Testimonials
“In my conversations with my granddaughter, Celeste, I have seen a maturity in her that exudes confidence. The whole purpose of our getting her the tutoring was to help her transition into college with confidence. Her need to excel put undue pressure on herself and she was stressing out. Also, the added restrictions with COVID limited her ability to seek out help when needed. After working with Anne, even after just a few sessions, she doesn’t seem stressed, is seeking out resources, and is planning ahead. She is now enjoying her college experience and excited about how she can take control of her future.”

“Anne DeWeese is amazing. She helped my son navigate his way through the maze of college applications. She helped him construct his essays, gave him timelines, suggested ideas for scholarships, and went above and beyond to make sure he was successful. He was accepted to CMU within days of sending in his application.”

“Our son, who has a diagnosis of Asperger’s, worked with Anne through his high school years. She provided the guidance he needed and she helped him navigate a new style of learning while teaching him self-advocacy in the classroom. She was invaluable to us as parents, and to our son and we couldn’t be more pleased with the support she gave us!”

“Anne is a hardworking teacher. She spends time ensuring that students understand the material. She teaches according to the student’s learning style. Working with Anne I discovered how I learn best and learned how to teach myself when a teacher doesn’t teach in a way that make sense to me.”
- Student
“I have known and worked with Anne for many years. She uses research based teaching to meet students’ needs and assesses skills in order to plan appropriately developed lessons with rigorous questioning and investigation. Student growth and depth of knowledge in key academic areas are main focus areas of instruction. Lessons are scaffolded to present information to students in diversified ways to accommodate all learning styles. Students are confident, grow and work towards personal academic achievement goals.”

It is my pleasure to recommend Anne DeWeese. I have watched Anne successfully teaching kids both with special needs and without learning issues at a variety of ages. Anne's teaching style is not a one size fits all approach.Her vast knowledge, expertise, and resources are absolutely invaluable to me as a parent! I have been lucky enough to have her assistance with many issues including IEP's. She has a true desire to help others reach their full potential. Parents and students will definitely benefit from Anne's expertise. I am thrilled that she will be able to reach so many more students and parents outside of the traditional classroom.”

“A consistent source of support from one person; someone he could talk to about his struggles and receive guidance on how he could approach tasks. I think this is a great idea. You know there are going to be quite a few kids and families that need the support you can offer.”

“Our family first met Anne when she became our son’s 10th grade English teacher. He has multiple challenges and at the time he said that writing is like getting run over by a heard of buffaloes.
With Anne’s insight to our son, along with her talents, English quickly became his best subject as well as his favorite class. We are so grateful that our son was one of her students; high school would have been incredibly difficult otherwise.”
