As the CEO of Abelson Test Prep, I have captured my passion for teaching and learning into a unique instructional style that has been motivating my students for the past quarter of a century.
At Abelson Test Prep we emphasize understanding, not memorization, as we teach students to learn how to learn. My staff and I inspire students' intellectual curiosity with our personalized approach to education. Staff members include certified teachers, administrators and specialists.
I have developed a unique program for students with different learning styles and attention issues. My program, differentiated implementation incorporates academic coursework into an individual academic plan. Strategies include areas of memory retention, reading, comprehension, phonics, written expression, and math analysis. My educational philosophy is “Treat everyone differently in order to treat them the same."
To that end, Abelson Test Prep believes that smaller group interaction with differentiated instruction yields the best results.
