Susan Appenzeller, CEO
Greetings! I am Susan Appenzeller, the owner of Elite Vocational and Tutoring Services. I am a proud mother and wife. We have two fantastic sons—and at times I include my husband in that tally saying I have 3 sons to take care of! Family is very important to me.
I am a Michigan native and went to college at the University of Arizona (Go Wildcats!) to obtain my Bachelor’s Degree. I started my vocational career in 1992 as a Job Developer/Job Coach and developed a passion for this line of work—to assist individuals to obtain their personal goals. I love that every day is different and we also get to work with so many personalities which teaches us something new on a daily basis. Even 30 plus years later, there is always something to learn.
Through the years I was promoted to a Program Director position supervising contracted services with Vocational Rehabilitation, the Division of Developmental Disabilities and the Department of Education. In 2010 I opened my first business continuing to do contracted services with the State of Arizona in the areas of vocational and related contracts, tutoring services as well as non-medical caregiving services. I attempted to retire in early 2022 and then decided/realized that just wasn’t for me, and I opened Elite Vocational and Tutoring Services (EVTS) in the summer of 2022.
EVTS offers state-wide services in Arizona. EVTS takes pride in offering quality services to the clients that we serve. We believe in team work with all parties to enable our clients to reach their identified goals. Please contact myself or members of my team if you have questions, would like more information, would like to set up a meeting, etc, etc. We are here for you!
