About

Hello, I'm Bryan and I am super excited to help you prepare for your SAT! During this course, we will cover some helpful SAT testing tips and strategies, cover the major topics within the R&W section of the SAT, and more. See you there!
﻿
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.

Hello! My name is Bryan and I am currently a Junior from the Midwest. I love working through difficult math problems, researching and learning in different fields of science (like physics and astronomy), and more! At my school, I enjoy acting, singing, and playing piano. I currently am involved with my school choir, and when I can, I love singing opera. To date, I think that I have sung in English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Russian. I am also trying to master the French language. At home, I also enjoy cooking and baking breads, cookies, cakes, pies, and more. My biggest failure in the kitchen was when I burned a bowl full of chocolate in the microwave! I won't be doing that again :)
