About

Hello,﻿ my name is Shayla, and as an SAT Bootcamps Reading and Writing tutor I hope to help you improve your reading comprehension skills. This will help you to then develop strategies to pull important information and evidence from the text to help you answer each question to the best of your ability. These stronger comprehension skills will also lend to understanding the nuances of language and sentence structure which will be a great tool if you struggle with grammar and word choice problems.  I look forward to learning with you :)

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.
