Personal Statement

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,...

In awe in her of her approach and how she handles the content in a way that has encouraged my son. Have not taken the ACT yet but believe he will make great progress.

Anna taught me SAT test strategy and went through SAT questions to break them down and to teach me how to best answer them. Super energetic, positive and professional. Worth every penny

I have two kids who recently started working with Anna. One of them fired five ACT / SAT tutors before Anna was recommended to us. She was about to give up on standardized testing. She has had three sessions with Anna and what a difference in a very short time! Anna has specific, proven strategies that are working. She is the perfect balance between professional and relatable. Both of my kids have a lot of respect for her and based on practices test scores I'm seeing, I expect to see significant improvement on the next test.

We had only two days before our child's PSAT. He really hoped for a score high enough to qualify him for National Merit. He had taken a practice SAT before and did not do that great - well not enough to qualify him for the goal he had set for himself. Honestly, it was looking a little grim at the time. Anna was amazing. She understood the time constraint (2 days), but this did not deter her. She assessed what he needed to work on and wasted no time tackling head on the problem areas. She also provided additional notes and resources that would help him. That one hour boosted him 100 points in two days! We got his PSAT score back yesterday, and he scored a 740 out of 760 on the verbal. It put his score where he qualified for National Merit consideration. Anna is a truly talented teacher who provides meaningful direction and encouragement yielding impressive results. We cannot thank Anna enough for her positivity and can-do spirit!

I can't say enough about Anna's approach and guidance in working with my daughter. Before working with Anna, she was struggling. She was stuck even after taking two other in-person "courses." Anna took a completely different approach by focusing on her test "strategy." This was a game-changer, and the proof is in the scores. Her first time taking the ACT after one month of working with Anna raised her score by 3 points! Amazing result! I highly recommend Anna to anyone looking to move the needle. It was worth every penny!

My son took 9 lessons with Anna on SAT reading/writing and his score increased from 680 to 770 over the summer. We are very thankful that we found Anna as a tutor. She is very easy to learn from and she teaches important tips on test taking skills. Very grateful and we will continue our education journey with her.
- Jae L. from Aldie, VA
Our twins required some helpful guidance with the SAT reading passage. Anna wasted no time devising a plan to fit our boys needs. Our boys were engaged throughout the multiple lessons we had with her and found her methods very helpful. They saw efficacy through their rising scores. Thank you Anna, we will reach out to you again real soon!

Amazing ACT tutor?? Anna. my daughter took her lessons in 3 weeks and English got 7 points increase, reading 5 points increase. She is scheduling to take more lessons with her again. Thanks
- Qing Z. from Las Vegas, NV
My son began his weekly ACT session with Anna C in May 2023. You will not go wrong with Anna C. My son's ACT mock test improved dramatically since May. My child is not the most focused studious kid. Anna is constantly interacting my child so he does not stray away from the topic during the lesson. Anna just told him last week that we should be shooting for a perfect score on the ACT in September and it is very possible. I was shocked to see how far he has come since he took his PSAT in the Fall of 2022. He has gained incredible confidence from Anna. She is his biggest cheerleader. Anna is worth every penny. I will be using Anna for my young child.

Anna is really good at what she teaches Very passionate about what she teaches the students, I would recommend her for English/Science/Reading/Math ACT/SAT sections Without any hesitation
- Hemlata K. from Apex, NC
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!
- Bojan G. from Chicago, IL
My son has been tutoring with Anna weekly for over 4 months. Lessons are well planned, organized and targeted. Anna assigns work in between lessons (necessary for progress) and holds my son accountable, assuring positive results. She is flexible and generous with her time. Her teaching style is relatable to young people, and she motivates with genuine confidence in her student's ability. Anna knows the material well and offers many relative resources. You get what you pay for with Anna C. and our experience has been 100% positive.
- Nicole V. from Braintree, MA
Anna was incredibly amazing, I was stuck at the same score on the SAT, and Anna used unique, logical yet easy-to-apply strategies to help me greatly increase my score! She is incredibly easy to work with, creative, friendly, and an overall amazing tutor!
- Maya S. from Great Falls, VA
My Son had only 4 sessions with her. She helped him a lot with timing and gave great tips for managing time. I saw him very confident after the TEST and I wished we found her earlier.
- Ruwanthi P. from Columbia, MD
Anna. C helped me prepare for my SATs and did a phenomenal job helping me understand the format and tricks of the test. She always worked with me on every question I missed, and even questions that I got right but was confused on. After each tutoring session, I retained a new set of skills and strategies that helped me on my tests.
- Ryan K. from Rockwall, TX
Anna is fantastic! After just a few sessions with Anna my son has seen noticeable improvement in his SAT performance. He?s found this immediate improvement really motivating and looks forward to his meetings with Anna. Thank you, Anna!
- Anita R. from Weston, MA
Anna is knowledgeable, patient, and kind. My daughter is now a confident test taker. Anna provides the tools that students need to achieve success. My daughter enjoys working with Anna on a weekly basis.
- Brooke S. from Mesa, AZ
Miss Anna has helped me learn efficient strategies for the reading and writing sections. She is helping me improve my time for the passages and my accuracy and her strategies have really helped me by just having a few classes. She is amazing and always answers all the questions I have.
- Anil D. from Princeton, NJ
My daughter was struggling in improving her scores on the SAT exam. Her previous tutors were good but not conveying the material or strategies in a way she could relate and pass the 1380 mark. I opted to get her a different tutor and after interviewing many SAT tutors on Wyzant I selected Anna C. I knew we hit the jackpot. Anna has an amazing understanding of the inner workings of the SAT exam, especially the reading section. She teaches material and strategy simultaneously. Though her hourly rate is higher than other tutors she is worth it. She not only teaches content but she shows you how to isolate the answer for the MCQs. That's key. The exam is a strategy test.. not a real English and math test Anna is tireless. She is committed to my daughter's success and is not watching the clock. She wants to make sure you end the session at a natural point and are able to later digest and apply what she taught. She has patience of steel. She not only provides a write up of each lesson as required but she will answer every question my daughter had and converse with me on text after each lesson until I've exhausted all my questions. I can say as an instructor myself that she embodies what a true professional instructor is. She is patient, knowledgeable, conversant, interesting, committed and genuine. My daughter may not get a 1600 on the exam. That's ok! But I know she had the best instruction money can buy. We hired Anna for over 8 one hour sessions. So my recommendation is based on much interaction with Anna. Thank you Anna. For everything!
- Nathan R. from Cedar Grove, NJ
In just a few lessons with Anna, I was able to bring my ACT composite score up 2 points. Anna was very encouraging, and her lessons and strategies were extremely helpful. In the past, I have used other prep methods, but her lessons were by far the most useful to me when it came to preparing for and retaking the test. Anna was flexible and worked around my schedule, the one-on-one lessons were tailored to the areas I needed to focus on, and the recommended assignments between sessions were very doable and extremely helpful. I would highly encourage anyone looking to increase their test scores to connect with Anna!
