The Economist
No company can match the sophisticated level of teaching Academic Approach provides, and that's precisely why our collaboration with The Economist makes so much sense.
We are the only test preparation and tutoring company in the country with this kind of partnership, an arrangement that demonstrates yet again our commitment to constantly advance and improve the way we teach our students. The responses we've received so far from parents and students alike regarding our association with The Economist have been phenomenal, and it's not hard to understand why.
Frequent reading is the best way to improve reading speed, reading comprehension, and critical thinking skills—especially on the SAT and ACT. The Economist's top-quality writing helps students develop their understanding of grammar, punctuation, logic, and style. In addition, standardized tests regularly present the kind of challenging and unfamiliar content that our students read in The Economist, making the inclusion of the magazine in our SAT and ACT courses an enormous benefit.
Our instructors use The Economist's articles during one-on-one tutoring sessions while our online course includes reading passages from the magazine. Everything from our SAT & ACT reading exercises to our full-length practice SAT exams features challenging content taken directly from the magazine.
The thinking is simple: if our students can read, interpret, and truly understand articles from The Economist, they will have little trouble conquering standardized tests.
