About Grace Dunn
National Merit Scholar • Ivy League Student • Division I Athlete • Elite Test Prep Coach
Most great coaching programs begin with a problem.
Crownridge Coaching began with a transformation.
When Grace’s younger brother struggled with PSAT prep, nothing seemed to work — not big-name test prep courses, not generic online platforms, not endless practice tests.
So Grace built something better: a personalized, strategic system designed to target weak areas and build measurable improvement.
The result?
He jumped to the 99th percentile in every PSAT section.
And in that moment, Grace discovered something powerful:
She wasn’t just helping him study.
She was helping him perform.
That breakthrough became the foundation of Crownridge Coaching, where Grace Dunn now trains ambitious students nationwide using the same high-performance system.
Academic Excellence Meets Elite-Level Discipline
Grace doesn’t just teach test prep — she embodies high-level performance in every area of her life.
She graduated high school as valedictorian, earned National Merit Scholar distinction, and scored a perfect 800 on SAT Math. She was accepted early to Columbia University, where she studied Financial Economics and Psychology, consistently earning Dean’s List honors.
At the same time, she competed as a Division I varsity swimmer, balancing 20+ hours of weekly training with Ivy League academics.
This rare combination — academic mastery, athletic discipline, and a deep understanding of psychology — is what makes her approach to one-on-one SAT, ACT, and PSAT tutoring uniquely effective.
Parents often say, “Grace Dunn isn’t just a tutor — she’s a performance coach.”
And students say, “She taught me how to think, not just how to take a test.”
A Proven System, Not Just Study Tips
Grace’s results — including her own perfect SAT Math score — didn’t come from talent alone.
They came from a structured, repeatable system based on:
diagnostic testing and score analysis
targeted lesson plans built around student weaknesses
performance psychology techniques used by elite athletes
timed drills that build speed, accuracy, and confidence
strategies that eliminate careless errors and test-day anxiety
This is the same system that helped her brother, and now helps students nationwide earn top-percentile scores and college admission to selective universities.
Grace Dunn’s approach reflects the best practices parents search for online: personalized instruction, data-driven progress, mindset coaching, proven score increases, and elite academic background.
