Why do KIDS enjoy our courses so much?

score2400™'s Unique Approach

The SAT is a reasoning test that rewards students who are skilled at problem-solving. Problem-solving is only possible if a student is:

  1. motivated, and
  2. can appreciate the relevance of the problem to their daily life.

Here's where we come in!

The score2400 method connects with kids' real life concerns - social relationships, obtaining what they want in life, and getting their needs met.

Many parents marvel that their kid can spend 10 straight hours mastering Grand Theft Auto IV, or surfing mySpace and Facebook, while it's an epic struggle for them to concentrate for 5 minutes on homework. They wonder: how can my son or daughter not realize academic success is far more vital to his or her future prospects than a video game?

Some SAT prep courses treat the SAT as a game - and teach shortcuts for "success" - tips and tricks to "beat" the test. Such guess-and-check methods may improve scores somewhat, but students don't gain an understanding of how to use their brains to solve problems. These quick-and-dirty methods don't last for the test, because they don't last in life.

Still other programs take a "boot camp" approach - indoctrinating students with drills, memorization, and rote formulas. This can be effective, but only for those students already motivated to achieve in this way. Most kids don't gain by such methods because this drudgery is too abstract and disconnected from their immediate existence.

score2400™ is different. We speak in terms that are immediate, relevant, and vital to a high-schooler's social interests: popularity, material success, independence, and quality friendships.

What KIDS
say about us:

"What I liked about this course was that you could speak freely without having the teacher react condescendingly. You let people speak their minds even if they didn't have the 'correct' answer and you helped guide us to the answer without embarrassing us... I would have enjoyed attending the class for another month if you were the teacher. I've never experienced the kind of open discussions we had..."
G.R., Little Neck, N.Y.

"First I would like to thank you for teaching me how to improve on the SAT, since that was the point of the class. But mainly I would like to thank you because you allowed me to see life and academics from a totally different perspective. I would also like to inform you that the discussion about the skills we would need in life really impacted me. I love the way you taught us...Your class has really changed my life."
M.L., Bayside, N.Y.
