About

R&W is tough, but that doesn't mean you can't do well! I'm Sanjay (high school junior) and I'll be tutoring this R&W bootcamp for the May 2024 SAT. I have taken the June 2023 SAT, 2 paper PSATs and a digital PSAT. During our eight sessions, we will cover evidence-based reading, grammar and conventions of Standard English, and how to approach the SAT as it goes fully digital. Looking forward to see what we can achieve together 💪

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.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session.

If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.

About the Tutor

Hi, my name is Sanjay, and I am a high school senior in NJ excited about engineering! I joined Schoolhouse to give and receive help on a variety of topics, from SAT prep to Physics to Calculus. In my freetime, I enjoy making art and watching YouTube. "The school I envision would embrace technology not for its own sake, but as a means to improve deep conceptual understanding, to make quality, relevant education far more portable, and— somewhat counterintuitively—to humanize the classroom." - Sal Khan, The One World Schoolhouse
