Hi! I’m a high school senior who’s passionate about helping students build confidence and reach their goals on the SAT. I focus especially on the Reading and Writing sections and love making test prep clear and approachable. I joined Schoolhouse to support others, share what I’ve learned, and make studying a little more enjoyable.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

To get the most out of this quick and interactive series, it’s important to join both Zoom sessions on time and stay for the whole 45 minutes. Since each session builds on the last, missing one means missing out on key skills and practice. If you can’t make it or will be late, just send me a quick message beforehand. If a learner misses a session without letting me know, they might be withdrawn to open up space for others. Let’s keep things fun and focused!
