Katie was instrumental in providing the resources necessary to raise my score significantly.

I highly recommend Katie for ACT tutoring. She is extremely knowledgeable about the test and how to take it, as well as the subject matter. She has a very kind way of working with the students and parents! With Katie’s help, my older son was admitted to the Carlson School of Business at the University of MN, and my younger son improved his score by 5 points.

+6  –  27 to 33

Working with Katie boosted my  score considerably! She worked at my pace and helped to guide me through areas of struggle while still working and improving areas of strength. She, for example, helped me understand how to time-manage the math section so that I could focus on questions that were easier for me rather than rushing through them and making careless errors, which improved my score significantly.

Jonathan, 12th Grade

My family and I could not have asked for a better tutor than Katie. My ACT score went up 5 points after my time working with her. Katie’s services can prepare any student for any test. Her services make students feel positive and prepared before a test, comfortable in their ability and preparation, and accomplished and relieved once they receive the score they were aiming for, if not higher. Katie does an excellent job preparing a personal and positive work environment for any student, and making that student feel comfortable with the format and questions on their upcoming test. Katie’s knowledge and personality make her an excellent asset to any student in need of some extra help.

Connor, 12th Grade

Katie helped me improve my ACT score dramatically!  Not only did my score jump 3 points, but my confidence rose exponentially.  Katie was extremely easy to work with and took the time to fully analyze and answer any questions I had.  She is an extremely dedicated individual and I would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Ellen, 12th Grade

Katie helped me grow as a critical thinker and student. She is able to teach you to break down difficult problems into mini ones that then become manageable.  She is patient and challenges you to think through problems on your own, instead of just giving away answers, so that you can succeed on test day.  Katie helped me gain confidence in my math ability and improve my results in high school AP calculus and my ACT scores. I wish I could have Katie as my tutor at college!

Hayley, 8th-12th Grade

I worked with Katie from 8th-12th grade, and she helped me with everything from basic algebra to calculus. I dreaded doing math homework, but always looked forward to my meetings with Katie knowing I would come out confident and ready for my next test. She is patient, understanding, and helped me see challenging concepts in new ways. When it came time for me to take the ACT Katie helped me bring my score up 5 points! She gave me strategies specific to my personal weaknesses, and taught me how to manage the test in ways my practice book didn’t.

Jeb, 10th & 12th Grade

Katie Halcrow has been a crucial component to my education. Her help has allowed me to pass classes, as well as develop important skills and knowledge to excel in other courses. Katie is someone I have always been excited to work with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking an exceptionally talented tutor.

Jane, 11th-12th Grade

Katie has been such a great math tutor.  She knows how to break down the harder problems into simpler ones.  She’s also really nice and it’s been such a blast getting to know her this past year!  I would highly recommend her as a tutor.
