About

Hey there! My name is Ray, and I'm from New York City, USA. I'm an avid skier, Dunkin' drinker, and aviation enjoyer. Credential wise, I received an 800 on my SAT R&W section. I hope to be able to help you with improving your SAT Reading & Writing skills! 
﻿
This four-week tutoring series will help you prepare for your upcoming SAT in Reading & Writing. 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.
