About

While I have no intrinsic fear of math, the path to a 790 was not easy for me.

Digital SAT math is generally straightforward to improve just by practising (unlike RW); however, it is still important to have a system of approach for math, since the transition in difficulty from module 1 to module 2 (especially at the end of module 2) is quite jarring.

This program will offer you guidance in the following types of math problems.
Easy: steps to prevent careless mistakes and earn free points.
Medium: ways to abuse desmos to not waste time.
Hard: steps to PLAN OUT your math instead of brute-forcing it (and getting nowhere).

I am an SAT instructor, tutoring 30 students at my high school [1600 Project] and helping as a teaching assistant for a local SAT tutoring company at my high school. In addition, I am also tutoring for my middle school as a part of my high school's math club. Now with schoolhouse, I am excited for the opportunity to share my insights on reading comprehension (the biggie) and math with SchoolHouse. Current SAT: 1550; 760r+790m; Aug 24 US DSAT11 Before Prep: 1200; 580r+620m; Oct 23 US DPSAT11 First PSAT: 980; 490r+490m; Oct 21 US PSAT09
