​Applied Vocabulary and English Literature

Picture
Start date: September 3rd
Time: Every Sunday 5:30 - 7:00 pm
Format: Mostly online. In-person class can take place if needed and possible.

Course name: Applied Vocabulary and English Literature
Instructor's name: Mr. Michael Murphy

Focus of the course
​

1. One book per month
September: Death of the Salesman by Arthur Miller
October and November: Turn of the Screw by Henry James
December:  Animal Farm by George Orwell
​January 2003 : The Great Gatsby by  F. Scott Fitzgerald

It is very important that the students read a large proportion of the book before the start of the class. The book list can be adjusted based on the needs or interests of the students.

2. Vocabulary list of the month based on the book of the month and/or students' needs

3.   up to 4 take-home assignments a month:
A definition worksheet with a section for opinions on the story 
A journal that relates to our week 2 class discussion (and maybe uses x number of vocabulary words)
A piece of original writing related to our reading that incorporates the vocabulary 
A worksheet of vocabulary questions with a short section for feedback on class effectiveness

4. Occasional Essays based on the ACT Writing test, AP English Languages & Compositions FRQ, or AP English Literature & Compositions FRQ

​Fee : $170 per month


​​General Reading Writing

Every student’s vocabulary is different along with their cultural backgrounds. This makes it almost impossible for 8th to 10th grade English teachers to make sure all students know all the words needed, along with various nuances projected, and how to make use of it in the student’s own writing. This class at CLA seeks to fill the inevitable gaps in vocabulary, critical reading, and writing fundamentals with a small class that emphasizes on vocabulary lessons, critical analysis, and how to achieve clear and concise writing. 

​GRE Verbal & Writing

​Most GRE prep services in Pittsburgh requires the student you to spend half or more study time on the Quantitative section when usually it the section a student needs least help in. CLA offers a GRE program dedicated to the Verbal and Analytical Writing section for those who don’t need much as much help with Math. Come and see the difference.

General Tutoring​

​If you need broad academic help, we can provide a general tutoring that is optimized just for the student. The fee depends on the type of tutoring needed for each week, and can vary from $20 per hour for general math, science, and history and up to $70 per hour for in depth help with essays and literature.
