Hello! I’m a cheerful, curious student who absolutely loves math and science (yes, I get genuinely excited solving equations!). I’ve completed Khan Academy’s AP Calculus course and an SAT prep course earlier this year. Now I’m joining Schoolhouse’s peer-led SAT bootcamp to reinforce my knowledge and deepen my understanding — I’m confident the SAT course will be as excellent as the AP Calculus one from Khan Academy.

I chose Schoolhouse because, as a non-profit founded by Sal Khan of Khan Academy, it offers free, structured, small-group SAT bootcamps that, according to their own data, result in an average score increase of 50 points over four weeks. This aligns perfectly with my goal of studying abroad — a high SAT score is essential for opening those doors.

Outside of academics, I’ve led a chess club and volunteered locally, which helped me develop as a leader and community member. I’m excited to join Schoolhouse’s supportive, student-powered environment — where learning is serious, but the vibe is friendly. Let’s do this together!
