In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Cathleen Killeen-Pittman for a conversation about setting up our learning spaces for success!
Dr. Cathleen Killeen-Pittman, founder of Our Learning Studio, is an academic support specialist and literacy coach. She works with parents, teachers, tutors, and students in her private practice based in North Carolina.
Cathleen’s career as an educator spans over 30 years. She began her teaching career in a 5th-grade classroom before going on to serve as a teacher or administrator in public school, community college, and university settings. She spent over 15 years serving as a beginning teacher evaluator where she mentored and coached teachers during the first three years of their careers. During that time, she had the opportunity to conduct over 2,000 classroom observations and developed a passion for exploring how to create structured learning environments designed to set students up for success.
Cathleen is also an entrepreneur, founding her first academic support center in 2006. She currently works in private practice serving families and educators across the country through online small group classes for students, strategy sessions with parents and educators, and self-paced online courses.
