops:
- Gain familiarity with the design of the tests
- Apply simple strategies and handy tricks
- Practice these strategies
- Tips for writing a ‘persuasive’ essay
