We’ve all experienced that situation: sitting at a desk, feeling lost as we try to learn something new. Try asking questions. Even in a distanced classroom, your teachers are still there to help you. Engage with them! Ask questions in their live sessions and utilize hours they set aside for individual meetings and emails. Make it your goal to truly learn in this season, not just get by. If you need a selfish reason to engage, remember (if you’re in high school): these are the people who will be writing your letters of recommendation for your college applications. Give them something great to say.

That’s why, when we help our students prepare for college admission testing, we teach more than testing skills. We encourage our students to grow as students.
