Senior this Fall term? Advice from the Doctor...

Hello from Academics Upward Tutoring! I'm Dr. Linda B. Greer and I have news for you. Time to start planning ahead five weeks before the available test dates for the SAT or the ACT exams this academic year. I like to think that seniors are mature enough to call me and schedule their own contract time on Saturday mornings. After all, next year you'll be completely on your own and considered an adult. WOW!

I can promise the 12 hours of tutoring you receive for preparation will boost your college board scores. Be prepared to spend weekends prior to your test date doing practice tests and learning new college vocabulary. I will meet with you on Saturday mornings from 9 AM to Noon. Please email me at drgreer@charter.net or phone 864-278-2018 for more information.

SAT and ACT for Spartanburg HS and Greenville Technical College are given in the chart below along with my start date for college board exam preparations. I have taken into account normal holidays when students might be out of town.

Make sure you keep up your diligent effort to learn this year. Your Grade Point Average can be greatly increased if you redouble your study time and testing efforts as a senior in high school. Every point counts this term and in the next one toward good standing for your college applications. Your writing will be pivotal to your success in required English, History, and other required courses that involve critical reading and research analysis.

For any high school student in home school, I am available during the weekdays to proctor your progress on benchmark tests for this year for any test you choose. My BJU test administrator number is available by email before ordering your test materials to be delivered to me. The test environment at my home office has proved to increase student scores because it is very quiet, very comfortable, and instantly sets students at ease to perform well.

At Your Service Year Around,
Dr. Linda B. Greer
