Our Site Coordinator, Matt, is looking ahead to Lana’s amazing offerings for test prep in the 2024-25 school year.
This year, I have the pleasure of managing operations for Lana’s Standardized Test Prep Programs in Washington, DC. I look forward to lending my experiences as a Site Coordinator for Lana’s 21st CCLC Program, as well as my several years of classroom teaching expertise to this program. Through conducting successful Professional Development Sessions for DCPS as well as Cesar Chavez PCS, the year is off to an excellent start.
Lana’s Offerings
Lana proudly offers individual, small group, and full-class tutoring for both the SAT and ACT. Additionally, we offer Professional Development to teachers and staff for preparing students for the SAT and ACT. With over 10 partner schools, 90 teachers, and 1,000 students served since 2010, Lana’s Standardized Test Prep program is refined and ready to meet the needs of all partners. We are proud to announce that we have launched a new program with the United Planning Organization (UPO), where we will be training students for the SAT. This training will incorporate Lana’s advanced curriculum for the digital SAT.
Modernized Curriculum in a Digital Age
Now that the SAT is administered digitally, test prep programs need to go beyond pen and paper. Lana’s curriculum is up-to-date not only with content that matches the College Board’s new standards, but with test-taking strategies specifically designed for digital exams. Lana offers hands-on training for students and teachers, through which participants master Bluebook, the SAT administration software. By understanding Bluebook, students maximize their potential score on the digital SAT.
Looking Ahead
I am very much looking forward to the year ahead for Lana’s Standardized Test Prep Programs. As a veteran teacher and SAT/ACT Tutor, I am excited to be providing direct services to our partners. I am confident that my experience in tandem with Lana’s excellence in academic programming will lead to a productive, successful school year.
