SAT & ACT Test Prep Instructor
About The Position
Freudigman & Billings uses an efficacious approach to standardized test preparation that is influenced by the founders’ collective experience working in cognitive science at Yale University. Our method was formulated based on years of working within the public school system to help develop and research effective models for aligning student evaluation with school curriculum. The Freudigman & Billings approach teaches critical thinking, applied reasoning, and problem solving strategies. We help students understand fundamental principles about how the world of information is organized and how they can interact with that information. This process does not involve the rote memorization of vocabulary or inundation of practice questions that many associate with “test prep.” Instead, we focus on teaching students effective strategies for gathering, sequencing, categorizing, and classifying information from text and visual sources. These processes contribute to a student’s ability to reason, solve problems, make inferences, and draw conclusions.
