About

Hello! I’m Kate, and I’m thrilled to be able to share my love of language and literature with all you. I’m here to help you ace the SAT and get a crazy good R&W score! I made a 750 R&W score on the SAT and a 5 in my AP Language class, but I also love to write and read in my free time. I want all of you to fully understand the subject, so if you ever need me to explain something differently, just ask! I know everybody learns differently and thinks differently, and I will do my best to adjust my teaching style to your specific needs.Reading and writing can be hard, but they’re also some of humanity’s greatest inventions and have allowed us to express ourselves in countless ways. By the end of this bootcamp, I hope that you will not only make great R&W scores on the SAT, but also have a deeper understanding and appreciation for the written word. 

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 Kate! I’m a senior from Georgia, US. I enjoy playing D&D and video games, reading fantasy novels, and writing fiction. I’ve loved to read and write since I was a little girl. Besides literature, my other passion is performance! I love to act and sing, and I am not shy about public speaking. If you struggle with English/Language Arts, I’d be happy to help you out!
