发帖数: 980 | 1 Do you need to prepare for the GRE，GMAT，LSAT，SAT tests?
Do you want to double your reading speed so that you could learn faster and
work more efficiently?
Do you want to hone your writing skills and become an innovative and
convincing writer for work or study?
As a Ph.D. candidate (fourth year) of New York University (GPA 3.9) ,with
near perfect scores on the GRE(Verbal 710,98%), over 11 years of teaching
experience and a strong publication record, I am offering lessons on the
following subjects online or face-to-face in New York city:
1.Speed reading and critical reading
2.Academic writing (term papers and theses)
3.Writing admission application essays (e.g. personal statements) for
graduate schools and colleges
4.Writing grant proposals
5.Translation/interpreting and
6. GRE，GMAT，LSAT，SAT,TOEFL preparation
I. Speed reading skills can be widely used in
1.various standardized tests such as the GRE，GMAT，LSAT，SAT,TOEFL…etc.,
in which the time limit is a major concern for the test takers;
2. office work demanding fast reading of large amount of materials on a
daily basis;and
3. daily reading assignments of bachelor’s and master’s students.
The speed reading lessons aim to:
1.get rid of some of your bad reading habits such as fixation, regression,
and auditory reassurance (saying words in the head);
2. improve substantially the outcome of reading, namely, reading
comprehension and retention through top-down processing and other effective
techniques;and
3. double your reading speed in about three weeks.
II. Academic writing skills can be widely used in test taking, office work,
and school work (from high school to graduate school)
The academic writing lessons will cover such topics as:
brainstorming, freewriting, content development, organization, outlining,
drafting,thesis statement, topic sentences, introduction, conclusion,
critical thinking, using synonyms, sentence structure and variation,grammar,
word choice, how to conduct research online and in the library, and
documenting sources in APA or MAL format.
