About

Hi, my name is Emmy! I look forward to helping all of you with the Reading and Writing portion of the SAT. Throughout our sessions I plan to go through practice tests and focus in on the areas you feel like you could use the most help in. 

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.

Hi! I am an incoming senior in California. Outside of school hours I work with kids ages 2-8 at a local daycare and volunteer with local arts organizations. I enjoy the beach, hanging out with my friends, and listening to music! I hope to help people with SAT prep and prepare myself for the upcoming year and future.

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.
