Testimonials

“Our daughter was seen by Annie for a few years. Not only was she able to help our daughter grow and develop her reading and comprehension skills, she also went above and beyond with punctuation skills (as an educator myself, I enjoyed that aspect as well). ”

Dr. Shawn P., EdD

“Mrs. Hitchman created a bond with our daughter as well as our family. Making that strong connection aided in the commitment we saw in her desire to achieve more, work harder, and focus on her improvement. ”
