About

**May be more suitable for 600+ scorers!
Hey everyone! In this series, we’re going beyond the obvious tips/tricks taught in prep books (I bought 3 of them so I know). The strategies I will cover are unlike the generic advice given by Princeton Review or Collegeboard but actual patterns I've noticed and real strategies you can apply. I’ll walk you through EVERY single question type, and my personal STEP-BY-STEP approach for EACH problem, so you can learn the strategies I took 7 months to learn in just a few hours!

**The first session (4/5) was a success! However, The session lasted 2 hours and a whole lot longer than I expected! Since the Information & ideas section of R/W is even more difficult than Craft & Structure (and I realize not everyone has 2 hours of time), I made the decision to add a session April 7 to cover the second half of Information & Ideas. I'm so sorry if the time of the new session does not work for you, but feel free to DM me if another time works and if you'd still like help!

Here is the schedule:
April 5 Craft and Structure
April 6 Information and Ideas (P1)
April 7 Information and Ideas (P2)
TBD Standard English Conventions
TBD Expression of Ideas

Hi everyone! I'm Kianna, a high school junior in Southern California and 1550 SAT scorer (770 Reading/Writing, 780 Math)! Although I am a newer tutor I am so excited to help others (specifically for the SAT) and gain certification in other subjects! I understand the frustration, time commitment, and laborious effort it takes when studying for the SAT because I have experienced it myself when improving my score from a 1420 to a 1550. Self-studying for 7 months has been lethal (not even exaggerating), but in the end it all pays off and I know it will for you too. I really love teaching others, and I have a good grasp on both important test-taking strategies and subject concepts. Additionally, I've scored 5s on all the AP classes I've taken and I am currently taking 6 AP classes (pray for me), so you'll be in great hands! In my free time I enjoy cooking and any outdoor activity liking hiking and skiing. Food is the way to my heart, especially Pho and Pad Thai! I also love skiing when it's winter (and yes skiing > snowboarding). Anyway, I wish you all of luck in your learning journey—I hope I can be a part of it along the way!
