"Your low key, focused, encouraging approach has been the key to this outcome."

This letter is to express our family’s appreciation for the math tutoring you have provided to our daughter over the past several months.

Our daughter is a junior in the Edmonds-Woodway International Baccalaureate Program, which is academically challenging to begin with. While reading, verbal, and reasoning skills come to her relatively easily, math has always been challenging. Like many girls, she had come to see herself as “not good at math.” She was frustrated in class, feeling lost and behind, and afraid to ask for help. That had started to lead her in a downward trajectory of waning confidence and achievement.

While the initial reason we sought you out was to improve her quantitative SAT scores, we has ended up with much more. (And yes, she significantly improved her test score!) She is for the first time comfortable in math, enjoying it, and looking forward to calculus next year.

She has moved up a full letter grade since beginning her work with you.

Her perception of herself has changed—she now sees herself as good at math. What had been a limiting factor in terms of her academic and career prospects has been turned around.

Anya, your low key, focused, encouraging approach has been the key to this outcome. Our daughter has really enjoyed working with you. Thank you so much for helping our daughter.

Very sincerely yours,

S.M.L.

"His understanding and ability to work through problems has increased so dramatically"

When my son began tutoring with Anya this past spring, he was failing 8th grade algebra.  He had been struggling and we realized that we were unable to help him ourselves. He started seeing Anya weekly for an hour. He was able to make up significant ground and gain the understanding he was lacking. He continued with lessons through the summer and into 9th grade. His understanding and ability to work through problems has increased so dramatically that he currently has a high B+ in 9th grade algebra.

We made the difficult decision to discontinue Anya’s tutoring to focus on some other academic issues. While we are hopeful that the foundation and confidence that Anya has helped Corey build will enable him to continue being successful in math, we will not hesitate to ask her to help him again the moment he has difficulties.

Thank you,

H.L.

"I do not know if I could have achieved this level of success without Anya's help."

To whom it may concern:

I am writing to recommend Anya Doyle as a tutor for anyone studying mathematics. As an undergraduate in college, I wanted to apply for a Ph.D. program in the Humanities, but I dreaded the mathematics section of the GRE. I scored an abysmal 350 on the first practice exam I took, in the bottom 6th percentile of all test takers. I turned to Anya for help.

Anya guided me through nothing less than a re-introduction to all of the mathematical concepts tested on the GRE. We dealt with arithmetic, algebra, geometry, Cartesian graphs, probability, and a variety of other disciplines, all of which she eased me into deftly and patiently. Despite my aversion to mathematics, which I did not refrain from vocalizing on many occasions, she found a way to explain even those ideas that I resisted most stubbornly. When her first few attempts at explaining an idea did not get through, she would indefatigably seek and find a new approach, another model to help me understand. She remained good-natured at all times, although I was usually grumpy and annoyed. Most remarkably, no matter how many explanations failed to reach me, she could always think of a new tactic until I finally understood. Her natural gifts for teaching, including her extraordinary patience, make her an excellent tutor, both for difficult students like me and for those who share her enthusiasm for the material.

After weeks of tutoring with Anya, I took the official GRE and scored 700 on the mathematics section. My scores helped me gain admission to the Ph.D. program in Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Chicago, where I am now in my first year of graduate study. I have been awarded a five-year fellowship to assist me in completing the program. I do not know if I could have achieved this level of success without Anya’s help.

"I have been very impressed with the quality of teaching that my daughter receives"

To whom it may concern,

It is with pleasure and great confidence that I recommend Anya Doyle for a teaching position.

In the beginning of the school year my daughter was struggling with both Pre-Calculus and Chemistry classes and felt completely overwhelmed by the material. Ms Doyle came highly recommended so we decided meet with her. I must admit that my daughter was more than a little reluctant to meet with a tutor. Eventually she agreed to give it a try once and it if she did not find the session helpful she did not have to continue. At the end of the first session I inquired whether the session was helpful and whether she wanted to set up another appointment, she said yes to both questions and we have seen Ms. Doyle weekly since. My daughter has maintained A’s in both of these classes, much of which we credit to Ms Doyle’s teaching. Ms. Doyle brings an enthusiasm to Math and Science that is refreshing and offers practical applications in her explanations. This has made a marked difference to my daughters understanding of the subjects.

