SAT reading
I myself took SAT training courses and studied extensively on my own before taking the SAT a single time to achieve the score I wanted. Utilizing my knowledge, I achieved a high score on my junior year PSAT as well, and was a National Merit finalist. The SAT Reading section is trickier than other reading tests because there is a different format and style to the way CollegeBoard creates its questions; I have many best practices and much foundational knowledge to share that will help a student earn the best score possible in this section.
SAT writing
I have many best practices and much foundational knowledge that will help a student preparing for the essay-writing portion that is very important to the overall scoring.
spelling
I have worked on projects that necessitated ample and accurate spelling.
TOEFL
I have experience learning languages, as I am trilingual, and can share best practices when it comes to acquiring secondary language skills and knowledge. Furthermore, having held a part-time job in a Graduate Admissions Office, I have experience with TOEFL test-taking students.
vocabulary
I am a university student with ample and accurate usage of vocabulary.
