"Working with Yea not only improved my organizational skills, but also helped me develop my critical thinking. My meetings with Yea in high school allowed me to compartmentalize and organize my schoolwork and extracurriculars, and those skills translated to my day to day life. The transition from middle school to high school was extremely overwhelming and scary, but Yea helped me manage my tasks in such a way that alleviated the pressure and fear. I accredit my smooth transition from high school to college in part to Yea and her patience and willingness to develop my organizational and operative skills.
Yea is great!"
