About

Hi, my name is Lucy and I can't wait to help you prepare for the SAT Reading & Writing session.  I'm a high school senior who recently got a 750 on this section of the exam.  Together, we can cultivate a respectful and engaged environment where we improve not only our testing skills, but the language skills we'll be using throughout our entire academic career!

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 every session.

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 Washington college student double majoring in linguistics and Spanish. I facilitate Spanish workshops for staff at my university and am on a team that develops explicit pronunciation training for our classrooms. I have a passion for language learning as you can see, but I am also a huge history and choir nerd. I especially have a passion for evolving educational strategies, which is why I have so much love for schoolhouse. I pop up to teach SAT bootcamps, attend mock senates, and hang out in polyglot spaces from time to time. I hope I'll see you :).
