Ann Litvin

Ann Litvin, a native of New York City, did undergraduate and graduate work in Electrical Engineering at City University of New York where she was one of the only women enrolled in any of her technical classes. Later, recruited to Southern California by the burgeoning aerospace industry, she was responsible for designing test equipment and creating test manuals for Minuteman and Apollo space exploration systems and others.

As interested in human potential as in the engineering profession, Ann's avocation in tutoring dates back to her days at Hunter College High School for Intellectually Gifted Girls in Manhattan where she regularly tutored school friends and neighbors -- both teens and adults -- in math, English, physics, and chemistry. Even during her years as engineer, she made time to counsel friends and colleagues in academic subjects.

In the late 70's, Ann turned her professional focus to developing methodologies to effectively prepare people for state and national standardized exams. Her courses have been offered all over Southern California, and reflect a winning blend of her unique and effective teaching style along with her genuine interest in and respect for each student who attends. It is her philosophy that a person's view of self is as important to test taking success as the academic component of study itself.

Ann has personally taught more than 400 short and long test prep courses in So. California and has served many thousands of student seeking entry into college, graduate schools and/or teaching programs. Her on- and off-campus programs are consumer friendly and affordable, ranging from $199 and up -- substantially lower than most comparable courses offered by professional tutoring organizations. Her classes have received consistently excellent reviews from enrollees as well as the campuses where they’re given. Most important, her strategy programs get results!

During school year, Ann offers lectures, small group seminars and one-on-one private sessions and now has available additionally highly qualified tutoring consultants to support all your math, English, essay preparation and study skills needs. Ann also has two affable staff tutors who specialize in teaching physics, chemistry, Latin and Spanish disciplines. Tutoring services with the Associates staff start at $40 per hour.
