Real teachers. That’s the whole difference.

Karns & Noble isn’t an app or a franchise. Every class is taught by Rachel Karns and Christine Noble—two certified ELA teachers who know exactly how the Reading & Writing section thinks, and how to make it click for a nervous student.

That’s why our students average a 120-point SAT score lift, and why parents tell us it was worth every penny.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

The kids who sat in the chair.

“The teachers explained concepts I struggle with in class and made them very clear. I learned so much in such a short span.”

Jake H.

CHS student

“I felt very confident in Reading and Writing—I remembered and used a lot of the tools we learned in class.”

Olivia

CHS student

“I learned about each section of the ELA. When I take the test, I’ll have confidence. The way they teach grammar made it worth it.”

Ella

CHS student

GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you enroll.

Still wondering about something? Contact us, a real teacher will answer.

Which program is right for my student?

Group classes suit self-directed students who like a little peer energy; one-on-one is best for specific gaps or a custom pace; the Pre-Test Add-On is a final tune-up the week of the test. Not sure? Start with a group class—it’s where most students begin.

Do you teach in person or online?

Both. In-person small groups (max 8) meet near Coeur d’Alene High School, and virtual groups (max 10) meet live online. One-on-one is offered either way.

What’s included in the price?

Four 2-hour sessions, the Princeton Review Digital 2026 textbook, grammar and mechanics review every session, and instruction from certified ELA teachers.

Do you cover Math, or just Reading & Writing?

Our core program focuses on SAT Reading & Writing (ELA), where our teachers specialize. Ask us about math support if your student needs it.

What if my student is the only one who signs up in person?

No problem—you can pick another in-person session, or join a virtual class at no additional charge.

Anything I need for a virtual class?

A Google email address to join, and please enroll at least one week before the start date so your materials arrive in time.
