Testimonials

  • Anisa was a hit with students and staff. Her fun informal style was engaging and it was great to see our students participating in word games. A number of my budding writers followed her to her car seeking advice. One of my more reticent young lady’s was particularly keen to seek her counsel. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to friends and colleagues.

  • Anisa had our Year 6 students absolutely enthralled with her poetry. They had never heard someone tell their story in this way, - so relevant to our diverse community. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.

  • Anisa was fantastic - flexible to meet our needs and adapting to last minute changes due to exam week. Her poetry performances were riveting and definitely struck a chord, especially with our Year 8s who have asked us to purchase her book. We would definitely invite Anisa back again.
