Anneli grew up in Portland, Oregon and is a dual Swedish-American citizen. She graduated cum laude from Harvard University in Social Anthropology, with a minor in Environmental Science and Public Policy, and went on to a Master’s in Sustainable Urban Planning and Design at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. At Harvard she wrote for The Harvard Crimson and The Huffington Post and researched transport policy in São Paulo for the Graduate School of Design. She speaks English, Spanish, Swedish, Portuguese and French.
Anneli has worked in consulting in New York and in the public sector in Stockholm. Through the Harvard Program for International Education she co-taught weekly international relations lessons at an inner-city high school in Boston. She has edited college application essays professionally, taught grammar and maths to refugees in Sweden and to young Somali children in Portland, and taught Spanish to younger students.
Anneli cares about students understanding concepts, not just reaching the right answer, and will take as long as needed to get there. As a visual learner herself, she often uses diagrams and visual aids. When editing writing, she explains every correction, down to punctuation. She is a very patient tutor and enjoys working with students who are finding things difficult.
