Success on standardized tests comes when students become accustomed to answering different types of test questions by completing practice tests with an experienced tutor who can explain how to read passages and select the right answers.

I also patiently help students with English and math assignments, and how to write quality essays and prepare for tests.

Very patient and knowledgeable tutor

Anne taught me a variety of different skills needed to take the GRE. We went over verbal and quantitative strategies. For example, for verbal we focused on word structures and breaking down sentences to understand the meaning of them. She gave me a handful of vocabulary words that were going to be on the GRE. She is very knowledgeable in quantitative. We went over lots of equations, special right triangles, slope of the line, circumference, and many many other tools needed to succeed on the test. She helped me remember a lot of math concepts I forgot about since highschool. Anne was always very flexible with the schedule and was available when I needed her. She was always on time for online meetings, patient and encouraging! Highly recommend :)

Anne C. is a wonder find!

Our daughter unfortunately caught Mononucleosis just weeks before finals. She lost an entire week of key school days on top of the toll of Mono exhaustion. We used Ann C. to help our her catch up and organize her focus for the NY state Geometry Regents examination. She was very accommodating and worked with us to maximize as much study as possible right up to the day before the exam. Anne reviewed the key topics of congruent triangles, similarity, properties of parallelograms, completing the square in an equation of a circle, volume word problems, trig ratios and proofs. Anne provided clear explanations and patiently went over how to do various Geometry Regents questions as a review to familiarize. I would definitely recommend Anne C. as a tutor for geometry but expect she’d be great in any other areas she offers.

Very helpful

I cannot thank Anne enough for what she is doing for my son. He says the teacher calls on him in Algebra class a lot now and he is able to answer correctly. The other students have asked my son how he knows so much math now.

Years of GRE knowledge

Anne is extremely familiar with the GRE and knows the ins and outs of the test. She steers you in the right direction with a strategy to get to the bottom of the question in front of you. She makes you see what is being asked clearer. You get past fluff and frivolous information that’s unnecessary and stealing your valuable time.

Excellent GRE Verbal Tutor - from a fellow Wyzant Tutor

I'm a fellow Wyzant tutor and I'm nothing short of impressed with Anne as a GRE tutor. I started out with a 151 in Verbal. Anne helped me pick apart the text completion and sentence equivalence questions and gave me a list of need-to-know vocabulary words that proved super helpful. She knows the GRE very well and she always comes prepared to our sessions. On test day, I ended up with a 165 on my Verbal, which placed me in the 95th percentile! Overall, I got a 322 on my GRE! Thank you!
