Anna
Friendly, Experienced Teacher and Ivy Leaguer: Math, English, Spanish
I've been teaching and tutoring math for the past eight years, first in New York, and now here in California. I graduated from Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in English, but then became a math teacher, earning a Master's degree in Math Education. I am very well-rounded as a tutor; I can help any middle school, high school, or college student with their homework and test scores in most subjects.

Anna met with my son and he immediately felt connected to her. His teacher was delivering Algebra 2 at an advanced conceptual level, and my son was not able to receive the information. Some of his classmates sought tutoring and their tutors were not able to do some of the homework! His self-confidence took a dive and he was tuning out - a vicious cycle had started. After the February break, his grade was hovering at C minus/D plus range. We started with Anna in mid April and after 17 sessions, meeting on a regular basis and a few up to 2 hours, my son achieved an 80%! A solid B minus for the second semester! Anna was very flexible in finding times to meet, she worked through problems that were challenging so she could coach my son, provided him some reliable tools to approach problems, and most importantly, she gave my son back his self-confidence. He said "I feel like I am smart again". We are forever grateful to her and highly recommend her.

We are happy with Anna, especially my daughter. She likes how she explains the math problems and she is very easy to learn from. My daughter feels she is really understanding math better now. I would recommend Anna as a tutor.
