Deb C.

Debora (Deb) Crichton is a Premium Tutor who works with students preparing for the SAT, ACT, and PSAT, as well as those preparing for private school admissions tests. Deb earned both a BA in Economics and an MBA in Operations Management from the University of Washington, and she spent the first twenty years of her career working in the aerospace industry before moving to a classroom. Deb has experience tutoring students of all ages, both individually and in groups, and has also taught high school. She sees tutoring as a collaborative effort shared by the tutor and the student: "My style focuses on unlocking the potential in each student. I have plenty of patience for students who take a little extra time to learn. I enjoy the feeling that really knowing how to do something engenders in a student. Having said that, I do push students to challenge themselves, and help them find the self-confidence to do so." When she isn't tutoring, Deb is a dedicated and skilled craftsperson who makes custom handbags and other types of textile art.
