About

Hi guys! This series will be split into two parts - reading and writing. Each session will go over strategies for the questions, reading the passages, and include lots of practice! Intended Audience: anyone taking the SAT in the next 6 months. Homework: none, maybe optional vocab or extra practice. Reading: Each session will focus on one type of passage and follow a similar structure of strategies, example, then timed practice. Each session will also include study tips :) Writing: The sessions will be split into focusing on either Grammar or "Expressions of Ideas". We'll do practice passages, but most practice will likely be through Kahoot and other more fun things. Cohorts: Each session will be run twice, once at 7:30pm EST and once at 9:30 pm EST. Feel free to attend either!

Hi guys! I'm a current college freshman studying Computer Science. I've been a part of SHW for a while (almost 2 years!) and primarily tutor SAT prep, AP prep, and math. I enjoy being a little silly goofy in my sessions, so it's guaranteed to be a fun time. Warning: 95% chance of sessions running overtime.
