Great question! With my deep expertise in US college exams, I’ve redesigned test prep, especially for international students, in these key ways:

1. My live, subject-specific group courses are tailored for busy international students, offering flexibility to fit test prep into their demanding schedules. By teaching content mastery through essential life and executive functioning skills, students seamlessly integrate test prep into daily routines, applying these skills to schoolwork and beyond.
2. Instead of overwhelming students with memorizing various strategies for different question types, I teach one reliable method: “Answer GPS.” This simple, repeatable method, introduced during content mastery and refined after, helps students map questions, quickly recall content, and navigate to the answers efficiently.
3. My unique, dynamic, and advanced virtual learning experience makes students feel like I’m right there with them in a focused, distraction-free environment. Using interactive whiteboards and other traditional pedagogical tools, my system replicates the in-person experience, ensuring each student feels individually valued and understood. It’s like having your teacher teleported to you, no matter where you are in the world!

Ready to transform your test prep experience? Let’s get started!

US colleges accept both the ACT and SAT, but the right choice depends on your child’s strengths. Learn for Life provides a free diagnostic test for each, followed by expert analysis to recommend the best fit for your child’s abilities and college goals. Here’s the scoop: the SAT has undergone many changes and now uses computer-based exams, demanding new skills and adjustments, while the ACT has been consistent for decades. Other crucial factors include accommodations and the overall experience – students will spend a lot of time with the material, so a more agreeable experience can lead to better results.

Keep in mind, the SAT may have additional fees and test date restrictions in Hong Kong, India, elsewhere internationally.

Absolutely! Learn for Life specializes in teaching students time management and stress relief, especially during test prep. Courses integrate executive functioning skills to maximize content mastery and taking advantage of Answer GPS. Students learn how to break down tasks into manageable steps, adopt a growth mindset, create effective study schedules, and practice mindfulness to manage test stress (often mislabeled as test anxiety).

I’m here to make this journey smooth and fruitful. Join me in helping your teen Learn for Life and ace the test!

ACT Reading can be a beast, especially after the 45-minute English and 60-minute Math sections. The tight time limits and complex questions make it daunting. The core challenge is switching reading styles between literature and informational texts. I teach them a practical method to read for arguments and information, linking it to persuasive writing. This enhances both comprehension and writing skills. Once students grasp this, they can untangle multi-step questions using the Answer GPS: a test-wide method that saves time and energy while boosting accuracy and scores.

To avoid burnout in Reading Comprehension, I recommend mastering English and Math content through my subject-specific courses. Applying Answer GPS across all sections keeps students sharp and focused throughout this challenging test.

I created Learn for Life to seamlessly blend test prep into the busy lives of international students. Instead of focusing on specific test-taking strategies, I teach real-life skills that unlock the test. My first priority is accuracy to ensure mastery of any concept, including my unique method, Answer GPS: a straightforward, universal tool to decode information. Answer GPS applies to any question on the test, helping students map out questions, recall knowledge quickly, and navigate to the answer. But it’s not just for tests – it’s a versatile life skill! 

For example, Answer GPS helps students unify their teachers’ varied communication styles, making it easier to understand assignments and break them down into smaller, manageable tasks. By integrating these methods into daily activities, students cement their ability to recall them swiftly, rather than juggling various memorized test-specific strategies.

Learn for Life makes complex ideas easy to digest and empowers students to succeed not only on the test, but also in their academic and personal lives. Sign up today!

Learn for Life creates a welcoming space for neurodivergent students and those with learning differences.

Learn for Life is your perfect place for non-native English speakers and international students prepping for the ACT or SAT. Courses bridge grammar, writing, and reading concepts seamlessly. Reading courses strengthen practical, efficient reading methods, vocabulary, and understanding US contexts. English courses hone in on common grammar and writing hurdles international students face and the unique learning backgrounds of international students that often result in already strong grammar foundations. 

I emphasize real-world application: mastering grammar, reading, and writing to enhance personal expression and reader comprehension – ideal for college application essays and beyond. Course homework often integrates school assignments and increases gradually to build confidence and proficiency comfortably.

Learn for Life helps students master the test but also enhance your overall English skills. Join me in turning test prep into a powerful journey to Learn for Life!

Start test prep early! Think of it like training for a triathlon or IronMan. I suggest starting in year 10, aiming to finish by mid-year 11. The ACT and SAT differ from school exams and need new behaviors to use accumulated knowledge.

A longer prep window eases pressure, making it easier to boost scores. Think of it like building muscle memory with the brain.

Absolutely! Many tutoring services offer practice exams in-person at locations designed to mimic official testing conditions. But Learn for Life has a unique twist: prepare for the unexpected. Test day can bring countless kinds of unanticipated distractions. From a proctor slurping yogurt or munching on chips to a blasting AC, or a neighbor tapping a pencil, real prep means getting used to less-than perfect conditions. That’s why I offer virtual, proctored practice tests and sections wherever it makes sense – be it a quiet room alone at home, a bustling coffee shop, or a packed public library.

Learn for Life proctors actively engage with students to get the most out of each session. These situations often bring out old habits that our courses aim to replace with better, though initially tougher to apply, ones. To counter this, Learn for Life proctors remind students of skills they’ve learned and the Answer GPS system, training their minds to associate the ACT or SAT with positive behaviors. As students progressively apply these strategies effectively, proctors gradually step back, encouraging independent recall. Proctors also track real-time student performance during the test.

One thing I keep consistent: Saturday morning practice tests. Teens’ brains vary in effectiveness by time, and Saturday mornings are tough. Afternoon tests? Not reliable predictors. So, I train their brains to associate Saturday mornings with testing, starting with Friday prep. By test day, it’s routine – a multi-hour, multi-subject exam feels like just another Saturday! This builds confidence and readiness, ensuring they’re at their peak when it counts. Simple, effective, and proven to work.

This thorough approach ensures each practice test or section is optimized. Exams are scored and analyzed before every Feedback Forum, a key part of each course. This comprehensive assessment process guarantees every practice session is as effective as possible, equipping students with the tools and confidence they need to succeed.

Practice tests at Learn for Life not only prepares you for the test but also helps you thrive in any setting. Try out a practice test today!

Learn for Life focuses on US college admissions test prep, but my unique, holistic method incorporates skills needed for writing standout application essays. And I selectively coach a limited number of students on crafting compelling application essays.
