About

Hi, my name is Akil, and I’m excited to help you prepare for the SAT! As a student who scored a 1520/1520 on the PSAT and a 1540/1600 on the SAT, I’ve worked with the College Board to help students like you succeed — and I’m here to help you feel confident and ready on test day.
﻿
This four-week tutoring series will help you prepare for your upcoming SAT in Reading & Writing. 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.

Hi, I’m Akil! I scored a 1520 on the PSAT and a 1540 on the SAT, and I know how challenging both the Reading & Writing and Math sections can be. I’m here to share real strategies that work—whether it’s breaking down tricky passages, mastering grammar rules, tackling word problems, or learning how to move quickly through algebra and functions. My sessions are laid-back but focused, built to help you build confidence, boost your score, and reach your goals. Let’s tackle the SAT together and get you closer to your dream score!

Need to miss a session? Let your tutor know by using the "Submit excused absence" button on the series page. Then, catch up by using the Session Makeup Guide or attending a live make-up session.

Multiple unexcused absences? If you reach two unexcused absences, you may be removed from the series and your Schoolhouse account may be suspended.
