Strengthen Self-efficacy
We help students reach their academic potential. Areas of expertise include higher math, reading, study skills, time management and organization, and avoidance coping strategies.

STANDARDIZED TEST PREP
A Comprehensive Approach
Services include one-on-one instruction for the ACT, SAT, PSAT, SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT that minimizes anxiety, inspires confidence, and maximizes performance. An individualized program is designed based on the student’s testing history, learning style, academic and extracurricular schedule, and ultimate score goals. Krista can help students with documented learning disabilities apply for accomodations.

An initial parent phone call or meeting is recommended to discuss student needs, develop realistic goals, and determine tutor fit.
