Wanna know a secret? I failed math growing up and needed tutoring—plus, I’ve got ADHD and a little bit of autism that made learning a struggle. Now, after hundreds of hours self-studying, I’m the educator I always wished I had: someone who looked like me, thought like me, and truly cared about getting to know me.Hey, I’m Jasmine, your artsy math tutor from Detroit! I help middle school students build confidence in math through creative methods like doodling, making math less intimidating and more fun. The result? My students typically grow one full grade level in their standardized tests before the year ends. 📈I’m a proud graduate of James Madison University with a degree in Studio Art, but my heart belongs to education. After discovering my passion for teaching through programs like City Year, I’ve spent over 8 years helping students overcome math anxiety while dealing with my own chronic illness—Crohn’s disease—which has only deepened my empathy for others.I believe in the power of community and creativity to transform education, so if you’re a teacher looking for fresh ideas and support, let’s connect!Let’s make teaching and learning math way more fun together! ______________________________________________________________________ The Edupreneur: Your Blueprint To Jumpstart And Scale Your Education BusinessYou’ve spent years in the classroom, leading PD, designing curriculum, and transforming how students learn.

Dr. Kendrah Underwood is a Global Education Consultant and the founder of Level Up Education Consultancy. Her education philosophy is grounded in the 6 E's—Equity and Excellence in Education for Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day. Her inspiration to start her own education business stemmed from a deep passion for equity in education and a desire to make a broader impact beyond the walls of a single institution. Throughout her career in education leadership, she consistently encountered systemic challenges—gaps in resources, disparities in student outcomes, and the need for more effective teacher support. These experiences fueled her determination to create solutions that could address these issues on a larger scale. Dr. Underwood has a certificate in School Management and Leadership from Harvard Business School and an Executive Leadership certificate from Cornell University. She holds a BA in Sociology and Anthropology with a minor in Africana Studies from Agnes Scott College, two MBAs, and an Ed.D. in Organizational Leadership and Development from Grand Canyon University. Her dissertation, titled "A Descriptive Phenomenological Reflective Study of Black Women who are First-Generation Doctorates," explored the theme of belongingness. Dr. Underwood boasts a distinguished track record of achieving impressive student outcomes. Her extensive experience spans teaching and administrative roles across elementary, middle, and high schools in diverse settings, including inner-city, urban, and suburban neighborhoods. Her portfolio includes supervising, coaching, and training principals, as well as managing all facets of school-related operations in elementary, K-8, middle, high, virtual, and early college school environments. She has worked in schools across inner-city, urban, suburban, and rural communities, including both traditional public and charter schools. Dr. Underwood’s guiding principle is straightforward: “I prioritize what’s best for kids, not what’s easiest for adults. She has served in traditional public, private, and charter schools in cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Tampa, St. Louis, and Houston. Dr. Underwood also taught college-level courses for four years and has held roles such as principal, assistant principal, grade team leader, content leader, and new teacher mentor. As a 12th-grade advisor, she guided all 23 of her advisees to college acceptance, with two achieving valedictorian and salutatorian honors. In addition to her educational leadership, Dr. Underwood initiated "Bridging the Divide," a community outreach program in partnership with the Chicago Police Department, and created several viral videos showcasing her passion for learning and engagement. Dr. Underwood defines success as the positive impact one can make on others’ lives and believes that one’s story is not a fortress but a source of fuel. ______________________________________________________________________ The Edupreneur: Your Blueprint To Jumpstart And Scale Your Education BusinessYou’ve spent years in the classroom, leading PD, designing curriculum, and transforming how students learn.

I am Talesha Savage, speaker, workshop facilitator, and owner of TLS Consulting, an education consulting firm devoted to helping school and district leaders create attractive school cultures where leaders and teachers feel respected, valued, and supported. I have helped four schools/departments increase their social emotional support efforts which has impacted approximately 400 educators. I leverage my experience as a teacher, school leader, and business owner to help schools and districts attract and retain educators, so they are not constantly starting over. I truly believe a consistent and engaged staff tremendously helps all students and stakeholders shine.My 15 years as an educator has led me to shift school culture from despair to triumph, develop an onboarding academy, collect and analyze student and staff data, facilitate numerous professional development sessions, and design action plans that led to a stable staff with increased student achievement. My approach to school culture is simple; develop a culture based on connections that leverage the strengths of others.If you desire to have a school where the buy-in is high, collaboration and synergy are the norm, and vacancies are rare, let’s schedule a quick talk. https://calendly.com/taleshasavage/synergy ______________________________________________________________________ The Edupreneur: Your Blueprint To Jumpstart And Scale Your Education BusinessYou’ve spent years in the classroom, leading PD, designing curriculum, and transforming how students learn.

I am a dedicated and compassionate Secure Attachment Therapist, committed to assisting individuals in breaking free from negative relationship patterns and fostering healthier, more fulfilling connections. With a profound understanding of Attachment Theory and its impact on our emotional well-being, I have dedicated my career to helping people build secure and loving relationships. This begins with the self and overflows to others.My journey as a therapist began with a deep fascination for human connections and a desire to provide guidance and support to those struggling with relationship issues. Through extensive training and clinical experience, I have honed my skills in recognizing and addressing attachment-related challenges that often lead to toxic patterns of behavior and emotional distress. Most often, I see problems with trust, vulnerability, and safety in intimate relationships. In our work together, we will resolve past experiences that have held you back and restore your emotional health.I believe that our early experiences with attachment significantly shape our adult relationships. By helping clients explore their attachment histories and understand how these patterns impact their current connections, I empower them to make positive changes. My therapeutic approach is founded on empathy, active listening, and a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences freely.Working with me, individuals are guided on a journey of self-discovery, helping them to build secure attachment styles that foster trust, intimacy, and healthy communication. I provide tools and strategies to break free from cycles of insecurity, anxiety, and avoidance, allowing my clients to establish and maintain more meaningful, loving relationships.As a Secure Attachment Therapist, my ultimate goal is to support individuals in achieving emotional resilience and a profound sense of self-worth, ultimately leading to healthier connections with others. I am deeply committed to helping my clients transform their lives and create lasting, positive changes in their relationships, so they can experience the joy and fulfillment that comes with secure attachment. @iamtaylorchandler on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTubeiamtaylorchandler.com ______________________________________________________________________ The Edupreneur: Your Blueprint To Jumpstart And Scale Your Education BusinessYou’ve spent years in the classroom, leading PD, designing curriculum, and transforming how students learn.
