About

Meet Your Online AP & SAT Tutor

I’m Nanea (Nuh-nay-ah). I help high school and college students in Connecticut, San Diego, and across the country who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or convinced they “just aren’t a math person” build strong foundations and real confidence.

With 15+ years of experience and a master’s in neurobiology, I go beyond assignments. I teach students how to think through problems, manage test anxiety, and develop strategies they can use across every subject.

Students don’t just improve grades. They learn how to learn.

Effort Without Results

Your child studies hard, but grades don’t reflect the effort.

“I’m Just Not a Math Person”

They’ve internalized the belief that they can’t succeed.

Nothing Sticks Long-Term

Other tutors helped with homework, but understanding faded by test day.

You Want Independence, Not Dependency

You need a tutor who builds skills, not one your child can’t function without.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone, and there’s a better way forward.

Testimonials

What Families Are Saying

One of the main reasons we continued with Nanea was her reliability. Sessions always started on time, materials were prepared in advance, and she followed through on everything she promised.

Our son is very quiet and hesitant to ask questions in class. Nanea created an environment where he felt comfortable speaking up. That change alone made tutoring extremely valuable for us.

Working with Nanea completely changed how I approached AP Biology. She taught me how to monitor my own understanding as I studied. My test scores improved and I became much more confident.
