About Ana
A former college lecturer with an M.A. in Rhetoric and Composition, I studied nonfiction writing at Columbia University and was part of the team that trained Gemini, Google’s AI chat. My tutoring service was set up to help students meet today’s unique demands. Education I started my postsecondary education at Bard College, studying the liberal arts with a focus in creative writing, particularly poetry. I then transferred to Colorado College, another liberal arts institution; there, I wrote a 95-page thesis and graduated with a B.A. in Comparative Literature after analyzing English and Spanish literature with an emphasis in theater. I went on to earn a Master’s in English with concentrations in rhetoric and composition, subfields focusing on argumentation and the teaching of writing. This graduate work especially focused on mental health texts and personal writing. Most recently, I studied in the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (Nonfiction) program at Columbia University. Tutoring and Teaching Experience I began tutoring in childhood, teaching a neighbor to read in elementary school and participating in a program in middle school wherein honors students helped struggling classmates with their homework. At Bard, I tutored peers in logic, and at Colorado College, I tutored elementary students in literacy. After finishing my undergraduate studies in 2015, I took on tutoring full time, branching out to include Spanish, math, social studies, and more, with students in preschool through graduate school. In 2018, I was hired at the elite test prep agency Revolution Prep to tutor for the SAT, ACT, and AP tests, which I did until leaving for graduate school. During my M.A. program, I assisted with university literature and history classes and taught my own sections of college composition. Upon graduation, I lectured at Texas State University along with continuing to tutor. I have also been a creative writing teaching artist at a summer camp for teenagers and at the Austin Public Library. Writing Experience My creative work has been published in Stone of Madness Press, Electric Literature, Bi Women Quarterly, The Spun Yarn, Odyssey Works, and Theatre is Easy. My work has also been used to train Google’s AI chatbot, Gemini.A

I value empathy, creativity, persistence, and flexibility and instill these values in my students along with good study habits and organization and communication strategies. I join with my students to meet their goals at their pace. I use a combination of the Socratic method (intentional questioning) and Rogerian education (student-centered learning), bringing out the best in my students through experiential learning. I have an immense passion for the English language, and I truly love helping others discover its power.
