ACT Writing and ACT Reading tutor

About Krista

Struggling with standardized tests, your AP English class, or college apps? I'm here to help! I have over 7 years and 2,000 hours of classroom teaching and tutoring experience. I've helped countless students reach their goals in a fun, supportive learning environment.

I believe learning should be fun! I also believe that no two students are the same - you won't find a one-size-fits-all approach here! I always tailor my teaching to the individual student's learning styles and educational needs.

A little more about me: I graduated in the top 3% of the country's #1 English department: UC Berkeley. I've tutored students from 9th grade into their first years of college, all with great success.

I'm a test prep pro. Thousands of hours, hundreds of students. I not only tutor students but also design practice tests, so I understand exactly how these tests are trying to trick you! I worked at a prominent test prep company for 3 years, managing the Critical Reading department. I know these subjects inside and out.

I also work with students to craft excellent college applications. Condensing who you are as a person into 650 words can be extremely daunting, but with my expertise in this unique genre, we'll make sure you put your best foot forward!

I was trained by the best. My mentors attended the National Association for College Admission Counseling every year and brought back the invaluable knowledge that I will pass on to you! I have worked with many students to achieve the admissions results they desire, with acceptances to universities such as Stanford, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, and Johns Hopkins.

Just want some help in your English class? No problem. I can help you with reading comprehension, literary analysis, academic essay writing, rhetoric, or simply building your vocabulary.
