MEET THE FOUNDER
Built on real results— not your typical tutoring.
Krystyna Walters founded Avery Prep after years of private tutoring and watching students struggle not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked the right system. She developed her own methodology — a structured, diagnostic-first approach that identifies exactly where a student is losing points and builds from there.
As demand for her sessions grew beyond what she could serve alone, Krystyna made a deliberate choice: rather than grow fast, she’d grow carefully. Every tutor at Avery Prep is selected through a rigorous process, trained directly in her methods, and overseen on an ongoing basis.
The result is a team where every session — whether with Krystyna or one of her tutors — reflects the same standard of care.

Why students here actually improve
Diagnose before we prescribe.
Every student begins with a diagnostic session. We identify exactly where points are being lost before we ever write a lesson plan. Most prep services skip this step entirely.
A proven method — not improvisation.
Krystyna’s Blueprint to 1600™ method is the foundation every tutor is trained on. Sessions are structured, strategic, and tied to measurable benchmarks.
Leadership oversight on every case.
Tutors participate in weekly professional development with Krystyna. She reviews progress across every active student — not just her own sessions.
Vetted — not just warm bodies.
We screen 250+ applicants for every tutor we hire. Credentials matter, but so do patience, communication, and the ability to keep a student engaged when it gets hard.
Every tutor completes formal training modules, shadows Krystyna in live sessions, and receives ongoing feedback before ever working independently with a student. This is what Krystyna-trained means.
THE TEAM
