"Hello! My name is Anya, and I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals. I graduated summa cum laude with majors in English and Spanish and am currently pursuing a master’s in Harp Performance and Musicology. My diverse academic background allows me to bring creativity, expertise, and dedication to my tutoring approach.

I have over six years of tutoring experience, including three years at a tutoring agency during college and ongoing freelance tutoring. I’ve worked with students ages 4-22 in English, Math (up to Geometry), Science (up to high school), and History and English (through college-level).

I specialize in English, SAT/ACT prep, and essay writing, helping my students achieve impressive results—an average increase of 3-4 points on the ACT and 150-200 points on the SAT. I also tutor AP courses, including AP Literature, AP Language and Composition, AP Spanish, AP Psychology, and AP Music Theory.

As an advanced Spanish speaker, I excelled in AP Spanish, studied abroad in Spain, and have tutored Spanish since high school. I’m confident in helping students strengthen their language skills and succeed in AP Spanish coursework.

One of my strengths is essay preparation, particularly for college applications. My experience as a college newspaper editor and having my essays published helps students craft compelling, polished essays that stand out.

I also specialize in working with students who have ADHD, ADD, anxiety, depression, dyslexia, and learning disabilities. My patient, encouraging approach ensures that each student feels supported and empowered in their learning journey.

My teaching philosophy focuses on patience, encouragement, and personalized strategies to meet each student’s unique needs. Whether you’re preparing for exams, improving your writing, or mastering a subject, I’m here to guide you. Let’s work together to unlock your full potential!" less...
