About

Hi, everyone! I'm Samantha (Sam), and I'm so excited to help you all prepare for the upcoming SAT. I'm a high school senior that loves to learn and help others. Having gone through this myself I know how stressful it can be, so I hope I can make it less scary for all of you by breaking down everything into small pieces, sharing everything I've learned and creating a low-stress/fun environment to learn in. Together, we can make SAT reading/writing questions a little less frightening.

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.
