About

As someone who once took the SAT, transition questions are one of the trickiest parts of the SAT Reading & Writing section. BUT, once you master these questions, they are one of the most easy ways to secure points. In this session, we’ll break down the different types of transition questions, go step-by-step through real practice problems, and learn how to spot the right answer every time with many strategies. By the end, you’ll feel confident tackling these high-yield questions and boosting your score 😁👍.

Hi! I’m Marvin and I'm a high schooler from NY who loves helping other students prepare for the SAT. I enjoy breaking down tricky concepts into simple strategies and making test prep less stressful. I know SAT prep can feel overwhelming, so my goal is to make it easier, clearer, and maybe even fun while we tackle the test together (I’ve made every mistake possible, so you don’t have to).

I'm a high school student from New York, and I love helping others learn whenever I can. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and working out. As a student who once struggled with school, I hope to use Schoolhouse to updraft the skills of others. Transferring knowledge and knowing it will allow members of my audience to achieve greater things gives me a sense of fulfillment I can get nowhere else.
