About

Want to boost your SAT Reading and Writing score fast and build real test-day confidence? This twice-a-week summer accelerator is designed for you. Led by a 1500+ scorer, each session dives into the exact question types and skills tested by the College Board — with built-in practice test sessions to reinforce your progress.
﻿
We’ll cover all key SAT English content areas: Information and Ideas, Expression of Ideas, Standard English Conventions, and Craft and Structure. Each topic is broken into focused lessons across two days a week, so you build momentum and retention without feeling overwhelmed. You’ll learn how to tackle challenging questions about grammar, punctuation, rhetorical synthesis, vocabulary in context, and evidence-based reading — practicing with real SAT-style problems.
﻿
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.
﻿
Whether you’re just starting out or aiming for top percentile, this course meets you where you are — helping you move forward with clarity and 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?
