Message from the Supervisor

To our valued parent,

Every child has the potential to become an excellent student. More often
than not, those who perform well in academics have these three things:
purpose, discipline, and ability.

Eective pupils are set apart if they have a rooted sense of why they must
get good grades. Athens is the perfect study partner because we envision goals
for every child such as enhancement and gratitude for the privilege of education.
We help each student develop good habits including a positive attitude and a
willingness to learn new things.

Let us have the honor of equipping your child with the ability to become a
diligent student. Athens Tutorial and Review Center is an institution where only
top-notch supplementary education is provided for all students with the use of
our Four-Step HELP Study System. We guarantee that your child will learn,
grow, and become an achiever.

We want nothing but the best for your child. The center guarantees a low
student-teacher ratio, high quality service, and a personal touch. Take this
opportunity to let us be a part of your childs educational journey.

Sincerely yours,

Tricia Lao
Supervisor
Greenhills Branch

Package Details
Every Athens student is entitled to:

1. Comprehensive feedback letters addressed to the parent based on the childs

performance and attitude.

2. Saturday review sessions for major exams.

3. Individual consultations with the supervisor.

4. Supplementary worksheets that complement the childs current lesson.

5. A Student Planner that keeps a record of the academic marks and homework.

6. Recommendations for supplementary reading material to help the student with

lessons.

The Athens Four-Step HELP Study System

1.Homework

The student must answer all assignments first, these could be

worksheets or exercises that will be checked by teachers the next day.

2.Exams

Immediately after, priority must be given to the tests the child has for
tomorrow. If there is more than one quiz to prepare for, the subject that the
student struggles with the most will be the one taken up first.

3.Lessons

Even if the quiz is not to be given on the next day, upcoming exams
must be given importance so that the student will not have to cram or
have a crash course on the lesson the day before the exam.

4.Prepare

Lastly, the student must take up the lessons that have no given date
for a quiz yet. If the teacher has given a lecture then it must be reviewed in
the center. This is done in order for the student to be familiar with the
lesson long before the date of a quiz has been given. In the long run, this
will make things easier for the child once the exam is near.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many students (college entrance review) per class?

We have approximately 10-20. We limit the number of students in order for the class to
be quieter and so that the teacher could explain the lesson in a more focused manner.
Other centers will have 50-60 per class, and thus, the students just spend time
socializing and not studying.

2. How much is the barkada package promo?

If payment is made before the early bird deadline, the barkada package is P13,500 for
a group of six students. So that would be P81,000 in total, barkada must pay on the
same day.

If payment is made after the early bird deadline, the barkada package will be P15,000
for a group of 6, P90,000 in total. Barkada must pay on the same day.

3. What is your success rate?

From previous statistics, we have seen that 99% of the students have passed one of
the top three universities in the country.

4. What is your advantage over other centers?

Teacher Bryan personally handles the class. He spends June to March preparing each
individual lecture and worksheet. Instead of having a hired employee teach the class,
he personally does it because this is the flagship product of Athens. He will be handling
the math, science, english, and miscellaneous portions of the review class.
