About

Want to boost your SAT Reading and Writing confidence and improve your test-day performance? Join this weekly group every Saturday for in-depth, interactive lessons led by a 1500+ scorer.

Each session focuses on the exact question types and skills tested by the College Board. We’ll cover questions relating to grammar rules, punctuation, rhetorical synthesis, and words in context through the SAT English subsections of Information and Idea, Expression of Ideas, Standard English Conventions, and Craft and Structure.

Do you abhor the English section? Feel like words like benevolent and ubiquitous belong in another language? Or like Shakespeare is speaking a whole different language? Or frustrated when you have to choose the “best” evidence, but all the options seem right? You’re not alone.

No matter your experience level, this group is designed to meet you where you are, help you improve effectively, and build your confidence.

Hi, I’m Matthew – welcome to my profile! I run comprehensive SAT and AP prep courses designed to help students at every level build confidence and achieve their goals. I serve as a Senior Tutor in the SAT Prep Subworld, and I place highly on tutoring leaderboards in SAT Prep, History and the whole platform. I’ve guided students to SAT scores in the 1400s and 1500s, and I focus on creating clear, structured study plans that make test prep feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Outside of tutoring, I play baseball, support the Chicago Cubs and Bears, and play video games. I’m also involved in BPA, Debate, YMSL, NHS, and Mu Alpha Theta/Math Honors Society. I get a lot of questions about my course offerings, so here is an overview. My Master SAT Math courses meet once weekly, and I offer two day and time options with identical sessions. My Excel in SAT English courses follow the same structure, with one weekly session and two day and time options. I also offer SAT Math Accelerator and SAT English Accelerator courses, which meet twice weekly with unique sessions and include review game sessions. Since the Master SAT Math and Excel in SAT English each have two identical courses/sessions with different meeting time/days, I don’t recommend attending both options (two of math or two of english) in the same week, as you’d simply repeat the content. If you want more sessions for math and/or english each week, you can combine the Master and/or Excel courses with Accelerator course(s) covering different material. In total, I host three unique SAT math sessions (one Master and two Accelerator) and three unique SAT English sessions each week (one Excel and two Accelerator). I try to schedule my SAT courses on different days and times so that students can find one that works with their schedules. If one of my courses doesn’t fit your availability, another one of my sessions might, and if not, I can happily recommend other excellent tutors on this platform. I also host AP U.S. Government and Comparative Government and Politics courses. These sessions are helpful for students taking the classes, self-studiers, or anyone who wants to better understand government and political science. As a bonus, you might even gain the knowledge to outwit that one friend or family member... Feel free to reach out anytime if you have questions!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
