This is a genuine English class on how to read. My only purpose on this platform is to teach those who want to improve their English.

Be prepared to discuss the media and communication, from Renaissance Courts to modern tabloid giants. We will practice reading, writing and debating topics that will help you improve your understanding in English and think creatively with it.

Each lesson aims to introduce a new topic with adjacent grammar points and exercises. I will guide you through new vocabulary and pronunciation. You will have options to choose some of the material and even the structure of your own learning.

*Mind the glitch - this class is taught in English only.

About Me
I create rapport and connect easily with students. I try to motivate through engaging storytelling, prompting questions and debating them. We will work together to achieve your goals through planning and meeting targets in each lesson. A great part of teaching is leading by example, to cultivate confidence in students, who can decide what works best for them.
Education
I graduated in B.S.c (Hons) Anthropology with Languages (2015), from University of Kent, UK. My theses focused on Linguistics, Immigration and Genetics.
Previously, I followed a course in translation and critical writing through Italian literature, film and theatre, at University of Birmingham.
I am interested in ethnography, immigration, linguistics and technology.

Clases Español:
Hola muy buenas, soy estudiante universitario en España y estoy en Helsinki durante un tiempo. Soy Español y Canadiense por lo que soy nativo en ambos idiomas (español e inglés). Toda mi vida he hablado ambos idiomas y en España doy clases de Inglés por lo que tengo experiencia. Me sé adaptar a cualquier nivel ya que he estado en esa posición a lo largo de mi vida. Estoy dispuesto a dar clases tanto en persona como online, también puedo dar clases tanto individuales como grupales.

Spanish classes:
Hello, I'm a university student in Spain and I am in Helsinki for a while. I am Spanish and Canadian so I am native in both languages (Spanish and English). All my life I've spoken both languages and in Spain I teach English, so I have experience teaching. I know how to adapt to any level as I have been in that position throughout my life. I am willing to give classes both in person and online,

Espanjan tunnit:
Olen yliopisto-opiskelija Espanjassa ja olen Helsingissä jonkin aikaa. Olen espanjalainen ja kanadalainen, joten puhun äidinkielenäni molempia kieliä (espanjaa ja englantia). Koko elämäni olen puhunut molempia kieliä ja Espanjassa opetan englantia, joten minulla on kokemusta molemmista kielistä. Osaan sopeutua mihin tahansa tasoon, koska olen ollut siinä asemassa koko elämäni ajan. Olen valmis antamaan tunteja sekä henkilökohtaisesti että verkossa, voin myös antaa yksilö- ja ryhmätunteja.

Kiitos ja toivon, että voimme parantaa espanjan kielen yhdessä.

TL;DR: If you're preparing for the Digital SAT and need guidance, I'm here to help. I scored 1540 (750 in English, 790 in Math) and am currently studying Quantum Technology at Aalto University on a scholarship.

Here's everything you need to know:

About Me
I’m currently a first-year bachelor’s student at the School of Science in Aalto University, where I secured a highly competitive full-tuition scholarship thanks to my SAT score (1540: Math 790, English 750). I’ve been an SAT tutor for over a year now, teaching both group classes and one-on-one sessions. In total, I’ve helped more than 70 students reach their SAT goals. Back in Bangladesh, I worked as an SAT instructor at Mentors' and developed the SAT teaching curriculum at Noetic. With this experience under my belt, I’ve designed a teaching method that’s effective, flexible, and, most importantly, tailored to you.

How My Classes Work
The SAT is all about finding patterns and mastering the "game". My classes are structured to help you do exactly that. In each class, I will teach you some theoretical basics first and then make you go through some actual SAT problems related to those basics. It's not about me showing you how to solve, rather it's about making you capable to think like a 1500+ scorer. In the process, I'll observe your thought process and give feedback on where you are going wrong and what you doing right. Sounds impressive?

Here’s the class breakdown:

English Classes

Words in Context
Text Structure and Purpose
Cross-Text Connections
Central Ideas and Details
Command of Evidence (Textual, Quantitative)
Inferences
Boundaries
Form, Structure, and Sense
Rhetorical Synthesis
Transitions

Math Classes

Algebra: 3 sessions
Advanced Math: 3 sessions
Problem Solving and Data Analysis: 3 sessions
Geometry and Trigonometry: 2 sessions

Don’t worry; the number of classes is flexible. If you’re already confident in certain topics, we’ll skip them and focus on what needs improvement. This isn’t a cookie-cutter course—it’s all about what works best for you.

Logistics
Duration: Each class is 1.5 hours.
Preferred Schedule: After 6 PM (but we can discuss).
Class Options: Online (Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams) or in-person (either at Aalto University, my place, or yours (applicable for Espoo and Helsinki)).

Why Choose Me?
Sure, there are tons of SAT prep courses out there. But when you hit a wall or feel like your progress has plateaued, that’s where I come in. You'll choose me because —
a) I have a high score, so I know how to crack this.
b) I have taken the SAT on Oct, 2023 and since then taught more than 70 students all over the world. So, I am updated with the curriculum and process.
c) I am already studying in a reputed university with scholarship leveraging my SAT score. So, I can guide through the admission process (be it in Europe or US) as well.
d) I am a no bullshit guy. If you need 2/3 classes only, that's fine. If you need 20 classes, that's also fine. I am here to make money but not to exploit. So, I offer huge flexibility.

I’ll help you:
Identify the SAT’s patterns and tricks.
Focus on your weak areas while leveraging your strengths.
Understand the nuances of scoring 1500+.
Navigate college admissions (both in the U.S. and Europe).

Plus, if you’re up for it, you’ll get free life advice and philosophical discussions along the way. (Yes, seriously.)

What My Students Say
A lot of my students start off feeling stuck and overwhelmed but end up feeling confident and in control. They’ve told me that my approach is not just practical and effective, but surprisingly enjoyable too! The SAT isn’t just a test—it’s a challenge you can conquer with the right mindset and strategies.

Ready to Get Started?
Whether you’re aiming for a 1200 or pushing for a 1550+, I’m here to help you achieve your goals. Let’s make this happen together.

Reach out, and let’s chat about how I can support your SAT journey. Looking forward to hearing from you!
