ANICTA provides individualized tutoring to students in grades 1-12 who need help with executive function skills, study skills, personal development coaching, and subject-area support.

EDUCATIONAL CONSULTING

We work with college-bound students and their parents to assist in choosing the right entrance exam, preparing college application materials, and creating a timeline and goal-setting for the admission process.

STANDARDIZED TEST PREP

Our tutors are experts at developing effective test-preparation strategies for students applying to private secondary schools (SSAT, ISEE) and post-secondary schools (PSAT, SAT, ACT, and Subject Tests).

ABOUT ANICTA

Founded by Anya Chekalin in 2004, ANICTA aims to help students improve their academic performance and adopt a positive attitude toward learning. In most cases, low grades and behavioral issues are symptoms of an underlying difficulty, which we address as part of a holistic approach to improving a student’s performance. The same tools that help students succeed academically also help them engage with the material and discover the joy of learning. Over the years, ANICTA has helped hundreds of students, one at a time, fall in love with education and become life-long learners.

Testimonials

My daughter worked with Anya for months while preparing to take the SAT exam. Anya was professional and personable. She was encouraging and helped give my daughter the confidence and test taking skills that she needed do her best. Anya was able to analyze test responses and guided her tutoring to support areas that required more work. My daughter especially thought that Anya's kind nature and support through learning was a great benefit to her learning style. Anya is fantastic with teens and I have another one waiting for her!!!!

"Math has always been a challenge for our daughter Avi and she lacked confidence until she began her tutoring sessions with Anya. They immediately connected and Avi looked forward to seeing Anya every week. Anya was always prepared, patient, pleasant when she visited our home to tutor our daughter. Avi did really well on the SSAT and we know that it was definitely from the time she spent with Anya. Today, Avi says she loves math and the tutoring has helped her become more comfortable with math; it is no longer a scary subject. We have one person to thank for that and it is Anya!"

"Anya and our daughter hit it off the minute they met. Anya's gentle guidance and support enabled our daughter to hone her skills as a learner. Our child now approaches her assignments with increased confidence. She is able to breakdown more complex projects with greater ease. Anya is truly a transformational tutor and pleasure to have in our home!"

Jim S., Southborough, MA

"When Anya started working with our daughter in the spring, she had lost a lot of self-confidence, was frustrated in school and didn't really want a tutor. Anya approached each session with patience and over several weeks won our daughter over. The results were amazing and evident! Our daughter’s final grades showed significant improvement across the board and our daughter looks forward to her tutoring sessions. Anya really helped turn the year around for our daughter!"
