Kathy, aka Auntie G, has spent thousands of hours working directly with students to understand the issues impacting their success and designing strategies to help them. (Many of her students now have careers they never thought possible before working with her.) What she found was that for most of her students with math troubles, their problems started young. They didn’t learn the right skills early and it affected almost all their learning afterwards and for many, their life choices.
Now, along with creating books for families investing in building important skills, Kathy has a lot of fun off the ‘net teaching families easier and more affordable ways to succeed. Hope to see you there!
As part of developing her expertise, Kathy not only acquired her Master’s of Education, she also earned certificates in Educational Technology and Data Analysis along with advancing her subject knowledge.
