Who you'll work with
Ms. Susan Black, your point of contact
Susan was the first tutor to join Mind Over Matter, and she's still the backbone of it. A former kindergarten and elementary teacher, she worked as an interventionist at St. Henry Catholic School and has a reading endorsement from NKU. When you call, text or email, Susan is who you'll hear from, and she'll match your child with one of our trained tutors.
Dr. Kayla Steltenkamp, founder
Kayla started Mind Over Matter in 2018, after noticing how many families were struggling to find the right place for extra help outside the school day. She holds a doctorate in education, is Orton-Gillingham trained and a LETRS trainer, and is education faculty at Thomas More University.
