HI, I AM GILES.
Giles Leeper is an esteemed educator with over 20 years experience in educational methodologies. As the co-founder and inaugural principal of The Kindezi School, an acclaimed charter school in Atlanta, Giles spearheaded holistic educational approaches aimed at redefining the traditional classroom model. Under his leadership, The Kindezi School sought to prioritize personalized tutoring over conventional large-class instruction, achieving remarkable success despite budgetary constraints.
Recognizing the profound impact of tutoring, Giles implemented a tutoring strategy, reducing class sizes to six students and organizing them into small groups of three or fewer. Through a tailored approach known as "mastery learning," each student received individualized attention to ensure comprehension before progressing to new material. The results were exceptional, evidenced by elevated test scores and heightened community satisfaction.
Following his decade-long tenure at The Kindezi Schools, Giles embarked on a dedicated journey to delve into the multifaceted realm of tutoring research. Drawing from anthropology, education, biology, history, economics, and sociology, he uncovered startling insights that surpassed his initial expectations. Motivated by his discoveries, Giles authored an upcoming book exploring the intrinsic value of natural tutoring abilities, launched a podcast on the subject, and established The Superpower, Inc., a nonprofit devoted to spreading the word about the potential power of tutoring to launch a third revolution in American education.
With an unwavering passion for innovation and a deep commitment to educational excellence, Giles Leeper continues to be a leading voice in shaping the future of learning.
