About

Hi, I'm Ian, and I'm excited to help you guys prepare for the June SAT! Getting tutored was a really helpful experience for me, which makes me even more excited to try it myself! I've already tutored five bootcamps for the November, December, March, May, and June SATs in the past, and I'm looking forward to tutoring again. I'm going to work even harder this time to make sure you guys perform as well as possible on the exam. Another note is that I would LOVE for you guys to try to unmute and maybe even turn on your cameras during classes. I know it's sometimes not possible and you might not feel comfortable with it, but doing this really makes it a more interactive experience and will help you have a better time in our sessions and learn even more—you get as much out of the tutoring as what you put into it. That's a quick intro to my series, and I hope you decide to attend!

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.

Message your tutor if you have an extenuating circumstance and must miss a session. If you have two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from the bootcamp series.

About the Tutor

Hi, I'm Ian! I'm a high school student from Illinois. I tutor on Schoolhouse because I think it's really cool to help others practice and improve, since tutoring was an incredibly helpful experience for me myself, and I've been tutoring the SAT for over a year now! In my free time I enjoy hanging out with friends, gaming, and watching YouTube.
