Hello, my name is Siddharth Chukkayapally, and I will be your tutor for GSA’s summer SAT program. I am a junior at Green Hope High School who is passionate about teaching others. In my free time, I like to work out, play sports, and spend time with friends and family. I have taken the SAT twice, with my most recent score being a 1600. While preparing for the test, I learned a lot about what it takes to get a 1600 and the specific test strategies to get you there as well. I am excited about this program and I look forward to all of you joining.
