Co-Lead a classroom of Test Prep Instructors as they guide students through a structured weekly Kaplan curriculum that helps elevate their PSAT and SAT/ACT scores by teaching core concepts and standardized test tricks/tips and administering practice exams.
Time Commitment: 3-4 hours per week from September through June, including approximately three Saturday sessions per month from 10:00am-12:00pm.
More detail: Develop and lead the curriculum geared towards preparing a group of high-achieving, low-income High School Juniors from the greater Seattle Area. Test Prep Program sessions take place approximately three Saturdays per month for two hours (10:00am-12:00pm) from August through May at a central Seattle Location. In an almost 1:1 ratio test prep instructors administer a diagnostic exam, split the students up into two or three groups based on ability, teach core concepts and standardized test tricks/tips to the students, and administer several additional practice exams throughout the "semester."

Mission Statement
Minds Matter connects driven and determined students from low-income families with the people, preparation, and possibilities to succeed in college, create their future, and change the world.
Description
Minds Matter mentees are low-income, high-potential high school students. Each mentee is paired with two dedicated, college-educated mentors, who provide personalized, ongoing support over the course of three years, starting the mentee’s sophomore year. Every non-holiday Saturday during the school year, mentees attend four-hour sessions. In the mornings, test prep and writing and critical thinking instructors guide them through standardized test prep and instruction in how to write, think, and articulate themselves better. In the afternoons, the mentors arrive for two hours of mentoring, bonding, "what’s going on in the world" discussions, the "great debate" series, planning of classes and extracurricular activities, summer program and financial aid applications, college preparation, and other enrichment, college readiness, and mentoring activities. Over the summers, mentees attend academic, cultural, or leadership programs throughout the United States and the world, all funded by Minds Matter.
We will be serving students for the 2023-2024 school year in-person to prioritize student and volunteer safety and comfort.
