About

Hello! My name is Oz, and this is the second SAT Bootcamp I've hosted. I strive to create inclusive and fun sessions that are always learner-driven. I want learners to enjoy engaging with class material, and I prioritize thoughtful student-led discussions over lectures. In this particular Bootcamp, we will tackle the Reading and Writing section of the SAT, reviewing practice tests and revising skills through targeted exercises. I know preparing for the SAT can feel daunting and tiresome, but I will work to ensure that our classes are not only helpful but also genuinely fun and engaging. :)

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.

Hii! I'm a high school student going into 12th grade this fall. I'm certified to tutor all of Pre-Algebra and various topics in Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, and Trigonometry. Although I'm not certified yet, I'm also relatively well-versed in Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus AB. I live in Washington State, and in my free time, I enjoy watching movies, reading dystopian lit, and walking my dog!

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.
