Dear students,

Please join us next week, May 18th, for Afternoons with Alice Part I: Secrets of the SAT.

Alice immigrated to Vancouver when she was 12 years old, and in a few short years, vastly improved her English ability. Last year, she achieved a perfect score of 2400 on the SAT. We got to know Alice, a student of York House School, when she completed an internship with us last summer.

Her effective study methods will help you challenge the new SAT. Alice will give you the rundown on what worked for her, and how to discipline your mind so that it will perform well on exam day.

Date: May 18th, 2015
Time: 2:00 pm － 4:00 pm
Location: 130-5611 Cooney Road, Richmond
Fee: $20/person. (Fee paid can be applied to Alice's SAT Vocabulary Memorization Class.)
Please call to reserve a seat. Only 20 seats available.

To our Spelling Bee participants,

We just want to thank you for registering to be part of our first annual regional Spelling Bee. We have never hosted a spelling bee before, so this is a new experience for us. We are very excited, and we hope to make this the best spelling bee contest possible! Thank you for your patience and support.

Below is a file detailing the basic dates for the spelling bee coaching, the deadline for registration, fees, and a volunteer registration form. As a volunteer, you will be a mentor to younger students by guiding them through the word learning process and offering encouragement. Younger students will greatly benefit from the kind words of an older brother or sister. As always, we are available by phone if you have any questions about the event!
