About

Hi, my name is Connor and I'm entering my last year of high school out in Washington state. Over the course of my high school experience, standardized testing has never been my best friend. However, I've managed to find a few tricks for myself that have "cracked" the puzzles of SAT and ACT examinations, and I hope to show you what I have learned. More importantly, I want to dedicate my time through my bootcamp to you, the learner. I see myself as a learner just as much as you, seeing as I'm also preparing myself for the October 2024 SAT. I hope that you can join me in this journey, and I can help you clear the clouds of SAT Reading and Writing through some of my personalized techniques I've garnished over my high school years. I have experience both as an employed tutor for Kumon and as an NHS officer. 
﻿
To me, tutoring is more nuanced than an online classroom setting. I want to make sure that through our learning, I not only help you achieve higher scores but also make the experience enjoyable and tailored to your unique learning style. We'll focus on breaking down challenging passages, identifying common traps, and mastering the art of time management—all while building your confidence. Whether you're just starting your test prep or looking to fine-tune your skills, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can turn these daunting exams into opportunities for success. 

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.
