About

Hi everyone! I’m Monica and I am a Junior from Florida. I am so excited to help you all the best I can with prepping for the SAT! Just a tad bit about me: I am the president of HOSA and i’m in lots of clubs like SNHS, NHS, captain of the robotics team, Interact, Link Crew. I’m in AP Capstone, a medical magnet program, I mentor elementary schoolers and middle schoolers, and I am an active member in a community leadership group.

This four-week tutoring series will help you prepare for your upcoming SAT in both Reading and Writing & Language. By the end of the series, you will have completed multiple practice tests and worked through a number of problems from previous SATs, helping you build confidence for your upcoming exam. You’ll spend each session with me and a small group of other learners who are also working towards taking the SAT. Since it’s a small group, you can expect sessions to be very interactive as you work together towards improving your SAT skills as much as you can! Note: Cameras should be on so we can all get to know each other! If you have a specific reason why you can’t have your camera on, please notify me ahead of time.

Hello! I’m a Senior from Florida. Currently, I am the president of a local HOSA chapter and captain of our local FIRST robotics team. I enjoy participating in other extracurricular clubs such as SNHS and NHS. I am both a member of AP Capstone and a medical magnet program. As an active mentor to both elementary and middle school students, I firmly believe in the value of peer assistance. From my experience at Girls State and local community based leadership groups, I believe I have the skills to assist those I can in the best way I possibly can. I am here both to tutor for enrichment activities and provide SAT prep and assistance, as I've scored over 700 for each individual category. I look forward to working with you :)
