About

Hey guys, I'm Joey, and this year I'm a junior studying in Alberta, Canada. As someone who's went from scoring 700 to 780(over two tests) on the EBRW session through self-study, I'm really excited to share with you some of the techniques that helped me and help you through the SAT. I hope that you'll find me and my tips to be helpful! You'll (hopefully) come to learn that I'm very flexible, and will work to tailor my sessions to suit your needs, whatever they may be. Please don't hesitate bring your unique goals to these sessions, as they'll help me help you!

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.
