The People

The people from our Learning Initiative community are now our greatest resource both at Learning Initiative and at the Self Development Centre.  Drawing on our community of LI alumni and professional associates we have created a team of teachers, consultants, professional advisors and mentors who are dedicated to offering the best possible service to our clients at all times.  This team has been gradually formed over the past nineteen years and, while it continues to expand, has at this point evolved into a powerful and cohesive group of committed professionals who work together to develop and refine the programs and services delivered by Learning Initiative and by the Self Development Centre.

As an accredited Ontario teacher, Anne has honed her teaching skills at such prestigious schools as The National Ballet School in Toronto as well as in other very skill specific positions within the Toronto and Lincoln County Boards of Education and the Faculty of Education at the University of Toronto.
