Meet Kristie Beck.

Kristie Beck is an experienced test prep specialist with more than 30 years of work with high school students and a long track record of helping them succeed. She holds a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Pittsburgh, a master's degree in educational psychology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and a doctorate in educational leadership and policy analysis from the University of Missouri.

Her professional background includes fifteen years as a high school English teacher and ten years as a high school principal before she launched Savvy Strategies, her independent tutoring and educational practice. For the past nine years, Kristie has specialized in SAT and ACT preparation, bringing a deep understanding of how students learn, how tests are designed, and how to close the gap between the two so that students can earn a score that best represents their abilities.

Working with high school students has defined Kristie's entire career, and that long-term commitment shows in the results her students achieve. Her combination of classroom experience, school leadership, and advanced training in educational psychology gives her insight into both the content of the tests and the strategies that help students perform their best when it counts.

As the mother of six grown children — whose educational journeys have included Stanford Law School, the U.S. Naval Academy, the University of Notre Dame, and Wake Forest University — Kristie brings something beyond professional expertise to her work. She understands firsthand the stress that students and families feel around test scores, and she approaches every student with both the knowledge of an educator and the compassion of a parent who has been there.
