Series Details

About

Hi! When: Every Monday with some extra office hours, meetups, and more! What: We will cover a different area of SAT reading every session; from determining where everyone is in their prep, to understanding overarching weaknesses, and being able to approach any passage. The schedule will look something like this: Week 1: Pre-Test & Introductions (longest session) Week 2: Understanding What to Work On ...and so on! Each session builds off the other so it would be ideal for a person to attend all the sessions in this series. ***sessions will continue to be added—possible end date is mid August*** I hope to see you there! :)

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

You will be withdrawn from the series if you miss any session without giving the tutor prior notice. One unexcused absence will be allowed given that there is a plausible explanation. Participation is also expected at least once per session.

About the Tutor

Hi! My name's Anvika, I am a senior and excited to be a tutor! (she/hers) I'm an avid reader, public speaker, and runner. I love teaching new concepts to students and helping them through different obstacles in their learning journeys, all while still trying to make things engaging. Everyone has needed help at some point, and it's amazing how much you can pick up from other folks who have struggled as well. 🗣️ Any feedback whatsoever is GREATLY appreciated— I want to be the best tutor I can possibly be :) 🤗 Just in general, I tend to stick to smaller group sessions because they're more effective so I might not increase group size past 15 or 20. Nothing personal. I hope I see you at a session!
