About

Hi! My name is Melia, and I'm hosting a series focused specifically on the SAT Reading & Writing section! I've tutored multiple subjects in the past, but I'm super excited to tutor a broader range of students! When it comes to how I tend to teach, I love practice problems, breaking things down into manageable chunks of information, and working together as a group. It's my goal during each session to have you guys talking as much as possible! I will gear each session based on previous sessions and ask for your feedback, to make this as engaging and fun as possible.

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.

About the Tutor

Hi! My name is Melia, and I am currently in my second year at university! Some of my hobbies include art, music, crochet, and spending time with friends/family/pets! I like to incorporate humor, practice examples, and your input into my tutoring sessions. I know preparing for the SAT can be quite daunting, overwhelming, and stressful, but I'm here to support you in any way that I can. I look forward to working with and getting to know each of you.
