Reviews
Anja has been wonderful to work with. Our son has been steadily showing improvements and Anja has been crucial in guiding him (and us) through the math and writing challenges he will have to face as he grows older. Very good communication with us parents which is quite important as well. We’re very thankful for her dedication and we highly recommend her.
Anja is incredible with our daughter! We were not sure how our 5 year old would do over zoom and after a full day of school. Yet she is incredibly excited to see Anja every time. In literally a few sessions, she went from zero to passion for letters and sounds. We are thrilled!! Highly recommend.
Anja is bubbly, fun, caring, intuitive and encouraging. My daughter adores her, looks forward to her arrival and eagerly learns because Anja makes everything engaging and playful. I see a big difference in the short time we've been working with her.
Anja is enthusiastic, engaging, and flexible and my kids loved meeting with her.
She is very kind and calm and puts my son right at ease. She is patient as they learn.
