“How One College Evaluates a Transcript”

Zehr, Mary Ann. “Bill Would Replace Key Federal Literacy Programs” The New York Times. October 29, 2009.

“We had long known how inextricably linked literacy is to high school success…”

In the fall of 2007, A-List partnered with Graham Windham (GW) to launch a six-year Scholars Program, the objective of which is to enable foster youth to succeed in high school and in college.

The Graham Windham students, who began the program as high school juniors, have set individualized academic goals with the assistance of a staff member and attend weekly tutoring sessions. Seeing GW students on such a consistent basis has been a pleasure for A-List, and has allowed us to monitor their progress in working toward their academic objectives.

Our Graham Windham students are currently actively engaged in the college admissions process—preparing to take their SATs again, and getting their college applications ready for submission. A-List is extremely proud of our Graham Windham students’ commitment, and we look forward to offering them our continued support and helping them to realize their educational goals.

At A-List, we take pride in the good relationships that we develop with our clients. While our objective is to raise test scores, we also aim to create an overall positive learning experience.

A-List would like to thank  Jill Holland for her kind words about one of our wonderful tutors, Gary Surman. We’d like to share her thoughts with you below:

Hi.  I hope the right person gets this email.  I just want to commend one of your instructors for being so great, so professional, so respectful and so attentive.  Gary Surman has been tutoring my daughter for the SAT test since August.  In that time, he has never missed a class and has never even been late.  In fact, on many occasions, he stays well past the hour because they’re still working.  My daughter thinks he’s a great teacher and she has an easy time listening to him instruct and understanding him.  I can’t tell you how much of a difference this will make in her score, but I can tell you that my husband and I believe he has helped a lot and, while the fee was a sacrifice for us, we don’t regret a cent of it.

Thanks for sending such a nice, young man to our home to help prepare our daughter for the SAT.

Sincerely,

Jill Holland
