About

Hi, my name is Lily (I'm fine with any pronouns) and I'm super excited to be helping anyone who signs up with the reading and writing portion of the SAT! I try to be more relaxed in my approach because I know how stressful the test itself can be, so I'm hoping not only to prepare other students for the content of the test, but also in taking a little bit of that stress off. I also want to make sure everyone feels comfortable, so don't be afraid to let me know of anything in advance that you feel like is important for me to know!

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.
