About

Hello, I'm John, and I'm very excited to be hosting an SAT Reading/Writing Bootcamp. Math is fairly simple due to the limited amount of material covered in the sections, but Reading and Writing has historically been a lot more tricky. My goal is to help prepare each of you to successfully tackle the Reading and Grammar/Language section of the SAT.

This four-week tutoring series will help you prepare for your upcoming SAT in both Reading and Writing & Language. By the end of the series, you will have completed multiple practice tests and worked through a number of problems from previous SATs, helping you build confidence for your upcoming exam. You’ll spend each session with me and a small group of other learners who are also working towards taking the SAT. Since it’s a small group, you can expect sessions to be very interactive as you work together towards improving your SAT skills as much as you can! Note: Cameras should be on so we can all get to know each other! If you have a specific reason why you can’t have your camera on, please notify me ahead of time.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session.

Message your tutor if you have an extenuating circumstance and must miss a session. If you have two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from the bootcamp series.

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.
