Anna works with both domestic (US and UK) and international students looking to study in the US, UK or further afield, and is an Associate Member of IECA.From high school, her love of education (especially mathematics and writing) inspired her to begin her work as a freelance tutor, alongside developing her own talents in creative and academic writing. While studying both her Bachelors (BA Linguistics and Mathematics) and Masters (MA Psycholinguistics), Anna worked in Residential Life, helping students transition socially and academically to university, while she also pursued opportunities in teaching and instructional design.
