Anne Salzer

I am a retired educator with thirty years of experience committed to helping students gain confidence in a supportive and joyful environment. I began teaching in Anchorage, Alaska where I taught third grade through middle school. Seeking to broaden my professional growth, I earned a Masters of Educational Leadership and served as a school principal for 8 years. I am a grandmother of four terrific kids and the happy companion to my animal friends, Lexi and Woody. Working with students one-to-one as a private tutor allows me to focus on each child’s unique strengths and weaknesses.
