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’m a high school senior from Illinois (US), and I run weekly SAT and AP prep courses designed to help students of all starting levels reach their goals. Outside of tutoring, I play baseball, support the Chicago Cubs and Bears, play video games and participate in extracurriculars including BPA, Debate, YMSL, NHS, Mu Alpha Theta, and various local volunteer organizations. This document gives the schedule of my courses, their descriptions, and explains how to navigate my many (especially SAT) courses that sound and look similar in order to hopefully find you your best course fit(s) and understand the differences between my courses. https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQ4QjBxTVWc6ZYf5ADZ1qKGPbRU_eJn7EERZ7t5UhHUFSIh-QV8VQ-JzjHRjm1kVAZqNOyDlyklIcOp/pub I also made this list of free SAT materials that I recommend trying! https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS7iztppWzb7ApGPobfnxQIzp2oVgcnnMKYCaBEYUHU0oK-y3X-gAa-UY78vRv6dzApjWnaQ0iOSMhX/pub Questions?
