Bio

I have helped hundreds students boost their SAT & ACT scores! Many of my students now attend schools including Yale, Cornell, and the U.S. Naval Academy. These results come from hundreds of hours of experience breaking down SAT and ACT problems into simple, easy-to-understand steps. During my lessons, I use prompting questions to help students understand the steps they must take to solve problems on their own.

I have helped hundreds students boost their SAT & ACT scores! Many of my students now attend schools including Yale, Cornell, and the U.S. Naval Academy. These results come from hundreds of hours of experience breaking down SAT and ACT problems into simple, easy-to-understand steps. During my lessons, 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, math, vocabulary, etc., and turn them into strengths though my guided practice exercises.

I worked as a professional SAT/ACT and Elementary Tutor for Huntington Learning Center before joining Wyzant's platform. I have also guided students though the college admissions process. I have helped many of them improve their personal statements and application essays to reflect their stunning talent and persistent dedication.

When I do have free time, I would almost always rather be tutoring! Lessons with me are fun and engaging, and your student will become well acquainted with the feeling of success after the very first lesson. I am currently a licensed attorney and a 2017 graduate of BYU's J. Reuben Clark School of Law. During my time there, I was a lead editor of the Education Law Journal. I received a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education in April 2012 from Brigham Young University.

Worth every penny

My son started working with Anna in advance of the April ACT. They met twice a week, sometimes once a week, and she assigned weekly homework for him to do. I could tell that they hit it off because he never complained about the lessons or the homework. His results came in last week and he improved by 4 points! We had tried different tutoring services in the past, including one of the “guaranteed” classes from a name brand provider, but this was the first time we saw a meaningful improvement. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone that is looking to boost their ACT score. Thanks, Anna!

We’re incredibly grateful for your guidance and support throughout my daughter’s first ACT attempt. From the very beginning, you provided effective strategies, structured daily study plans, and consistent follow-ups that kept her focused and motivated! Your ability to break down real practice questions, thoughtfully pace each section, and teach with clarity made a tremendous difference! Achieving a 34 on the ACT, especially on her first try was beyond anything we expected! We’re absolutely thrilled with the result and truly believe your dedication played a key role in this success. Thank you for being such a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and encouraging tutor. If any of you’re aiming for top-tier universities and still struggling to hit your target score, we highly recommend giving her a try, her support truly delivers results!

Elite ACT/SAT Tutor - Thank You For Helping Me Achieve a 36 ACT

Anna, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your exceptional tutoring. Thanks to your guidance, my composite ACT score increased from a 34 to a 36. Your advice on how to take the test and your overall encouragement truly made a significant difference for me. Your positive attitude and kindness made our sessions together a wonderful experience. I especially appreciate your willingness to work with me at any time, whether it was early on a Saturday morning or late on a Wednesday evening. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. I would highly recommend you above all others to any serious student looking to improve their ACT or SAT scores. Sincerely, Wesley

1550 goal achieved, thanks to Anna

Our daughter will be applying to top-level universities in the fall, but her initial SAT score of 1410 was not competitive. Honestly, we were skeptical that a 140-point jump was even possible in the 2.5 months she had to retake the SAT. Anna, however, calmly expressed confidence that it is was indeed possible, by taking certain very specific steps that seemed doable even with an extremely busy academic and extracurricular schedule; not easy, but doable. Also, I had suggested that we wait to retake the test in the fall, to allow more time (6 months). Anna explained why this might not be a good idea. It was clear that Anna had been there done that. She also clearly understands the teenage brain. Weekly meetings followed, on the same day and time. Homework assignments and drills using explicit test-taking strategies, together with a mock test each weekend, went like clockwork. I listened in on one of the lessons and was impressed with Anna's enthusiasm and energy, on top of her methodical and easily grasped steps. It was obvious that she had her own method, developed through hard experience. She did not relent or flag, but I think what really set Anna apart was the hopeful tone that she imparted on our daughter throughout - this is no small feat. Anna is a true professional, and most importantly, she delivered; the result speaks for itself. We recommend her 100%.

Great ACT Tutor

Anna really helped improve ACT scores especially for the English portion. She taught really good strategies and helped me understand the questions better. After each session, I was better at both time management and technique application. She is also super nice and patient.

Incredible SAT Tutor 1580!

Anna has a unique tutoring methodology that efficiently pinpoints your students needs and corrects them. In addition she is kind and patient and your student will enjoy the sessions. Most importantly, she is results oriented / focused and in a very short time frame she was able to bring my son up to a 1580. His main issue was reading, which is not always easy to improve, and they had to work intensely, but Anna did it! Highly, highly recommend.

Terrific Tutor!

My son says Anna is a very special SAT reading tutor. She is extremely detail oriented, meticulous, structured, and he appreciates the analysis and timing info she helps him with, yet she is kind, enthusiastic, and an encouraging cheerleader. He is truly learning a lot from Anna in a very productive manner. We highly recommend Anna!
