What defines me as a classroom teacher was my love of interacting with my students and the care provided in working individually to prepare them for the exam. My one-on-one afterschool sessions and evening group work were highly attended and resulted in very successful exams scores with a consistent 85% passing rate over the years. Students returning from college regularly comment that my classroom was where they learned to write for the college level!

During my one-to-one session, I coach students on all portions of the exam with particular attention to close reading skills and written responses. Over my years of serving as a "reader" for the AP US History exam, I have read and graded thousands of DBQ, LEQ and Short Answer Question (SAQ) responses applying the current Writing Rubrics. Using the resources at my disposal for practice in tutoring sessions, I ensure that students master the various elements of good essay writing included thesis development, analyzing primary and secondary source evidence and incorporating argumentation to support their analysis.

I look forward to discussing your particular needs as a student and crafting sessions to best support your work. Please contact me to learn more about how I can help. I am very flexible with my time and hope to hear from you soon!

Great tutor, helped me excel & get a 5

Anna taught me a lot about the different parts of the AP exam. She has lots of practice materials and great tips that helped me with the different essays. APUSH DBQs and LEQs were much easier after Anna gave me some advice on how to write theses and analyze evidence. She knows her history very well and was able to answer all my questions. Thanks to Anna, I felt well prepared to take the 2021 US History AP exam and received a 5. Thank you!

Beyond helpful!

My son worked with Anna for several months to strengthen his writing skills and prepare for the upcoming AP exam. His confidence with both the material and writing demands increased. Even his classroom teacher noted the differences in his essays as well as his participation in classroom discussions. Thank you for all of your help Anna!

Very knowledgable, efficient and effective

She tutored our son in APUSH. She was able to help him focus on what was important and the discussions they had really increased his understanding of the material. She has tons of experience and knowledge with APUSH and was very valuable to us. He became a much better APUSH student because of her help.
