Many of our students have seen significant improvement on the SAT test, with some even achieving a perfect score of 1600! We also provide public speaking and debate classes, TOEFL， school application counseling services， essays， interviews， internships， etc. We are also proud to have helped many students gain admission to top colleges and high schools.
EA Education focuses on helping students improve their soft skills such as critical thinking skills, analysis skills, communication and presentation skills, and writing skills. We believe these classes would benefit students in these fields.

SAT Course Introduction
I. SAT Critical Reading and Writing Syllabus
This 20-40hour strengthen course is designed to raise students’ SAT scores and refine their critical thinking, reasoning, and writing abilities. Students will be taught the foundations of how to read passages critically, how to read questions critically, how to approach questions with regards to respective strategies, how to understand coherence and cohesion, how to spot grammatical errors quickly, how to write with agency, and how to understand and implement rhetoric.
Regardless of when the student enters, he or she will be taught the critical skills necessary to improve his or her score. Nevertheless, for a holistic understanding of the material, we recommend that students take the course in its entirety. Furthermore, because the class is administered during the school year, it will work flexibly to accommodate students’ workloads, yet it will maximize efficiency by providing necessary practice and by avoiding busy work. At the conclusion of the course, students will be better prepared for academic work in college and beyond.
Course Requirements and Evaluation
1. Attendance and Participation
Classes meet every day for 2 weeks（or 3-4 weeks），and so it is imperative that students attend all classes in one module. Instruction will be lecture and discussion based, and so we encourage and rely on students’ active participation. Furthermore, classes will run in conjunction with homework assignments, so to not waste time, students should complete all homework assignments, review their mistakes, and come to class with questions.
2. Course Format
Students will attend two hours of lecture and discussion classes each time. They also have the option of taking private lessons. Students are also required to complete the homework assigned in class, as the first few minutes of class time will be dedicated to reviewing practice problems.
3. Evaluation
At the end of every module, reports will be sent out to parents. The reports will contain a comment from the teacher, and the student’s test and homework scores.The test contains a verbal and a math section. Each section is worth 800 points, totaling a perfect score of 1600.

II. SAT Reading Comprehension Class
The most difficult part of the SAT to improve in a short period of time is the SAT reading section, especially for students who come from China. They may have difficulty keeping up with the speed of the SAT exam and achieving a high level of accuracy. It takes a relatively long period of time to master this section, for example by strengthening reading comprehension skills, especially by reading novels of a certain level of difficulty in detail, improving accuracy and developing critical thinking and analytical skills.
Students can start by attempting a set of SAT reading questions on their own, and the teacher can guide them through solving the questions, analyzing the classification of the article, teaching them how to quickly grasp the main theme and important information in a short period of time, how to quickly eliminate incorrect answer choices, and summarize the various question types. Through 1.5 hours of analysis, students will receive the most systematic and detailed analysis, identify weak areas and effective methods for improvement.
III. SAT Math
This course includes studying the types of questions and test areas covered in the SAT math exam, including topics such as linear algebra, advanced algebra, data analysis, function operations, and geometry. The course will help students review the math knowledge they learned in middle and high school, analyze the relationship between exam questions and knowledge points, understand the characteristics of commonly asked question types, and develop problem-solving strategies, answering skills, and proficiency in tricky knowledge points and question types. Additionally, the course will include extensive practice to help students improve their problem-solving abilities and speed.
Students can choose to attend small group classes or one-on-one tutoring sessions. The aim of the course is to assist students in mastering the content and skills necessary to excel on the SAT math exam.
