Meet Susan
Students who excel in academics, can also struggle with the SAT and ACT exams. It doesn’t mean they can’t succeed. It simply means they may need a different approach, one that teaches essential test-taking skills, effective strategies, and builds confidence.
As a seasoned Test Prep Coach, I specialize in developing customized learning plans tailored to each student’s learning style. I have more than 15 years of experience as a homeschool instructor, (with two daughters obtaining college degrees, Summa Cum Laude) and 14 additional years of honing my skills as a Test Prep Coach. I have trained with multiple sources and have gleaned and blended the best techniques with my own to teach students how to master these tests. While I have successfully coached students in all the exam subjects, my niche is ACT Reading & English, and SAT Reading & Writing.

CLT 10, preACT, PSAT 10
Many students don't begin thinking about college until junior year, but starting earlier can make a big difference.

Become familiar with the skills they'll use on the test
Get on colleges' radar early by sharing your scores
Earn scholarships and awards
