Reception

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu in her review stated that "The series leaves questions unanswered, with ample scope for the story to be continued in Season Two. Not all of Anya’s Tutorial is convincing or absorbing, but as it progresses, it emerges as one of the better series in the Telugu digital space."{{Cite news |last=Dundoo |first=Sangeetha Devi |date=2022-07-01 |title='Anya's Tutorial' web series review: Nivedhithaa Satish and Regina Cassandra perk up the horror drama |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/reviews/anyas-tutorial-web-series-review-intriguing-slow-burn-horror-drama/article65585738.ece |access-date=2023-02-26 |issn=0971-751X |archive-date=29 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221129014451/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/reviews/anyas-tutorial-web-series-review-intriguing-slow-burn-horror-drama/article65585738.ece |url-status=live }}
Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India rated the series 3.0/5 and wrote "The plot had enough to engage the audience with its layered past and present narration, but some might find it confusing and leaves room for ambiguity, unlike what’s written on Anya’s social media bio Things are simple; do not complicate them."{{Cite news |title=Anya's Tutorial Season 1 Review : This bilingual horror thriller is fascinating for the most part but fizzles out towards the end |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/telugu/anyas-tutorial/anyas-tutorial-season-1/seasonreview/92601669.cms |access-date=2023-02-26 |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=26 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230226075945/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/telugu/anyas-tutorial/anyas-tutorial-season-1/seasonreview/92601669.cms |url-status=live }}
Ram Venkat Srikar of Cine Express gave the series 3 stars out of five and wrote "Anya’s Tutorial, as a horror show, posits some interesting ideas on the table and comes close to realising some of them. A tense atmosphere from start to finish, however, ensures that it holds our attention as the horror unravels before fizzling out towards the end."{{Cite web |title=Anya's Tutorial Series Review: A nerve-racking horror tale that demanded a better closure |url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/telugu/review/2022/jul/01/anyas-tutorial-series-review-a-nerve-racking-horror-tale-that-demanded-a-better-closure-32462.html |access-date=2023-02-26 |website=Cinema Express |date=July 2022 |language=en |archive-date=26 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230226080619/https://www.cinemaexpress.com/telugu/review/2022/jul/01/anyas-tutorial-series-review-a-nerve-racking-horror-tale-that-demanded-a-better-closure-32462.html |url-status=live }}
A reviewer for ABP Live rated the series 2/5, stating "The cast, high production values and music are impressive. Even if the story disappoints...the making and taking are top class, so it engages to some extent."{{Cite web |last=Desam |first=A. B.
