Sandip Kaur Badyal
It was a great pleasure and privilege to work with Anna whilst at ELC. I found she made my transition into Regulatory Project Management progress as smoothly as possible. I found she was able to pass on her expertise in the field with ease whilst providing strategic and logical milestones in order to achieve project deadlines. As a teamleader I found Anna took the time to tailor relevant training for each individual and took the time to ensure all tasks were well understood.

I have worked with Anna on many occasions during my time as a student ,and in my position as a teacher. While a student, Anna worked as a private teacher and was a tutor for kids as well as adults. She worked at a variety of schools and companies and was very successful in employing a variety of strategies, lessons, and projects to balance the cultural, socioeconomic and developmental needs of her students Anna has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages. Her ability to connect with her students and her talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both truly superior. She has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate. Anna can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She accomplishes these tasks with great initiative and with a very positive attitude. I believe Anna is an exceptional teacher and has earned my respect and highest recommendation.
