Guiding students to develop the skills, strategies, and mindsets to become successful adults.
Educator, Coach, Consultant
It’s a struggle when your teen is struggling…
Students shouldn’t have to worry about the future. AND they should be able to enjoy learning! Too many teens think they can’t succeed, feel like a failure, and as a result, they assume they can’t achieve their dreams.
The Old Way Isn’t Working:
It seems like everybody has a different answer. Therefore, nobody has an answer for you and your student.
The idea of "one size fits all" in education is outdated.
I personalize learning experiences to adapt to each student's unique strengths, challenges, and learning styles.

Teaching skills for life!
Hello! I am Ann.
With over 35 years in education, I specialize in creating personalized learning experiences that help teens thrive academically, emotionally, and personally.
Throughout my career, I’ve challenged the idea that one size fits all in education. Again and again, I was encouraged to “teach to the middle” or follow scripted programs. But I’ve seen firsthand that every teenager is a unique mix of strengths, struggles, emotions, and ideas. They deserve to be seen—and taught—as individuals.
Listening closely to teens and their families is at the heart of what I do. Designing curriculum and learning that taps into a student’s strengths and aspirations isn’t just my profession; it’s my calling.
I’m honored to help young people learn and grow, discover who they are, and reach for who they can become.
My Core Values
I speak honestly, teach biblically, and help students uncover truth about who they are, who God is, and how to live with purpose.
TRUTH
I meet students and families with empathy and patience, honoring their challenges and walking with them through growth.
COMPASSION
I approach challenges with curiosity and flexibility, designing learning experiences that reflect each student’s unique strengths and needs.
CREATIVITY
I root my work in trust and obedience to God, guided by scripture and prayer, as I walk alongside students in love and truth.
FAITH
HOPEFUL VISION
I see possibility and purpose in every student. I believe in their capacity to grow, adapt, and thrive, even when they’re struggling, and I hold that vision with compassion and faith.
