About

Hello all! My name is Vanessa and I'm super excited to be tutoring again for the Reading and Writing section of the SATs. I am a strong believer that we are all capable of success, and I hope to help you reach it. I aim to tailor my bootcamp to everyone's individual needs. In order to do so, though, I expect my learners to be very vocal about what challenges them and ask many questions. If you want to join a community of those as passionate about learning as you, I look forward to seeing you in our first session!

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.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session.

If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

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.

About the Tutor

Hello! I'm joining Schoolhouse because I would love to be a part of a community that I can both give and receive help to and from. The subjects I am most confident in are language arts, world history, and pre-algebra. I love spending time with my family, going outside, and anything creative!
