About

Hey everyone! My name is Anika, and I'm a college sophomore studying Human Evolutionary Biology, maybe on a pre-med track. In high school, through the help of teachers, I improved my SAT score by 200 points! Now I want to help current high schoolers reach their own SAT goals. I ran a Reading & Writing SAT Bootcamp on Schoolhouse last summer, and I'm excited to do it again! Outside of tutoring and going to class, I sing in a treble choir, play flute, read, and run :)

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

Hi, I’m Anika and I’m a college sophomore living in Massachusetts! I study Human Evolutionary Biology with plans to become a geneticist and (maybe!) a surgeon. I made it through all the challenging introductory subjects in biology, statistics, and writing, and now I'm ready to help high school students do the same! I also survived the ordeal of improving my SAT score and getting into my top choice colleges, so I'm happy to help with that too. Additionally, I minor in music and I'm a huge book nerd, so if you want to chat about anything from Franz Liszt to Fleetwood Mac or The Odyssey to Percy Jackson then I'm the tutor for you! I ran an SAT bootcamp last summer and had a great time helping everyone figure out how to improve. I'm excited to get back into tutoring this summer!
