What I Offer

I provide 1-on-1 SAT and ACT test prep that’s customized, supportive, and results-driven. Each plan is tailored to your teen’s strengths, goals, and timeline.

​

✔️ Individualized tutoring (virtual or in-person)

​​​​

My Approach

I believe test prep should be empowering—not overwhelming. I help students:

​

  • Understand the test and how to master it

  • Use smart strategies for pacing and accuracy

  • Shift from self-doubt to confidence

  • Feel supported every step of the way

 

I know that how students feel during the process matters just as much as the score they earn.

Real Results

"My son put in the work with Katie and increased his score by 300 points! We now have more choices in terms of his college options and merit-based scholarship opportunities."
 
"With Katie, I was able to increase my SAT score by over 100 points in just a couple months. The way she explains questions and strategies is extremely easy to understand."
 
"I'm so grateful for Katie's teaching and service. She helped me take incremental steps to achieve a huge goal - increasing my SAT score by 160 points!"​
 
"Katie helped me get the SAT score I needed to apply to the colleges I'm interested in attending. Without her help, this wouldn't be possible!"
 

When to Start

Ideally, begin prep 3-6 months before your planned test date. In Colorado, all juniors take the SAT in mid-April. Both the SAT and ACT are available throughout the year at various locations. Registering early is recommended as spots tend to fill quickly.
