About Me
Anna has always aimed to share her experiences and skills with others and to make learning both profitable and enjoyable for all her students. Watching other people grow and succeed because of something she gave them is, for her, one of the most fulfilling aspects of being a teacher. At GameU, she works across a wide range of subjects with children and adults alike, both with and without special needs, to help them achieve their goals. She’s doing what she loves – and helping others do the same!
In her free time, Anna enjoys spending time with family, kayaking, hiking, writing, making digital and traditional art of all kinds, and attempting (with limited success) to keep her pet cockatiel Shadow from devouring everything in sight.
