About

The SAT doesn’t measure genius, just teachable skills. With the right preparation, you can score like a top test-taker. I’ve helped students raise their scores into the 1400s and 1500s, and many of them now tutor on Schoolhouse themselves. 
﻿
As a Senior SAT Tutor with a 1520 score, I’ve guided students toward proven results you can trust.

In this course, we’ll cover all four SAT Reading and Writing sections: Information & Ideas, Craft & Structure, Expression of Ideas and Standard English Conventions
﻿
Over twelve sessions, we’ll focus on the question types within these four sections the College Board repeats, building strategies to work efficiently and avoid traps.
﻿
Each lesson comes with clear notes, curated practice, and access to the best free SAT resources, along with original guides I’ve created to simplify advanced topics.

We’ll use educator-level College Board question banks without spoiling Bluebook tests, so you’ll still have official exams to track your growth.

The format is flexible. Each session stands on its own, so you can join at any point and attend the lessons that target your weaknesses, or stay for the entire series to build complete mastery.

Hi, I’m Matthew! Welcome to my profile! I'm a senior in high school from Illinois (US). I am an experienced Senior Tutor on Schoolhouse. My primary focus is teaching my SAT courses, but I also have certifications and experience across the platform. I run structured, in-depth, courses to make test prep manageable and effective with a goal of helping all students reach their goals. I have experience guiding students to scores in the 1400s and 1500s, many of whom have now become tutors themselves on Schoolhouse. Outside of tutoring, I play baseball, support the Chicago Cubs and Bears and play video games. I’m also involved in BPA, Debate, YMSL, NHS, and Mu Alpha Theta (Math NHS). Feel free to reach out with any questions! ________________________________ 🏆 Top 10 in Super Helpful Ratings 🏆 Top 20 in Schoolhouse Points 🏆 Top 50 in Sessions Hosted (out of 30k tutors)
