Hello, I'm Oscar. I'm currently a high school senior from California. I am experienced in SAT prep, along with a diverse array of other subjects. As a tutor, I'd love to be as helpful as possible to all my learners, helping them build confidence and develop strategies that extend beyond the classroom. In my free time, I enjoy playing badminton and listening to music.
