Anxious to Learn provides therapeutic tutoring to neurodiverse learners experiencing barriers to their ability to thrive in an academic or professional setting. Sessions are typically one hour long, 1:1, held on Google Meet. Learners may schedule as many or as few sessions as they require.

Theraputic tutoring is provided by Ann Spencer, Ed.D., an expert educator using specialized methodology to understand and address mental health and learning difference barriers to academic and professional thriving.

Working as a learner’s ally, Ann provides coaching that students and professionals can immediately apply in their school or work context. Ann works with the learner to build a “strategy toolbox,” stepping away as the learner gains confidence and independence.

4. Learner experiments with the strategy

5. Learner describes experience - revise strategy until it works

6. As learners gain independence, support tapers off
