About

Hi, my name is Hema! I'm excited to help you prepare for the Reading and Writing portion of the SAT! We'll be going through tips and tricks as well as practice questions and tests. I'll answer any questions you have to the best of my ability! I look forward to meeting you! :)

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.
