PSAT/SAT: Mastering Vocabulary, Logic, and Critical Reading
Class experience
US Grade 7 - 10
This course is appropriate for any student wanting to prepare for the PSAT and SAT, or any student wanting to improve vocabulary/reading for other standardized tests. Do note that the vocabulary/reading levels of the passages range from 7th grade and beyond, but I do not restrict student age levels. Also, note that the SAT no longer assigns students an essay to write. Instead, students complete a critical reading section and a writing section. This class focuses PRIMARILY on skills to benefit...
Students will work to prepare for the critical reading section of the SAT, PSAT, and other types of test prep by learning and applying vocabulary studies.
In my classes (brick and mortar and Outschool), I work with all levels of students (IEP students, general education, and high-ability students). My goal as a teacher is to foster critical thinking and communication skills in order to help your child achieve their goals and become more proficient readers, writers, and critical thinkers. More than that, I encourage students to fall in love with learning.

I enjoy using socratic and discussion-based learning to help students think deeply about the texts that they read. I have taken 2 workshops in the Spring of 2022 (including the Indiana GEAR Up SAT professional development workshop) that cover ways to prepare students for the SAT and PSAT. I also tutor students in preparing for the SAT.
