Kate McClinton

2Rev Coach

Kate grew up in a small, sheltered Kentucky town, raised by a bold father and a faith-rooted mother. From an early age, she challenged societal expectations, and that same spirit later grew into a lifelong commitment to learners and the educators who support them. At Transylvania University, she majored in Middle Grades Education with a minor in Women's Studies, founding organizations focused on equity and trauma support, early proof of her instinct for building trust and community around the people she serves.

She began her teaching career in Lexington before moving to Chicago, where her work in both charter and public schools deepened her commitment to educational equity. There, she built strong relationships with families and colleagues while securing grants and resources to better serve low-income communities. After becoming a parent, Kate moved to Atlanta to work with KIPP Metro Atlanta Schools, immersing herself in a mission-driven environment focused on closing opportunity gaps for students.

To deepen her impact, Kate earned two master's degrees, one in Education and one in Educational Leadership, sharpening both her instructional expertise and her ability to guide and mentor others. Today, based in Florida, she tutors students one-on-one and in group sessions that weave in social-emotional learning topics, helping learners build not just academic skills but confidence, self-awareness, and healthy relationships with peers. She also constructs curriculum designed around real student needs and consults with educators and business leaders across the state, bringing her relationship-driven approach to classrooms and organizations alike.

At the heart of everything Kate does is a belief that learning happens best within strong, trusting relationships, whether between teacher and student, tutor and family, or leader and team.
