Course Description

• SAT Exam Preperation:  

  Students enrolled in the program have the opportunity to intensively concentrate on SAT preparation without the distractions of school-year assignments, clubs, and activities. Participants receive more than 35-hours of instruction in addition to taking 3 full-length practice SAT exams over the course of two weeks. This is an opportunity for students to learn the skills and strategies required for success on the SAT, including grammar skills, advanced math, and critical reading. Our experienced instructors employ our time-tested SAT curriculum, which familiarizes students with all aspects of the SAT exam. Our focus is on providing students with test-taking strategies and reasoning skills to employ, rather than training students to rely primarily on tricks. Our SAT students have historically scored average increases of nearly 200 points.

  The curriculum utilizes College Board materials rather than trying to mimic the College Board’s questions. All exams are purchased directly from the test maker.

Job Description:

The primary responsibility of the SAT or PSAT Instructor is to guide students through the Education Unlimited SAT curriculum in a classroom setting and to motivate and encourage students to improve their test-taking abilities. The instructor should be familiar with the substance of the tests and should be motivated to help students succeed on the exam. The instructor will deliver lectures, lead class exercises, provide one-on-one tutoring, and proctor practice exams. Instructors will also be responsible for tracking student work and handing in any deliverables to the camp director and EU home office.

Class sizes are kept purposefully small (average 10 students) to allow teachers the ability to really give students the personalized attention and feedback they need. In addition to teaching, instructors will be responsible for assisting students as needed in one-on-one feedback sessions. Instructors will also be responsible for tracking student work and handing in any deliverables to the camp director and EU home office. 

On-Campus Additional Duties: 

In addition to teaching responsibilities, on-campus instructors should be available and willing to assist the camp director with active supervision, recreational activities, and some administrative tasks. Instructors should be mature, reliable, and able to work well with fellow staffers. Instructors are also expected to act as mentors and will help guide students on excursions. With the support of the entire staff, instructors are responsible for the health and safety of students, in addition to fulfilling instructional objectives.   

Qualifications:

The ideal instructor will have significant writing and college counseling experience, as well as classroom management skills. Most importantly, instructors should be supportive of student work and excited to help students improve their writing skills in the classroom and in feedback sessions.
