Dr. Cathleen Killeen-Pittman
Welcome!
I’m Dr. Cathleen Killeen-Pittman, founder of Our Learning Studio in High Point, North Carolina. I specialize in executive function coaching for students and adults—helping people build the skills they need to stay organized, manage their time, follow through on goals, and feel more in control of their work and daily lives.
Through one-on-one coaching, online courses, workshops, and practical, personalized strategies, I support students, parents, educators, and business owners across the country. Whether I’m helping a student keep up with school demands, a parent support their child more effectively, or a business owner streamline their workflow, my goal is always the same: to build confidence and create systems that actually work in real life.
I’ve spent more than 28 years in education, serving as both a teacher and administrator in public schools and higher education. One of the most meaningful parts of my career was spending 15 years as a beginning teacher evaluator, where I conducted thousands of classroom observations and mentored new teachers through their first three years. That experience deeply shaped how I support both educators, students, and parents today.
In 2006, I took the leap into entrepreneurship and opened my first large-scale tutoring center. Today, in my private practice, I focus on helping students and adults develop the executive function skills they need to stay organized, manage time effectively, and follow through with confidence.
In addition to working with students and families, I partner with tutoring business owners and other professionals to strengthen the executive function systems behind their businesses—helping them operate more efficiently and build practices that are sustainable and streamlined. Having successfully built and sold my first tutoring center, I bring both educational and real-world business insight to this work.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, and a doctorate in Higher Education Administration.
