TESTIMONIALS
"Ann has a gift for connecting with kids, inspiring them, and ultimately giving them the confidence and skills to succeed and reach their own personal best. She not only provides both our kids with the tools and motivation to flourish, but also provides us weekly feedback and guidance so that we can be more effective parents in supporting their academic success."

"Not only does my son seem vested in his sessions, he leaves more energized than when he went in. Ann’s skill and instinct allow her to build practical individualized weekly plans that focus not only on improving EF skills, but also on upping grades and making the work load more manageable vs. overwhelming. Achievement Academics’ approach to integrating goals with respect to skill building, grade improvement, and confidence building is the secret sauce."
"As a student with dyslexia taking upper level courses while playing a varsity sport, our son presents a number of challenges. Ann has taught him how to research, take notes, read for important information, study for tests and break bigger assignments down into smaller less daunting tasks. But most importantly, Ann has helped our son recognize his strengths and gain confidence as a student."
"Ann helped my daughter with the whole college application process, but was especially helpful with the writing of her essays. Ann did a beautiful job of being warm and approachable but also challenging and encouraging my daughter in her writing. Ann really softened the stress of the college application process for all of us - I could step out of the way, knowing she was counseling my daughter through."
Ann did an amazing job working with my college-aged daughter. Ann's upbeat personality and encouraging approach were exactly what my daughter needed to get started with accumulated tasks she saw as intimidating. Ann taught her organizational skills, both relating to homework and to daily life, and worked on short- and long-term planning skills. My daughter had regular sessions with Ann, and after each session, Ann sent me super detailed reports of what they did and how it went. I have been a teacher for over 20 years, mostly at the high school level, and I was VERY impressed with Ann's professional knowledge and demeanor. She clearly understands this age group, and has strategies for helping them become successful students. She works well with neurodiverse learners, and has a "toolbox" of methods for helping them develop independent academic skills. She is also a mom herself, so she understands the challenges that come with parenting. I strongly recommend Ann Fox!
"My son was diagnosed with ADHD in 10th grade. He had always done well in school and was eager to learn, but by 10th grade he had become distracted, disorganized, anxious, and overwhelmed. Ann was able to assess his strengths and weaknesses and identify ways to prioritize the help that my son needed. Her positive attitude and approach allowed her to connect with my son immediately. He had to work hard, but he truly enjoyed his sessions with Ann, and he could immediately see the difference she made in terms of planning in his academic routine."
"Ann has worked with my daughter for the last two years, and the results have been amazing! Ann organized her with calendars and study habits so that her time studying is more efficient. As a parent, I always appreciate the weekly email communication with Ann to get an insight into my daughter's academics as well as social life and challenges. I trust Ann explicitly and so does my daughter, she is a truly talented and genuine human being and teacher."
I simply could not say enough good things about Ann! I am currently a junior in college and I have been working with her for over a year. Throughout our time together, Ann has helped me develop tangible strategies to keep my schoolwork manageable alongside a busy college schedule. She's helped me to build and practice study strategies that have been particularly helpful in my more rigorous science based courses. Not only has her help allowed me to enjoy my college experience more, but I will carry these tools with me as I move forward in school and my future career. She is truly a gem!!
