Mind Over Matter Kids of Burlington

Mind Over Matter Kids of Burlington is a tutoring service in Burlington, KY. The center works with parents, teachers, and students, providing tutoring and assessment services for children with a range of learning needs, including gifted students, students who struggle with focus, and students working to build reading and math skills. The business holds a rating of 4.90 based on reviews from families and educators who have worked with the team. The center was developed by special education teachers and Ph.D. students who saw a need for more individualized approaches to learning beyond what the traditional school setting can provide. Their work involves identifying individual student needs and offering recommendations to schools to put effective approaches into practice. They also run training sessions for teachers and work to support parents as part of a comprehensive approach. The owner, Dr. Kayla Steltenkamp, holds a doctorate in education, is Orton-Gillingham trained for working with students with dyslexia, serves as a LETRS trainer for fellow educators, and teaches online courses at Georgetown College. She also works at Thomas More University in the Education Department and lives in Northern Kentucky with her husband and four children. Susan Black has been with the team since the beginning and brings a bachelor's degree in elementary education with a reading endorsement from Northern Kentucky University, along with years of classroom experience including recent service at St. Henry Catholic School. The center sits on Dixie Hwy on the 2nd floor. A parent of a dyslexic son described being overwhelmed by school evaluations and IEPs before crossing paths with Dr. Kayla, and another parent shared that their daughter's reading and confidence improved in three months after a dyslexia diagnosis through the center, reflecting the kind of outcomes the team's individualized work is built around.
