Kendra Cowden
Dyslexia Tutor & Academic Adviser
Kendra has a wide range of experience interacting with and motivating students that need help with organization, study skills and finding unique ways of looking at challenges. She earned a BFA in Communications from TCU, is Orton-Gillingham trained from Scottish Rite Hospital, and has worked with ADHD and dyslexic students since 2000.
Kendra started her career at The Shelton School in Dallas, and continued her teaching journey by helping start a similar school that educates bright students that learn differently in Birmingham, Alabama. Dyslexia reading classes were her main focus at both schools, but she also taught and tutored all subjects. Tutoring students has been a passion of hers and she knows that a supportive relationship can have significant impact on students’ academic success. Kendra is inspired by her students because she can see their progress as they learn mastery over their dyslexia diagnosis.
Kendra and her husband Wade love to travel and spend time with their two grown children and extended family in Dallas and Fort Worth.
