About

Hi, my name is Heng and I'm excited to work with y'all this month to get the score you want in SAT English! I'm eager to share the skills and tricks I've learned to help you improve your performance.

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, I'm a high school student from Long Island, New York who loves programming and electrical engineering, as well as playing the cello and erhu. From a very young age, I've been interested in CS and EE topics. Through self-studying programming concepts through a variety of books, I developed my skill and was able to self-study for both AP Computer Science exams. I'm the founder of my school's Cybersecurity Club and compete in various cybersecurity and programming competitions, such as CyberStart, Capture-the-flag, and ACSL. I'm also proficient in full-stack development on various platforms and have demonstrated competency through developing multiple complex projects, including involving the use of AI to achieve multiple awards at high school and collegiate hackathons. I have also presented my engineering projects at regional and state level science fairs. Finally, in school I enjoy learning physics, history, and math, and would love to share my knowledge with others through tutoring all sorts of subjects on this platform. SAT: 1570 (780RW, 790M) PSAT: 1520 APs: CSA (5), CSP (5), Bio (5), World (5), USH (5), Physics 1 (5), English Language (5) GIAC: GFACT Certified National Cyber Scholar (awarded by National Cybersecurity Scholarship Foundation) American Computer Science League (ACSL) Competition Finalist (Senior Division)
