Why SAT e-Tutor Actually Works

I developed this SAT e-Tutor to help my second child excel on the SAT. She took the PSAT last year and did not perform as well as her brother had. That's totally normal and I try not to make comparisons among my 3 kids, but this second child clearly could use some help to ace the verbal part of the SAT. Her PSAT score was fine, but in our family, we like to score in the top percentiles; we're kind of competitive like that.

Her brother had a huge advantage. He's been reading several books a week since he was in second grade. In fact in second grade he got a copy of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (unabridged) as a birthday present. By the next day he had finished. Not bad for an 8 year old. But that's rare.

You can buy a prep book or take a course; I highly recommend both. But to get vocabulary down, you either need to read or study a lot of words. Not many students have time for that.

With SAT e-Tutor, you get 2 SAT words each day (Monday - Friday) with SHORT definitions. You also get a pronunciation hint, without all that confusing phonetic symbology. I tell you what the word sounds like or what it rhymes with.

Then you get 2 sentences using these words. Sentences that are contemporary and relevant to today's culture.

On top of that, you get 2 exercises to use these words. By doing these easy exercises right away, your brain creates that neural pathway to help you remember the word when you need it.

For optimal use of the program, I add a parent to the SAT e-Tutor list so the parent can casually refer to the word in daily conversation. Practicing new vocabulary helps everyone in the family.

Benefits of Vocabulary Building

Research has long backed the importance of vocabulary in students' success. That's one reason schools stress reading programs as reading is inextricably linked to vocabulary. However, not all reading material is of the same vocabulary value and many children simply are not fond of reading.

Playing with words as we do in the SAT E-Tutor program can help anyone expand his vocabulary. Parents who use more words help their children who subconsciously mirror the communication patterns in their families.

Here are just a few significant benefits of learning new words:

• Higher SAT score.
• Greater confidence in social situations.
• Ease in getting better grades across the curriculum.
• Reading becomes much easier.
• More success in future job interviews.
• More persuasive presentation skills.

Put simply, a major differentiator for successful communicators is their vocabulary!

SAT E-Tutor offers 60 words in 6 weeks for $60. Monday through Friday, students get 2 words, 2 definitions, 2 sample sentences and 2 exercises in their email boxes. As a FREE bonus, you get the words and their definitions texted directly to the student's cell phone.

60 New Words 6 Weeks $60

My son scored a perfect 800 on the verbal part of the SAT a couple of years ago. I wasn't surprised as he has been an avid reader since second grade. My middle child, however, does not have his same level of vocabulary.

In trying to help her prepare for the SAT in January, I developed an e-tutor program for the SAT, verbal section. This is what I'm sharing with you:

In 6 weeks, your child will learn 60 new words from the SAT preparatory book through interactive emails with me. My expertise is communication, and I have enjoyed teaching children and young adults superior language skills since 1997. I've taught at the university level, in private schools and I even home-schooled my children for several years.

To put it simply, to score extremely well on the verbal part of the SAT, your child needs to command an extensive vocabulary. Unless he or she reads several books a week, as my son used to do (and still does,) he or she probably could use some help in this.

To pay for one hour of SAT tutoring, you'll need to pay at least $40 plus the time, gasoline, wear and tear on your car.

With SAT E-Tutor, your child gets 2 new words a day delivered to his email address. I send each student 2 words, 2 definitions, and 2 exercises.
