About

Hi, I'm Teddy. I am very excited to help everyone with the SAT, a studying process that I understand can seem challenging. I hope to make that preparation a little bit easier with my bootcamp. I understand that the reading section can be hard- it seems daunting, getting to Module 2 of the R&W section of the SAT and feeling that time crunch, but I hope I can help you guys through it. I'm so excited to tutor you guys this month!

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.

Hello! I am a high school student interested in science and film. I am super excited to help everyone conquer the SAT this year! My profile picture is from the film Porco Rosso (1992). The film features a fighter pilot pig, voiced by famous actor Michael Keaton, who engages in dogfights with seaplane pirates while evading fascist Italy. I am interested in tutoring because I want to help others navigate a key aspect of their college application (standardized tests), in a more friendly, less intense way. As someone who ended up improving from a 1460 to a 1560 in only a month between the August and October SAT, I'm super excited to help others achieve similar score leaps. I have also taken 4 AP tests already and gotten 5s on all of them, those being AP Chem, AP World History - Modern, AP Computer Science Principles and AP Precalculus.
