Guidelines & Homework Schedules

FOR PARENTS & STUDENTS

GUIDELINES FOR OPTIMUM BENEFIT FROM OUR SAT PREP CLASS

Be College Wise is an SAT prep created by HS Teachers.  We run our classes the same as good teachers run their classroom...with a lot of tough love!  This is a very tough test!  Students will only increase their scores on the SAT if they put effort into the class.  Being a warm body in a class is meaningless and a waste of the students’ time & the parents’ money. For maximum benefit students need to be actively engaged in the instruction.

 

    1. Listen to the teacher all the time,  do the assigned work, follow along with the class. 
    2. Do the suggested nightly homework, follow the “homework guide”(included in this email & availablestudents the first night of class),  time yourself for each section, check your answers, try to figure out wrong answers, bring difficult questions to your SAT teacher(Click here to download the Mon/Wed HW Schedule or Tues/Thursday HW Schedule)

 Discipline Policy

This class is taught by experienced teachers, who are handpicked because of their knowledge & skills in classroom instruction and classroom management.  Our SAT prep is taught like any subject in school and the expectations are the same as in a regular classroom: listen to the teacher and do the required work.

Class expectations for students:

    • Listen to the teacher & follow along when he/she is instructing. Do the work required by the teacher.
    • No use of cell phones for text messaging or otherwise
  • No ipods or music in ears
    • No socializing with other students

Consequences for inappropriate behavior:

Students will be given a verbal warning.  If the behavior persists the student will be asked to leave the class and the tuition will be returned (pro-rated)
