Charly Kuecks has been a Test Prep and math tutor and group instructor for the past decade. She holds a degree in French Literature from Brigham Young University (BYU) and did her graduate work at the University of Utah's David Eccles School of Business. For four years, she taught ACT courses at the University of Utah since her first semester of grad school in August 2017 and has loved every minute! Having been a National Merit Scholar at the Waterford School in Sandy, Utah, and having gone to both undergrad and graduate school on a full merit scholarship, what she likes best about test prep as a field is demystifying a test that can be a huge barrier to students' upward mobility otherwise. With an approachable demeanor and an eye for minor details, she motivates her students to believe anything is possible in their pursuit of higher education. She’s also the lead writer for Mindspire's newsletter and blog. When not working, Charly pursues her interests in yoga, creative writing, snowboarding, and music.
