About
This workshop will be about saving time when answering SAT Math questions. We will break down the most common problem types and explore efficient strategies to solve them without unnecessary steps. You’ll learn shortcuts, estimation techniques, and ways to quickly identify the best approach for each question type — all aimed at boosting your speed and accuracy under timed conditions.
Note: This session is best suited for students who are already comfortable with the SAT Math content and are primarily looking to improve their pacing and efficiency.
Tutored by
I'm an undergraduate biomedical sciences major and physics minor pursuing medicine via my college's 7 year accelerated B.S./M.D. program. I also love teaching and tutoring because I love seeing a piece of knowledge or concept "click" for someone else. I've tutored math ranging from Algebra 1 to AP Calculus BC/Calculus 2 and SAT/ACT math and reading. I'm also comfortable teaching AP Biology, Chemistry, and Physics 1/2/C:Mechanics as I've taken these subjects both in high school and as part of my premedical degree.
