I'm a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology in Economics and Computer Science. I was also accepted at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford. I have a broad range of interests spanning science, math, engineering, social science, the humanities, the arts, and athletics (I also played on the Caltech basketball team). My background allows me to tutor general college prep, especially the SAT, ACT and the GRE. I love to teach analytical thinking, ranging from advanced Math and Physics to strategies for understanding literature and developing arguments.

I'm Anna! I'm currently a student in the MD/MBA program between Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and the Kellogg School of Management, and graduated from Northwestern University as part of the Honors Program in Medical Education. I attended the Bergen County Academies in New Jersey, a selective, application-based magnet school, for high school.
I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in violin performance at the Juilliard School. I have tutored privately and through Chegg Tutoring, Varsity Tutors, PrepExpert, and iLearn World throughout high school and college, with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges. I believe that a good teacher not only helps a student tackle specific, formulaic kinds of questions, but also imparts the skills necessary for adapting to the diverse intellectual challenges that life presents. My goal is always for my students to leave their sessions having learned something that will be useful for years to come, not just on the next test that they are preparing for. After all, education is a lifelong process!
I am a recent graduate of Columbia University's American Studies MA program. I received my undergraduate degree at NYU in Journalism and Africana Studies. I have over 2 years experience helping students in NYC. I love reading, writing, and social and cultural analysis.
I am a Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology graduate and currently attend Vanderbilt University majoring in Computer Engineering with a minor in Business. I've tutored in various subjects for about 6 years now. I've done it so much, one of the companies I started was tutoring-based. In all, I am a technology-oriented entrepreneur, an impact-driven member of the community, and a striving academic. My passion for computer engineering and dedication to solving the world's problems push me to continue to be better tomorrow than I am today. I am currently pursuing a career in engineering and business where I hope to improve the lives of those around me every step of the way.
I am currently a student at Cornell University. At Cornell, I have maintained a 3.88 GPA and made the Dean's List every semester. I attended a small private high school and graduated at the top of my class with a 4.0 GPA (unweighted). My ACT Composite score was 34, and I am an AP Scholar with Honors.
I'm looking forward to helping your student find personal success in their academic lives!
I am now a medical student at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
I am a recent graduate of Rhodes College, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience with a minor in Chemistry and English. After graduation, I have remained close to academia by auditing classes in the areas of Anatomy and Physiology, Organ Systems, Histology, Embryology, and Neuroscience.
I'm Annelisa, originally from Phoenix, Arizona. I recently graduated from Yale University, where I studied art and its interactions with political journalism and science. I'm happy to tutor on a wide range of subjects, especially writing, college application, and the SAT!
I am an educator for more than 25 years of experience at both K-12 and university levels. I got my PhD in Education from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee in 2017, and my master's in Educational Leadership in Higher Education from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in 2014. Besides, I have Bachelor and Master's degrees in the English Language and Literature from the University of Jordan.
I am currently a student at Dartmouth College studying Biology, with a concentration on Human Biology. I tutor many subjects, but specialize in standardized test prep and in science, particularly Biology at all levels. I am most passionate about science, it is my favorite subject because it always has a definite answer but it might not be what you expect. At Dartmouth, I am a member of the marching band, Emergency Medical Services, and the sustainability program.

Frequently Asked Questions
Spelling tutors work with students across all grade levels, from elementary students just beginning phonics and sight words, to high schoolers preparing for standardized tests or tackling subject-specific vocabulary in sciences, history, and literature. Each tutoring relationship is personalized based on a student's current skill level, learning style, and specific challenges—whether that's basic phoneme-grapheme connections or advanced spelling patterns in complex, multi-syllabic words.
Many students struggle with inconsistent spelling rules in English—why "receive" uses "ei" but "deceive" follows the same pattern, yet exceptions abound. Others have difficulty with homophones (their/there/they're), silent letters, or words with unexpected pronunciations. Students with dyslexia or auditory processing differences may need specific strategies like visual mnemonics or multisensory techniques. A spelling tutor can diagnose which patterns are causing difficulty and provide targeted practice to build automaticity.
Accurate spelling removes barriers between a student's ideas and the reader, ensuring clarity and professionalism. When spelling is automatic, students can focus mental energy on higher-level writing skills like organization, word choice, and argument development rather than worrying about letter sequences. Research in writing development shows that fluent spelling frees up cognitive resources for composition and revision—students become more confident writers overall.
Effective spelling tutors use multisensory and pattern-based approaches tailored to how each student learns best. Common strategies include teaching etymology and word roots, using visual and phonetic cues, practicing retrieval with spaced repetition, and connecting spelling to reading and writing in context. Rather than memorizing random word lists, students learn the "why" behind spelling patterns—such as prefix and suffix rules, morphology, and how letter combinations represent sounds—so they can apply knowledge to unfamiliar words.
Yes. Strong spelling skills directly support performance on standardized tests, where writing sections are scored partly on mechanics and conventions. Additionally, confident spelling reduces test anxiety and allows students to write more fluently during timed essays. Tutors can also teach test-specific strategies, like proofreading techniques and common spelling errors to watch for, helping students maximize their scores on writing assessments.
Spelling tutors are familiar with grade-level expectations and curricula, so they can reinforce what students are already studying while filling in gaps or accelerating progress. If a student's school follows a particular phonics scope and sequence or focuses on specific word families or patterns, tutors can build on that foundation with personalized practice and feedback. This alignment ensures that tutoring complements classroom instruction rather than working at cross-purposes.
With consistent, personalized instruction, most students see measurable improvement in spelling accuracy within a few weeks, and significant progress in automaticity and confidence within a few months. Expected outcomes include mastery of grade-level spelling patterns, improved performance on classroom tests and written assignments, reduced errors in independent writing, and greater writing confidence. Long-term, students develop the ability to recognize and self-correct spelling errors and apply spelling rules to new, unfamiliar words.
