Local tutor, Martha Gilbert will offer hands-on essay workshops on October 30, November 1 or November 29 for students who will be taking the SAT this fall. Students will learn strategies to write an effective essay, from the zinger of an introductory sentence, the art of brainstorming, and mechanics to writing a powerful and impressive conclusion. During each evening, students will have an opportunity to experience a timed practice on writing an effective essay and will get feedback on their essays. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to work in a small group to improve this important skill.
