For the past 25 years, I have been working with high school students in the rough neighborhood.  I found out the hard way how to prepare students not just for their studies in English class, but also for all of the exams they have to deal with on the way.  Here I am sharing all the things I've learned on the Instructor side of things.  The methods, knowledge and techniques that have worked - some of them in trying circumstances, are here for you.
