About

Feeling stuck in SAT English? Let’s fix that. This course helps you practice, review, and reinforce the toughest SAT English question types — so you can walk into test day with clarity and confidence.
﻿
We meet once a week on Sundays for 45-minute sessions.
﻿
We’ll follow a three-week cycle aligned with the cycle of the main course to help you stay sharp, confident, and in control of even the trickiest reading and writing questions:
﻿
✅ Week 1 (Practice Test) – Take a tough, timed English practice test module with high-difficulty SAT questions that test your reading and writing stamina and accuracy.
﻿
✅ Week 2 (Office Hours) – Review the hardest questions students submitted — with clear, practical explanations and strategies to help you break through what’s been holding you back.
﻿
✅ Week 3 (Review Game) – Play an interactive Wayground quiz game to review the most recent question types from the main course and lock in what you've learned.
﻿
Every session aligns with the material in the Excel in SAT English course — but you can jump in anytime to catch up, revisit weak spots, or get some extra support when you need it. This course is built to help you deepen understanding, sharpen strategy, and actually enjoy making progress.
﻿
Let’s excel in SAT English — together.
