Education was the highest priority in my household. My parents always stressed the importance of schooling to be successful later in life. Sciences especially chemistry was a complicated subject for me when it was first introduced to me during secondary school. It was a teacher with the blessed skill of making complicated concepts simple who kindled my scientific and teaching interest in me. The impact was so profound that I decided to pursue a chemistry education after my Master’s in chemistry. During those years I used to picture myself teaching in a school located far away from where I live in an urban setting surrounded by students of diverse cultures. The dream came true twice once when I took up a teaching position in Dubai and next in October 2001, marking a new journey in my life as a high school science teacher at NJ, United States.
Looking back at all these years as a chemistry teacher at NJ, I am very proud to have been able to make a remarkable dent in my students' lives and the new science teachers I mentored. In recognition of the devotion to education and making a positive difference in the lives of students on May 9, 2019, Roberts Charitable Foundation presented the Outstanding Teaching Award by the Monmouth University School of Education. I was nominated by a Monmouth University senior Chemistry student for remarkable teaching proficiency and dedication to education. She was my AP Chemistry student during the 2014-15 school year. was also awarded the Governor "teacher of the year" award from my high school during the 2021-22 academic year.
I also tutor chemistry and AP chemistry online. I have had students from my neighborhood schools and I start preparing them from July of each year. The students who were doing chemistry last year performed well in the college board exam

Very knowledgable and patient tutor

Anna is very knowledgeable and patient tutor, my son missed few classes at school and Anna was able to teach him all the concepts very efficiently. I certainly recommend her as a tutor

BEST TEACHER!!

I’ve gone through a couple tutors on Wyzant and this is by far the best one. She teaches the material very well and I learn very quick. She teaches with my teacher taught in a week in an hour, and I understand it much better!!! I got an A+ on my last chemistry test because of her

Knowledgeable and Helpful Tutor

Anna helped me with Lewis Structures, and gave me a better understanding. One thing I like is that she has you do most of the work on your own, so you actually learn, rather than getting the information given to you over and over. She certainty knows her stuff about chemistry, and I would recommend her to anyone who like help and learn more about a certain chem topic. Thank you Anna!

Knowledgeable and engaging, effective tutor

My daughter needed help with upcoming AP Chemistry test on units she was finding very difficult to study. Ms. Anna helped her understand the concepts and also get a strong understanding of application of topics. She made learning and grasping daunting topics very easy. She is an awesome teacher. She is very thorough and effective in preparation for AP Chemistry.

Simplifies concepts very well and is patient!

Mid-semester, I was consistently receiving B’s on my exams and began to develop a lack of interest for chemistry class. However, Mrs. Anna helped me rekindle my motivation to thoroughly understand each concept and perform well. Her explanations are very easy to follow along with and she always gives the most helpful tips. For example, when I was struggling to balance chemical equations, Mrs. Anna showed me a shortcut that essentially allowed me to get a 99% on my most recent exam! She is able to teach anything well, whether it be homework problems, textbook exercises, or simply topics listed in a study guide. If you are looking to learn ahead but do not have the materials to do so, Mrs. Anna also has topic lessons prepared. Unlike many tutors who simply spend the entire class delivering lectures, she runs through examples and therefore practices active recall, the most effective high-yield learning technique. And while many tutors may be excellent teachers, they can often be condescending and impatient. That is not the case with Mrs. Anna. If I am struggling to grasp a particular concept, she remains calm and provides extra guidance. Last week, I was drained after finishing a difficult calculus final and felt bit drowsy during the lesson. She noticed and was extremely understanding. To receive that kindness was very reassuring. Now, rather than having to work extra for an A, I only need to score a low C in order to maintain an A in the class, not to mention that I already have a strong understanding of each chapter already, thanks to Mrs. Anna. This would not have been possible without her help. So again, I want to thank Mrs. Anna for allowing me do much better in chemistry and would like to encourage other students to work with her for great results as well!
