The Cambridge Network

College Prep Language and Culture (CPLC)

The College Prep Language and Culture (CPLC) is an English as a second language based program that combines courses covering language sills, high school readiness, cultural skills, online test preparation, and writing workshops. It is an innovative program designed by international education with content and assessments based on ACTFL Worlds Language Readiness Standards.

Schools with a large number of students often offer CPLC program onsite. Similar to a standard class setting, international students with different English language proficiency levels work closely with a teacher to practice and improve their skills.

In the case of schools with fewer students in The Cambridge Network program, it’s likely that the academic services will be offered online, through a live and interactive interface. The online program teaches skills appropriate for each grade level and can be accessed via any standard, internet-connected device and in any location. Students benefit from interactive tools that enhance the learning experience, and get recordings of lessons to replay later.

Subject Tutoring

Improving Educational Outcomes

Cambridge Academic Services delivers ongoing academic support to help students achieve their full potential. We are committed to offering personalized instruction and encouragement that gives students the necessary skills to thrive academically and socially in high school and beyond.

Tutoring Program

One-on-one tutoring from our qualified instructors is perfect for helping students who may need additional support with the transition to their American high school’s curriculum. During the first session, the tutor evaluates the student’s strengths and weaknesses to create a customized tutoring plan.

Our qualified tutors challenge students’ critical thinking, text analysis, test taking, and writing skills across disciplines, ensuring they stay competitive in the college admissions process and are well-prepared for higher education. When a student receives tutoring in a non-English subject (i.e. chemistry, history, or mathematics), our tutors also work to enhance the student’s ability to express content ideas in English. This gives students confidence to participate in classroom discussions which are a vital aspect of American classroom culture and affect student grades significantly in every subject.

Students work with their tutors via our online platform, allowing for flexibility in scheduling and location. Our experienced tutors have access to the newest technology on interactive tools that enhance the standard classroom experience. Additionally, students have access to recordings that they can replay to help retain the knowledge.
