Introduction: Katrina has been tutoring computer skills, math, and test prep for the last seven years. She's a tutoring expert who has taught online, one-on-one, in small groups and classes, as well as developing curriculum for and training other tutors. As a former test prep manager and curriculum writer, Katrina has a wealth of experience beyond the ~520 test prep students she has personally taught. Her work has helped hundreds of students score better on the SAT and ACT. Test prep can be a confusing and stressful experience, and her goal is to help students set and achieve their goals. Katrina is equally adept in all sections of the SAT and ACT. I love working with students towards their goals. My academic background is in cognitive science - the science of the brain. One-on-one tutoring is an excellent opportunity to figure out how your mind works and how to make it work better. My students (and their parents) report improvements in motivation, discipline, and regular classwork, in addition to score increases for standardized tests! When I'm not working with private clients, I teach SAT classes at the SF Public Libraries.

Katrina is one of my favorite tutors of all time. Every session is rigorous and she's really good at keeping you on your toes. Her explanations and tutorials are easy to understand as well, so that makes every session just that much more worth it.

She is extremely knowledgeable in math and is wonderful at explaining a problem. She also makes sure that you have a clear understanding of what was reviewed during your session! I am very glad I found her.
