SAT Bootcamp: Reading/Writing (August 15, 16, and 17 @ 10:00AM – 12:00PM)

August 15th - August 17th

$475

The Reading section of the SAT is notoriously difficult, and the Writing section will put students’ knowledge of grammar and punctuation to the test. In this class session, students will learn strategies that are simultaneously consistent and adaptive in order to successfully navigate passages ranging from scientific journal articles to speeches given in the 1700s. Students will learn and practice effective and intuitive techniques for each type of reading passage, they will learn the essential punctuation rules and important patterns to look for, and they will learn to recognize and respond to all question types.

Tim

He/Him

Open Door Tutor

Math, Physics

A UMass Amherst graduate with a degree in Applied Mathematics, Tim started his career teaching high school math and physics. He continued teaching in a Job Corps program, as well as mixing in some private tutoring. While the majority of Tim’s career has been in high tech as a software and systems engineer, he never strayed far from his teaching roots — always mentoring younger engineers and sharing his expertise whenever possible. Tim’s teaching style is primarily Socratic — engaging in questions and conversation rather than solely explaining topics. He believes the tutoring process is a partnership in which both parties grow and learn. Tim spends his free time caring for his wife’s growing herd of horses, as well as trying, with intermittent success, to improve his golf game.
