“I’m a teacher of junior high students and I look to Anne as a thought leader in the teen space. I consult her on tricky situations with my students to ensure I’m looking at all of the extenuating factors contributing to the student’s motivation and deeper learning needs. I’ve recommended her to school administrators, counselors and families from my school and always receive excellent feedback on her services. I highly recommend her as an expert with teenagers!”
