About

Greetings there! My name is Owen and I will be your personal SAT reading and writing tutor. As someone who has a strong passion for language arts, I can guarantee an engaging and comprehensive tutoring experience that will cater to any of your specific needs and learning styles. Additionally, this course will not only prepare you academically for the SAT, but mentally as well, making sure you have the proper mindset needed to excel in the SAT. 

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.
