About the provider

Jura Kool is the CEO and also listed as President and Co-Founder of KoolMinds. The facts also state that she has been helping students with learning and attention issues since 2009, and that she is a Reading and Dyslexia specialist, an Orton-Gillingham practitioner, and an Educational Advocate. KoolMinds says it helps students with cognitive skills and academic remediation in reading, writing, and math, and that it works with students who have learning differences.

Assessment is completed first in a local office or online if necessary and usually takes about an hour. Each tutor goes through a background check and training programs. Tutoring or teaching experience and time spent working with children are requirements. They specialize in helping bright students who are falling behind and say academic remediation is not homework help or a short term solution.
