“Anna helped me fix my frustration with school and the feeling of not being enough. She guided me to a new perspective on why I shouldn’t give up on college. 

She consistently helped me concentrate on my homework when I was easily distracted and overwhelmed on my own by organizing live co-study sessions.

She supported me on my bachelor’s thesis and related subjects like theology, spirituality, and philosophy, helping me think more deeply and recommending authors whose ideas can support my work.

She also coached my musical hobbies by giving me professional feedback on my recordings, which encourages me to keep improving.”

Viktorie Vašíčková -Czech Republic

The help that Anna gave me during my first year of university was invaluable. I was the first in my family to go to university in a country to which we had immigrated to and I initially felt rather lost and overwhelmed. Having already obtained a degree, Anna continuously provided me with support and guidance, helping me through procedures, listening to my concerns, giving me advice regarding study methods, and establishing a work/life balance. Without her help, I would have never been able to adjust to student life as well as I did, and she helped me find the confidence and peace of mind I needed to have a truly full and enriching experience.

From an academic standpoint, Anna has an extremely solid work ethic, which she has always been willing to share with me entirely, constantly encouraging me to aim for the most ambitious goals and helping me to work towards such an achievement.

Anna has always listened to me when I had a personal issue that I wanted to share with someone. Being closer to my age than most of my family, I consider her a big sister whom I can share everything with, including things I don’t necessarily feel comfortable sharing with other friends and even family. She has never judged me but always provided me with support, comfort, as well as the insight and wisdom which her own experience has permitted her to attain. 

Anna has incessantly supported my own cultural pursuits, providing all sorts of educational resources and explaining points I may have had questions on. Without her encouragement, I doubt I would have been able to develop my own current literary interests to the extent that I have today.”

Student Testimonials


"When I started working with Anna, I did not know very much about Mexican culture, except for the little I learned from some of my childhood friends. Anna did a fantastic job of incorporating information about the culture of Mexico into our lessons in a way that I found very enjoyable. I especially loved learning about some of the traditions and pop culture, as well as the history of certain landmarks in Mexico, while incorporating new vocabulary. Anna also took the time to incorporate her knowledge about my culture into our lessons and took time to incorporate speaking and grammar practice, focusing on explanations of certain cultural or political phenomena here in the US. She was very sensitive to the changes that have taken place in this country over the last few years, which I also appreciated, especially as someone in a marginalized community myself."

“Anna gave me a lot of new cultural insights I wouldn't have otherwise had. I always appreciated her cultural focus in lessons and materials. I feel like I got to know Mexico in general through her lessons. And since Anna speaks English and understands American culture so well, she was able to identify with me during lessons easily.”

— Calvin Adams

“Ana is a fantastic teacher and an even better person! Over the course of many conversations, Ana and I have formed an ever-expanding world made of our shared and divergent cultures. Ana’s natural interest, curiosity, and humor always leave us with more to talk about.”

— Gianna Garcia

“Working with Anna has been nothing short of an exceptional and enriching experience. As a beginner, I deeply appreciate her ability to create a supportive and engaging learning environment that builds both confidence and competence. Her teaching approach goes beyond language instruction, as Anna commits to fostering a cultural exchange. She thoughtfully integrates cultural understanding, allowing me to connect more deeply with my Cuban heritage while also learning about her Mexican culture. Her professionalism, patience, and passion for teaching are evident in every session. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a tutor who combines linguistic expertise with cultural depth and genuine care for her students’ growth.”

— Jamie Kaufman

Learning with Anna has been a cultural exchange that feels genuinely mutual. She’s taken the time to understand where I come from while patiently and passionately helping me understand Mexican culture. It’s rare to find someone who can teach with such kindness, clarity, and cultural sensitivity. I’m lucky to have her as a teacher.”
