Navigating a written piece involves encountering self-explanatory or familiar words (keywords), as well as terms that slip by unnoticed, but nonetheless play a crucial role.

Reading keywords alone enables the reader to grasp the gist of the subject, but not to understand the exact point the text is making.

This is akin to seeing the vehicles but failing to perceive the traffic flow, or the highway itself. The highway (the “direction” the text is heading) is sign-posted by words that tend to “slip by.” It is precisely these terms, however, that enable us to make sense of the road.

Our science reading skills training program will help you learn to find your bearings in an English-language text and navigate it in detail from start to finish, without getting waylaid or losing sight of its full meaning.

A compact program (10 to 20 sessions) with instant results for Portuguese or Spanish speakers seeking to improve reading skills in English for academic purposes or professional practice.

An especially effective training program for admission exams for entry onto graduate programs and as pre-training for proficiency exams such as the TOEFL and the IELTS.
