Experienced and Passionate English Tutor

Anna R.

I have my B.A. in English Literature with a minor in TESOL, a MAT in the teaching of Secondary Education with an English concentration, and I am TESOL certified. I love to teach and I have worked with over 1,000 students to boost their grades and confidence.

I have been tutoring English, ELL, and SAT prep officially for over a year, but my teaching journey began in middle school when I tutored an elementary student to help her improve her reading skills. My experiences in teaching include teaching private violin lessons online for over 3 1/2 years as well as teaching group violin classes in person, teaching elementary students tap and ballet, and working in-person with middle and high school students to help them boost their grades and confidence in English class.

My goal as a tutor is to simplify the material while also keeping the lessons engaging and interactive so your student can understand the material better, increase their grades, and complete homework and turn in essays with confidence. Every lesson is tailored to your student's needs, goals, interests, and skills.

During English/ELA lessons, I use interactive materials to create conversation, strengthen thinking, and enhance comprehension. I infuse creativity, fun, interaction, and critical thinking during lessons.

For SAT prep, I use prompting questions to help students understand the steps they must take to solve problems on their own. I am able to quickly diagnose weaknesses in the areas of time management, reading, writing, vocabulary, etc., and turn them into strengths through my guided practice exercises.
