In this episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl sits down with educators Kathy Miller and Greg Hall, M.Ed. to explore how individualized support empowers students, especially those with IEPs and 504 plans, to rediscover academic success. With small class sizes, tailored learning plans, and integrated therapeutic support, Turning Winds helps teens not only catch up but often surpass their previous academic benchmarks.
Kathy and Greg share real examples of students making dramatic progress through targeted tutoring, one-on-one instruction, and structured interventions that meet them where they are. Whether students are behind due to anxiety, ADHD, or learning differences, or ahead and ready for AP-level work, this episode shows what’s possible in the right environment.
If you're a parent watching your teen struggle in school, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a path forward.
