Description

In this workshop, we will spend 2 days going through the 9 types of questions on the CogAT test. Verbal (Sentence Completion, Analogies, Classification), Non-Verbal (Paper Folding, Analogies, Classification), and Quantitative (Number Puzzles, Analogies, Number Series).

The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) is an effective and empirically validated testing instrument for gifted and talented identification criteria used by school districts across the nation. Our instructors have prepared dynamic and engaging learning experiences to help your student unlock their full potential in order to be successful on test day.

We firmly believe that an investment in our CogAT test prep course will be an investment in your child’s cognitive development that will pay off for years to come. In this course, students will work with our instructors to practice specific approaches to each test question type and build testing confidence through targeted practice activities. Students will study the principles of handling each type of question, they will get tips and strategies to help them answer different question types, and they will work through plenty of practice questions so they will know just what to expect when taking the actual test. Our instructors have thousands of hours of experience guiding students to CogAT mastery.

Instructor Bio:

Hi, I'm Mr. Hinton, I have taught children from the early age of 2 years old to 18 years of age. I really enjoy learning about what kids like to do and what motivates them. I know all children want to do well on a test, but it is also good to build rapport with them. I will sometimes use rewards for younger kids and have some fun conversations. Sometimes I use props like comics, movies, animals, Marvel, and Hello Kitty!

Educational Background, Degrees, Licenses:

Master of Science - Sports and Fitness Administration
Master of Arts - History
Bachelor of Arts - History
Certified - American Red Cross Professional Rescuer - CPR/AED/First Aid

Favorite Quote:

“Make mistakes. Move forward and learn from them!”

Fun Fact:

I finished two master’s degrees in 3 years.

Judith says:

I noticed that my son was engaged in the class. I like the way he rotates the children to participate by asking questions and asking them to read. James does not embarrass kids when they do not know the answer. Instead, he guides them with the right thinking. He simply said that it is ok. The teacher is nice and friendly. Highly recommend teachers like James where they can relate and engage well with students.
