2/11/17 FREE biology-prep seminar: How to navigate biology classes, competitions, and exams to best achieve your goals

 

“How can I best help my child pursue his interest in biology?”

“My child has so much potential!  How should I direct her?”

“I hear that next year’s biology teacher is really tough.  How can I help my child prepare?”

“This biology teacher is useless! How can I help my child keep learning?”

“My child isn’t interested in being a doctor, so why does his school require that he take this class?”

“My child works hard but keeps failing the tests--how can I help her improve?”

The number of classes and activities available to our students is enormous. As parents, we want our kids to work hard and achieve their potential, without becoming overwhelmed, discouraged, or burned out.

This seminar will help:

  • What do colleges look for in a science, pre-med, or biology major?

  • CLASSES: Regular biology, honors biology, and AP biology classes

    • Strategy and tips for success

  • EXAMS: SAT II biology, AP Biology, and USABO:

    • Challenges and benefits

    • Strategy and tips for success
