ENGLISH TUTORING

Master the English Language

Most students don’t realize how instrumental a solid English foundation is to their academic careers. At Hillview Prep, our skills-based curriculum provides some of the most crucial tools needed to understand the English language at a deeper level. Our renowned English program teaches some of the most unique and efficient and writing strategies that allow our students to excel in their classes.

Learn Faster Reading Comprehension

Develop Better Writing Skills

Understand Literature Deeper

Faster Reading Comprehension

Do you consider yourself a slow reader? Perhaps you see yourself as a fast reader, but have trouble understanding context? Regardless of where you stand, we have been teaching our students one of the most unique and effective reading comprehension methods developed. Our strategies focus on efficient reading and methodical self-awareness that allows each student to take control the context in order to have deeper understanding of what he or she is reading.

Better Writing Skills

Why do so many students struggle with writing? What we have noticed is that students have traditionally been taught to write with rules and parameters, impeding on their ability to structure and develop an authentic, compelling piece of writing. At Hillview Prep, our writing tutors inspire our students to find their voices, and at the same time learn structuring strategies that allow them to efficiently develop context in a well-formed, artistic manner.

A Deeper Understanding of Literature

To many students, literature may seem like a strenuous subject, presenting them with complex language, elements, and a lot of context. However, English literature is historical and artistic. At Hillview Prep, we teach our students the deeper meaning of English literature and why it is so important to our culture.

What Our Students Say…

    
 
 
       Referred a family friend to Hillview Prep for their SAT prep and they were VERY happy with their results. Ken and his team are very smart and incredibly knowledgable about both the subject matter and the tests themselves. With the highly competitive nature of admissions these days, I would highly suggest working with Hillview to give your children the best opportunity to be accepted in to their top school.

      Ken did an amazing job preparing my son for the HSPT.  Due to a mistake on our part we didn't reach out to Hillview Prep until a few weeks ahead of the test.  Ken was willing to squeeze in the entire course into a few weeks for my son.  My son received a great score on the HSPT and was admitted to both Mitty and Bellarmine.  I know his test score was a direct result of the tutoring he received at Hillview.

      Ken is an amazing teacher, and will prepare his students for any standardized test. Furthermore he’s a nice guy who can help high school students map out their plans for college.

      My son attended Hillview Prep to prepare for the HSPT. He has always had some level of test anxiety and even more so with a test as important as the HSPT.  Over the course of two weeks and a couple weekends my son gained the knowledge and confidence he needed to take the HSPT and do very well. His prelim assessment test at Hillview Prep set the strategy and schedule for the next 2 two weeks, and they went to work. Over the course of the two weeks Ken was able to teach my son a new way of approaching test taking that reduced his anxiety of running out of time. The result was a huge increase in his math and comprehension scores from where they started, and acceptance into his two top school choices and his back up choice. As a side benefit the techniques Ken taught my son also carried over to regular school work as well. Ken is an exceptional educator and I look forward to working with him again as my son progresses through high school and eventually the PSAT, SAT and ACT. I highly recommend Hillview Prep above any other teaching establishment, their approach to teaching, learning skills, time management and information retention is second to none and their ability to accommodate busy schedules is a blessing.

      Hillview Prep is the only tutoring service we will use. Ken & his team are excellent tutors.  My kids have gone there for help with algebra, chem & biology as well as test prep.  They tried two other places before finding Hillview; both were unsatisfactory in different ways. One simply had tutors who could not teach and the other was outrageously overpriced having doubled the price of their services in less than a year.
