Our story began in the fall of 2019 when we were working together at a Non-Public High School and in dire need of an alternative way to engage our students who were quite *literally* walking out on us. We knew we needed more than exciting lessons to reignite a true love for learning and a passion to persevere when presented with a challenge. We saw a need for the opportunity to work with students in a more individualized setting.  It is our goal at Radiant Minds Mentoring  to provide engaging lessons for all types of learners while focusing on walking the student through the psychology of their learning styles. To be a resource for the community to enhance the educational, social, and emotional opportunities your child has as they learn and grow.
