About

Rita

What would you say to someone who is very anxious about learning problems in school?

We all have challenges of one kind or another. Very few people are good at something the first time they try it. We all need practice and assistance along the way.

Why are you passionate about helping students with learning differences?

I want all children to feel confident and excited about learning. It drives me to do my very best to help.

What gets you excited about Parallel?

The perspective of the founder was exciting to learn about, as she’s experienced learning challenges and understands what that means.
