SAT Academic English Exam Testimonial – Kadir

I learned diffrent ways to approach the paragraphs like finding the correct line that answers the question and if im sure of that then i go back and try to find the answer

You did best at explaining the words i didnt know and explaining me meaning of a section of the paragraph that i didnt understand

You made my time very enjoyable with vocabulary card games after the reading/writing session is a nice way to have fun and maybe calm down

You are energetic and funny
