About

Alright so I'm Marco and I'll be here to make sure that you do great on your SAT. If you don't understand a concept, I'll make it my mission to make sure that you do. I get that tutoring sessions can feel boring at times, but I'll try to mitigate this by keeping the sessions engaging.

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

So basically I'm Marco and I'm here to help with reading and writing for getting a higher SAT score. I went from a 1270 to a 1450 in a week of practice, so I think anyone can get a higher SAT score with practice as well.
