*Great Place to Learn

            Great Place to Learn is full service is full service tutoring center with four sites in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Included in the many educational services we provide at our sties, is our program of preparation for the SAT. Our students meet with tutors at the center for one-on-one or very small group tutoring sessions in order to prepare for the SAT tests.
            We are considering extending our in-school classes to the Taunton area. As we do in other areas. The program is set up so that we go into the school itself, rather than have the students come to our center. We do a pre-test and score it; then we teach eight hours per SAT section. We offer a two-hour stress reduction strategy session, also. After the class work is complete, we do a post-test and score it. All materials, including the textbook, are provided. Although we offer this class at our Great Place to Learn sites in Swansea, Portsmouth, Wareham and Norton, for convenience sake, we wanted to discuss actually holding the class at your school. If this is something Taunton High School might be interested in hosting, please contact us.
