About

Hello! I’m here to help you prepare for the R&W section of the SAT. I’ve tutored both sections before and believe that it’s very possible for learners to increase their scores from peer tutoring/learning, especially in R&W. I (and other tutors) try my best to host engaging and productive sessions, so please be ready to participate. Hope to see you!
﻿
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.

Hi, I'm Shaum. I like a lot of things, including the sciences, mathematics, and art. In particular, I'm fascinated by computer science, but my real passion is astrophysics, which I hope to study someday to unlock the secrets of the universe. I also like classical music, and I play the violin and piano. I love particularly love reading classical literature and science topics I am interested in, among other genres. My first language is English, but I can also speak Bengali to a certain extent and I'm learning French.