I have been very impressed with the quality of teaching that my daughter receives and I am pleased to provide this input about Ms. Doyle. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have additional question.

Sincerely,

A.M., MS, LMFT

"I am highly recommending Anya Doyle as an instructor for any student."

To whom it may concern:

I am highly recommending Anya Doyle as an instructor for any student. She has been my son’s chemistry instructor for the past year. Her lengthy qualifications and expertise makes her an exceptional instructor. She not only is able to teach students but also gives them the understanding and reasoning behind what is being learned. Anya is very punctual and an extremely hard worker. Mrs. Doyle came to us highly recommended from previous students and instructors. We feel very fortunate to have her as our son’s instructor and would recommend her teaching skills to any other student.

Sincerely,

S.A.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check for answers to commonly asked queries

What should the student bring?

The more problems, homework, and sample tests you bring the better. And if course book, pencil, and paper. If you use a calculator for tests let’s use the same one to practice with.   Anything you can email to me in advance of our meeting can only help you get the most out of our time together.

How long are the appointments?

Appointments last an academic hour of 50 minutes, although if there is time I often go an extra few minutes.

How do I keep track of appointments?

I usually send out appointment reminder emails the day before. A quick thanks to let me know you’re coming is great but no response does mean that I think you’re coming.  The emails have the date and time of the appointment as the subject.

Do I need anything special for virtual meetings?

It is possible to have productive meetings with only the camera and audio meeting.  But it is better if the student has a digital pen and notetaking app so I can see what you are writing.

What if I need to cancel an appointment?

Please give 24 hours’ notice. If less than 24 hours’ notice please pay the full amount.  Exceptions in cases of emergency like sudden illness or weather.  Although even in an emergency please let me know you won’t be available.

I need to reschedule more than 24 hours in advance.

No problem! Weekends and weekdays before 3 typically have the most availability. After school weekdays are the most in demand and the hardest to get on short notice, but I’ll try!

How do I pay?

For in person students cash is preferred.

Students can also use Venmo or PayPal.

"I truly wish that Anya had been there for me when I was in high school."

I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Anya Doyle, who has served as our daughter’s math tutor over the past year. We first contacted Anya on a colleague’s recommendation for SAT preparation. But Tess, her father and I, have seen the value in continuing to work with her as our daughter tackles the challenges of advanced placement calculus at Edmonds Woodway High School.

While reading, verbal, and reasoning skills come easily to Tess, math had been a challenge.  Frustrated in class, she felt lost and behind, and afraid to ask for help. That had started to lead her down a trajectory of waning confidence and achievement.

Working with Anya, Tess significantly improved her quantitative performance on the SAT, and went from the verge of dropping precalculus to earning an A in her last quarter. As mentioned, she is currently enrolled in advanced placement calculus. Along the way, her perception of herself has changed—she now sees herself as good at math. What had been a limiting factor in terms of her academic and career prospects has been turned around.

We are extremely thankful for Anya’s ability to break math concepts down in a way that makes them easy to understand. Her method of teaching is clear, direct, and encouraging. She is personable, articulate, and professional without being intimidating. She accommodates Tess’s learning style in a way that has proven effective. We have bumped up the tutoring to twice a week because the course load at this point is heavy and because Tess is also a nationally competitive junior rower who spends 15 hours a week in practice. Not everything is easy, and we are also thankful for the work ethic that Anya supports us in instilling.

I cannot imagine your finding a math instructor more highly qualified, dedicated to working with youth, or a better role model, particularly for girls and young women, than Anya Doyle. I truly wish that Anya had been there for me when I was in high school.
