Anna G.

Anna is a graduate of NYU with a major in Chemistry and a minor in Biology. Anna is a retired certified science teacher with decades of experience teaching Chemistry and Biology. Anna’s goal in life is to nurture and bring out everyone’s innate love of science in as many generations as she can get her hands on.
Anna loves distilling complex scientific concepts to simple intuitive and testable ideas that lead the students to their own “eureka” moments, as that kind of learning not only ensures excellent grades, but stays with the child for life, inspiring confidence and the courage to explore new ideas. Anna’s big dream is for the future Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry to thank her in their acceptance speech. But she will settle for her tutees celebrating their above mentioned excellent grades and remembering fondly her tales of safety precautions and scientific glory.
