Testimonials
“I can’t tell you how much Anne has impacted my life. We started working together when I was ten years old, and I attribute my success in school to her. As someone who has dealt with severe anxiety my entire life, Anne helped me manage and redirect my fear of failure into trusting my instincts. Anne guided me and was always patient, no matter how long it took me to understand a new or difficult concept. Not only did Anne work with me to get A’s on my essays, math tests, research projects, etc., she helped me achieve a 10 point increase on my ACT. From learning Geometry in 5th grade to writing college essays together, Anne and I have been through it all. Without her, I would not be the writer I am today, and I most definitely would not have the confidence I do now. If there’s one thing you can take away from Anne’s practice, it's that there’s no doubt you will succeed and grow as a student.”

“Anne was an incredibly supportive SAT tutor who made the whole process feel manageable and encouraging. She emphasized working through practice problems and full practice tests, which made a huge difference for me. Because of her, I saw real improvement in my scores and ultimately earned a 1550. I’m so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone preparing for the exam.”

“My daughter Sarah worked with Anne during the Pandemic, and her ACT score improved from a 22 to a 33 (11 points). Sarah needed help with math (in part to education gaps in the Pandemic), and Anne met my daughter's learning needs. Sarah lived abroad for five months in Spain, and Anne was able to tutor her over Zoom successfully. Sarah gained confidence from the dramatic improvement in her scores and test-taking skills. She discovered that when she works hard with the right tutor, she can succeed; her standardized test-taking skills will serve well beyond high school.”
