Series Details

About

Because SAT Bootcamps don't start until July 17th, I'll cover a variety of SAT Topics in both Math and Reading and Writing sections of the SAT. We will go over walkthroughs for different problem sets and complete practice tests from mainly Khan Academy's SAT webpage. All score ranges can join, but will be targeted towards scores closer to 600 - 690.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

1. Make yourself accountable. You will only get the proportional results from the effort that you put in. Although the sessions will be interactive, it's your own responsibility to arrive on time.

2. Although missing sessions here or there is acceptable, please make sure to message me beforehand.

3. You will be withdrawn form the series if you have more than 2 unexcused absences in a row.

About the Tutor

I've been active on Khan Academy for about 5 years now and wanted to give back to the community. I've tutored a few of my friends and enjoy teaching and explaining subjects, but I don't want to be a teacher. I have my fair share of commitments such as school/after school activities and sports, so I may not be online as often. Some of my hobbies include computer science, where I find endless fascination in coding, problem-solving, and developing innovative solutions. I focus on competitive programming like USACO in my spare time. I play soccer as well, which has been a part of my life since I was young, and I enjoy the rush of scoring goals, the strategic maneuvering on the field, and the camaraderie with my teammates. By integrating these diverse interests, I've developed a unique perspective that combines creativity with analytical thinking, teamwork with independent problem-solving, and physical strength with mental agility. I'm always excited to take on new challenges, expand my horizons, and make a positive impact in both the digital and physical realms. I have also achieved 1580 on my October 2023 Paper SAT with a 800 Math 780 RW Split. Feel free to message me anytime if you need help or have questions.
