Anna Backer attended Northwestern University as a National Merit Scholar, graduating magna cum laude with a major in Theater, certificate in Music Theater, and modules in Arts Leadership and Management and Music Theater Choreography. During her time at Northwestern, she was a proud member of TONIK Tap, Northwestern’s premier tap dance company. She has been tutoring the SAT and ACT since 2018, aiding dozens of students in achieving their standardized test goals. Anna’s students have gone on to study at such schools as Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Michigan State, UCLA, and Yeshiva University, to name a few. Anna’s approach to standardized testing focuses both on content and larger problem solving skills. She believes there are many ways to solve the same problem and encourages her students to approach things with curiosity, thereby increasing their confidence in their own abilities. Outside her educational pursuits, Anna is a professional dancer and was most recently seen on the Broadway national tour of the Lerner and Loewe classic musical My Fair Lady.
