About

Hey, I'm Melody from California, and this is my third time leading a bootcamp on the SAT English section! I boosted my own R&W score by 110 points from the PSAT, in part from my practice with these bootcamps, and I hope I can help you improve too. :D

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.

If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.

About the Tutor

Hi, I'm Melody, a first-year college student studying in Washington, D.C.! When I'm not mourning the loss of my far-superior San Diego Zoo (or, you know, studying), I'm trying new escape rooms, putting up more fairy lights, and making Oreo milkshakes :D I mostly do live help sessions in algebra and geometry right now, but I'm also up to help you analyze pieces for English Lit & Lang or review SAT concepts (English or math).
