Do you or your child need help learning?
Anna Krinitsyna is an online language and reading tutor who specializes in teaching English and Russian.
How Tutoring Works
If you or your student is struggling with reading, if their teacher is saying they might be held back because they are failing in reading or spelling, or if you are simply interested in hiring a tutor to teach your child a second language, I am here to help.
I value the individual-oriented approach, shaped to each student's learning style and interests. My passion is to help people of all ages break through hurdles that could be holding them back, so that they can succeed. I have many years of experience working with children and adults with disabilities. I have also helped children learn to read in their first language before they go into kindergarten and before they start learning to read in English.
We will start with a free evaluation on Zoom, where I will determine the level the student is at and talk to the parent about my results and their goals. Tutoring will be done online. I use a great online method of teaching that is just as good as in-person teaching.

About Anna
I enjoy tutoring because it gives me the opportunity to focus on specific topics students might be struggling with. While teachers in the classroom must follow a curriculum at a certain pace (even if someone does not completely understand the topic), tutoring allows me to make sure each student masters each topic. I believe in figuring out my students’ learning styles and using them in our tutoring sessions. Seeing students’ “light bulb” moments brings me joy.
In addition to obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish and Russian, I have taken various teaching and psychology courses. I also completed a Reading Interventionist Program to be able to help students improve in reading. After graduating, I interpreted and taught in various countries. I am currently working toward a Master’s degree in Language Teaching Studies at University of Oregon.
I have coached high school and college students in essay writing, tutored elementary and middle school students in reading, spelling, writing and mathematics, and taught Spanish, English, and Russian to students of various ages. I am looking forward to tutoring you or your child!
