Testimonials
Ranked #9 on Best Teacher Career Coaches 2025 by FindMyProfession.com.
a few things have changed since this list came out. Teachers in Transition has been around since 2013 and was founded by Kitty Boittnott. Additionally, we do have a la carte courses in self-paced format, now and the pricing is not correct, but it's nice to be recognized. 
You don't have to take my word for it - here is what clients are saying:
Teaching used to feel like home—until it didn’t. These are the voices of educators who were burned out, boxed in, and ready for something more. Their words, in their voice. No edits. No fluff. Just proof that a new chapter is possible.
🔹 Raul, former teacher turned entrepreneur
“Created my LinkedIn profile, reached out and connected with so many, and now I'm an entrepreneur.”
“A friend of my wife recommended it… and I’m so glad I followed through. Navigating through the job application process was overwhelming, but our conversations helped me step out of my comfort zone. I created my LinkedIn profile, connected with so many incredible people—and now I'm an entrepreneur.
The biggest shift? Realizing I don't have time to wait for ‘the market to change’ or for another employer to rescue me. This process gave me insight, encouragement, and authenticity when I needed it most.
You should do it—especially if you're a teacher figuring out your next steps after education.
I really appreciated the experience and felt supported throughout.
✦ Raul now runs Raul Web Studio, helping other entrepreneurs build their online presence.
🔹 Kelly, transitioning teacher
“Listening to a podcast about a teacher moving into the art field made me realize that anything is possible.”
“I decided to work with Vanessa because she provides an individualized approach to transitioning out of teaching. Before we started, my biggest challenge was not believing I had skills that would transfer into another profession.
Through our work, I’ve become more comfortable working with AI and - more importantly - more confident in my own abilities. My biggest breakthrough moment came while listening to a podcast about a teacher finding a new career in the art field. It made me realize that anything is possible.
I learned a lot of new things from Vanessa, but what stood out most was the individualized attention.
It’s worth the investment, you will gain so much!”
✦ Described working with Vanessa as: Intelligent, Personable, Skilled
