Meet Your Mentor
Miss Anna
Miss Anna is an experienced youth mentor and educator of 10+ years who leads each class with humor, kindness, and an upbeat attitude while sending out positive vibes….. to encourage her students to do the same!
She is a momma to a fun, silly and twice exceptional child who is the center of her universe. When she is not teaching, she can often be found playing video games with her kiddo, outdoors kayaking and/or photographing plants and wild life together.
During her time as a youth mentor and educator she has had the privilege to work closely with children ages 3 – 16 and during that time she found one fundamental truth that rings true for every child, no matter their age… they LOVE to play!
She has led youth reading and enrichment programs for ages 5 – 11 and has spent many enjoyable years as a PE instructor, Library Media Specialist, and SEL Youth Mentor for low income families. I have had the honor of helping thousands of children find confidence in their current strengths and abilities.
Miss Anna fosters a true love for play-based learning and enjoys helping kids create meaningful friendships at YSA by creating fun and engaging activities that help kiddos truly feel seen, heard, and valued in her warm and welcoming virtual classroom.

Questions Asked By Fellow Parents

4 KEY things:
1- A focus on the positive! We don’t focus on what students aren’t doing, we support what they are and we know the rest will come. We develop strengths, interests, and relationships. We build students up so they can build a better world! And do it with the new friends they make in our program!
2- Like-minded neurodivergent peers. Our asynchronous students need one another and YSA is a safe haven for these kiddos to connect around their asynchronies, quirks, and interests. We’re a place where they can be their authentic selves and make friends while doing so!
3- Passionate, masterful neurodivergent mentors who have walked the walk and can authentically validate and support your child with personal experience and care AND expertise as we all have advanced masters + degrees
4-Content your students care about taught in a way they love! We offer the courses they need to be taking, not the ones they’re required to take.
Come by and see for yourself!

Please don’t confuse reactive “distance learning” and virtual enrichment programming. After all, a student who is completely fried from a boring zoom class is often quick to pick up a tablet or phone, right?
Our courses are not at all the same animal =)
-

Of course!
As we like to say, if you’re on our site, you’re in the right place.
Our programming is for students who are not being supported or challenged enough in school.
If you have an asynchronous kiddo who you know has strengths and struggles, our courses are for your child.
-
2e students experience such asynchronous development that it proves difficult to have hard age limits.
We often evaluate students on a case by case basis =)
Please email us and we’ll discuss: sam@youngscholarsacademy.org
-
All of our programs are 100% virtual. This allows us to bring together the twice-exceptional/neurodivergent students of the world, connect them, and nurture them!
Your child may very well enter a 6-person class with 5 other students from 5 different states/countries!
Cool, right?
