About

Hey everyone,

My name is Pate, and I'm finishing up my sophomore year at the University of Wisconsin, where I'm majoring in Biology and Life Sciences Communications, with "certificates" (UW's version of minors) in Athletic Healthcare (aka Kinesiology) and Leadership. I, obviously, took the SAT/ACT a few years ago now, but I remember initially struggling with the reading and writing sections despite doing well in school and well in the math + science sections.

This will be the second reading + writing "bootcamp" that I have run, although it has been a while. As an instructor, I tend to be "to the point" and "blunt" in my instruction. On top of giving you advice for the SAT, I can advise you on applying to college and college life in general.

As a disclaimer** I have summer plans that may require me to change the dates/times of some of these sessions and/or cancel some of them "last minute"... when this happens I will share the slides in advance, and do my best to answer follow up questions. Additionally, while I'm here to help you, I'm not the person who's going to go "above and beyond" to help you with "every little thing"- I simply don't have the time- if you're looking for that, I advise you find one of the other amazing tutors on this platform.

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, my name is Pate, I’m an undergrad student studying to go to medical school from Wisconsin. In addition to being a student I also work in a research laboratory at the university I attend. I graduated from a suburban/rural high school in 2022, where I played Football and Hockey. In my free time I enjoy playing intramural sports and weightlifting. I am here to be a volunteer.
