About

Hi! My name is Melissa and I’m a senior in high school! I have tutored in SAT Reading & Writing previously and I’m very excited to jump back into it. Throughout my course, we’ll go over both parts of the first half of the SAT. I’m someone that’s very invested in your learning process with my priority being to assure that you all have a masterful grasp on the material along with an assurance in yourself and your capabilities and making sure that crucial confidence is there on test day!

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.

Outside of all the school stuff, I love watching movies, reading books, and baking.
