THE NEW SAT AND BEYOND
Grammar and essay writing skills have always been important to universities, employers and publishers; now they are also essential for success with the new SAT exam.

WRITE LIKE A PRO
As an Improve Your English student, you will receive both formal lessons in grammar and writing instruction based on the problems of your own essays. You will learn to use Strunk and White's The Elements of Style as your "bible" for accurate and effective expression of your ideas.

STRUNK AND WHITE EXPLAINED
Most professional writers and editors keep Strunk and White within easy reach. The Elements of Style, however, is beyond the reach of many would-be students and beginning writers. They lack the necessary grammatical background to apply all of its briefly-stated rules to their own work. Our teaching methods and proprietary materials help you get the most from Strunk and White.

ENGLISH LESSONS FOR LIFE
Whatever your age or level, your writing, vocabulary, and reading comprehension will improve with individual instruction--and practice. The New SAT includes a 25-minute handwritten essay, which counts for 30% of the writing score. The other 70%, or 560 of 800 total points, comes from multiple choice questions about grammar and the conventions of standard written English. Whether you are a student or an adult, you need to master the basic English skills tested by the SAT.
