About

Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm so excited to help you prepare for the Reading and Writing portion of the SAT!
﻿
This four-week tutoring series will help you prepare for your upcoming SAT in Reading & Writing. 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.

Hey there, I'm Sarah!! I'm certified in most topics on Schoolhouse, but I'm especially experienced with SAT RW and Math, Calculus (I scored a 5 on the AP Calc BC exam and am currently taking Multivariable Calculus), and Algebra 2. I also chaired for the last two Schoolhouse MUNs! I'm a high school senior in Tennessee, and I love music. I play both the piano and the violin, but I also love to listen to a wide array of music (some of my favorites are SOS by Balming Tiger and Kollage by Carly Rae Jepsen). My other passions are figure skating, fashion, the environment, math, and law, to name a few.
