Meet Anna
Anna brings a holistic approach to education, focusing on understanding each student’s unique learning style and building a strong rapport. She believes that true success comes from creating sustainable strategies that not only build skills but also foster intrinsic motivation and a lifelong love of learning.
With years of experience in diverse educational settings, Anna has taught in the NYC public school system as a special education teacher, developed curriculum for classrooms and nonprofits, and led small writing classes for homeschoolers. She also founded a homeschool academic co-op and has been a homeschooler herself for six years. Her deep understanding of special education, particularly with students with dyslexia, autism, and ADHD, informs her tailored and empathetic approach to tutoring.
After moving to Portland, Anna discovered the joy of one-on-one and small group tutoring. This setting allows her to inspire true engagement and help students achieve meaningful growth. Whether she’s providing academic coaching, supporting reading and writing development, or teaching math, Anna’s goal is to empower her students with confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
