About

Hello everyone! My name is Jane and I'm really excited that all of you are going to join my bootcamp. I'm a massive English nerd, and I look forward to helping you guys succeed on the SAT! Over the couple of weeks that we're going to be working together, we'll be going over essential skills—grammar rules and vocabulary for example— as well as individual questions to best prepare you for the SAT.

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

Hello there! I'm a book nerd, writer, double bassist, and dog lover from the US. In my free time I like devouring every word Tolkien's ever written, writing queer fantasy (I've won a couple of writing contests and I hope to be a novelist one day), playing double bass, watching Star Trek: The Original Series (though I also enjoy Star Wars), and playing with my dog, Athena (my profile pic)! Reach out if you ever need help with reading/writing. I'm really good at grammar stuff, and my goal is to one day rid the world of comma splices. I'd also be happy to talk over some classic lit or help you get through an argumentative essay!
