Small-group courses and private sessions designed to help students master the content, learn effective testing strategies, and walk into the testing room with confidence. Strategic, targeted, and proven. Students routinely gain 100+ points.
Reading, writing, math, and more for students in grades K-12. Whether your child needs to catch up, keep up, or get ahead, we meet them exactly where they are.
The Knowledge Nook was founded in Austin, Texas to close the gap between the personalized support students need and what’s possible in today’s crowded classrooms. We believe every student deserves to be known, not just taught.
By keeping groups small and relationships strong, we create an environment where students feel safe to take risks, ask hard questions, and learn at a pace that actually works for them.
Jack was so anxious about his [first] session today, he was begging not to go last night and was so nervous. Afterwards he said, “Mom!!! I loved tutoring. I did really good and she taught me a lot!!” And he said he wants to come back! He told me all about it and he never tells me about anything. What a success! THANK YOU!!!
These sessions helped me a great deal. Not only with improving my SAT scores, but also with gaining knowledge I’d missed in school. Everything was well explained and she provided study guides for me to use at home. When I took the SAT, she looked at my score breakdown and tailored my tutoring to the areas I scored lowest. This was a great experience and I will absolutely recommend Suzan to friends and family!
Cannot say enough good things!! My son did 4 weeks (4 sessions) of private SAT prep this spring and went up almost 100 points on his second SAT. So happy with her help!
HIGHLY recommend Suzan! My daughter loved having her as a math teacher at Veritas Academy and was thrilled to work with her for a few private SAT prep sessions. And it worked! She improved her score by 100 points!
If you’re thinking about booking Suzan for SAT prep, I’d absolutely recommend her. She’s an exceptional teacher: motivating, dedicated, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. Going into prep, I was really concerned about how I’d catch up on all the math content I hadn’t learned or fully understood. But very quickly, Suzan explained everything so clearly and in such depth that I was able to recognize and tackle most problem types efficiently on test day. What sets her apart is that she consistently goes above and beyond, even outside of lesson time. Whether I needed help with a forgotten concept or had questions between sessions, she was always there, using her own time to support me. You won’t find a teacher who’s more committed to your success.
