Leslie Campbell
Best Part of Your Job:
Watching kids and parents build a bond over learning. I also love seeing the kids’ faces when they finally understand/grasp something hard they’ve been working on.
What is a hidden talent that you have:
My ability to get through to kids most people would deem harder to work with. They hold a special place in my heart because I was once one of them.
