About

Want to boost your SAT Reading and Writing confidence and improve your test-day performance? Join this weekly group every Monday 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.

Have questions about the course? Message me anytime through Schoolhouse or on the course page.
