About

Hi, I'm Cas :) I'm a high school senior here to tutor students taking the December '22 SAT, specializing in reading and writing. I'm excited to share with you guys the specific studying techniques that helped me succeed on this portion of the SAT, especially when it comes to effectively analyzing and understanding literature and questions. I'll do my best to help you learn how to navigate the parts of the test you find overwhelming.

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.
