When a child begins struggling in school, it can feel overwhelming for both parents and students. This episode offers clarity, compassion, and real solutions.
Lauren sits down with Brittany McKinsey and Lauren Griffith, certified educators and co-founders of Teachers Who Tutor, a personalized tutoring service based in Erie, Colorado. Their mission is simple but powerful: help kids learn with confidence, feel supported, and thrive—both academically and emotionally.
Together, they share how individualized tutoring can transform not just grades, but mindset. They break down what to look for after parent–teacher conferences, how to support learning at home without added stress, and why confidence is often the missing piece when a child feels stuck.
