Показать описание
Welcome to Episode 142 of Parenting With Impact with Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster! This week’s guest is Sheila Akbar, a highly-seasoned educator who loves to help students identify and overcome their educational challenges!
As parents, we worry about our kids fulfilling their potential, and want them to think about what they want their future to look like. How do we encourage our complex kids to envision a future, when they may still be struggling with the present?
Sheila Akbar joined the Signet team in the summer of 2010, bringing with her a wealth of experience teaching SAT, ACT, GRE, literature, and composition in both one-on-one and classroom settings. Sheila loves both teaching and learning and finds nothing more rewarding than working closely with students to overcome the challenges they face.
After graduating from Harvard in 2002, she spent two years working in financial services before continuing her academic career, which culminated in two doctorates. She brings her significant business and academic experience to bear on her current role at Signet, which includes speaking to every client to craft a tailored solution for their needs, managing the administrative team, and providing educational thought leadership for the company. Sheila holds a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree from Harvard University and two doctoral degrees from Indiana University.
