Produktbeschreibung
An itinerant SAT and ACT tutor, Kreigh Knerr has worked with students from the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee to Santa Monica beach. Although he takes on new clients almost exclusively by referral, he has helped thousands of students worldwide. Kreigh is a national figure in the slow reading movement, and his invitation-only summer reading seminar sends students to some of the most prestigious universities and honors programs in the country. To share his expertise and training more broadly, Kreigh created his test prep apps, QuotEd Reading Comprehension and QuotEd ACT Science, so that self-studiers everywhere can have access to elite test prep wherever and whenever they have their phones. His apps are used by schools, other tutors, and individuals studying worldwide. Kreigh is also a board member of App Ed Review, "The Leading Authority on Educational Apps." As an exposé on what a test prep program for the 1% looks like, Tips from the Top offers students the elite insights that only a true industry insider can provide. Rather than simply repeating the same mantras and "secrets" that can be found anywhere, Kreigh opens the door to the privately-designed study programs that make him one of the most sought-after tutors in the world.
Autorenporträt
Kreigh Knerr once had a student investigated by the ACT and NCAA for cheating because that student's ACT scores had jumped from a composite score of 12 to a composite of 22. Although the ACT accused the student of cheating, the student had not in fact cheated. Kreigh wrote a swift defense of his student, and in light of that defense the NCAA ruled in favor of Kreigh's student, not the ACT. After that experience, Kreigh has viewed the standardized test makers with a distrustful eye, one they continue to earn. At least half of Kreigh's students misspell or mispronounce his name. One time, a school scuffle nearly broke out among his students because their debate over his name's pronunciation grew so fierce. In spite of the many difficulties with his name, he still has hundreds of new students sent to him by word-of-mouth every year, though he's never certain which name he'll be known by with each new student. To his students' great fortune, correct pronunciation of "Kreigh Knerr" is not necessary for a successful college application, although he sometimes wishes it were.
