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.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended.

Message your tutor if you have an extenuating circumstance and must miss a session. If you have two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from the bootcamp series.

About the Tutor

I'm a high school senior in the midwest US, interested in studying music and psychology. I'm here as a SAT Reading and Writing tutor :) I listen to k-pop, nu metal, post-punk, & emo (used loosely) music, and read philosophical or nonfiction books in my spare time. I LOVE sea slugs.
