Seacoast College Prep & Tutoring Sets Spring Schedule

By Ann Jollimore, Senior Writer

Competition to America’s top-tier higher education institutions is at an all-time high. Every year, thousands of students with high grade point averages and test scores are not accepted into the colleges and universities of their choice. Responding to this growing trend, a Seacoast company has opened its doors for a third season to give area high-school students a leg up in the college admissions process.

The Seacoast College Prep & Tutoring Center has announced its spring offerings in educational enrichment courses, SAT prep, and supplemental coaching and tutoring services. Courses for the spring include test preparation for the May 1 and June 5 SAT tests.

Classes will meet for four weeks and will be offered at three times, Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:15-8:30 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:15-8:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 7:30-10 a.m. Preparation for the May 1 test will begin on April 3. Preparation for the June 5 test will begin May 8. Courses will be divided into eight one-hour and 15-minute sessions that prepare students for every aspect of the SAT test. Tuition for the SAT prep course is $395 and includes all SAT preparation materials.

In addition to its SAT classes, the Center will be offering three enrichment courses for the spring:

• “Creative Writing, The Dubliners: Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett,” Saturdays, April 3 to May 22, 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
• “de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America,” Saturdays, April 3 to May 22, 1-3 p.m.
• "The American Romantics: Hawthorne, Emerson, and Thoreau”: Saturdays, May 1 to June 5, 3:30-5:30 p.m.

Tuition for enrichment courses is $295 and includes all texts for required readings. If you are interested in registering for any of their classes or services, you can contact the Center at (603) 868-6393 or via e-mail at registration@top-tier.info.
