The Co-Founders

Launch Into Learning was co-founded by Karla Barcus and Rebecca Bush, two experienced educators who share a passion for helping students thrive both in and beyond the classroom. Together, they bring decades of experience in executive functioning, literacy, specialized academic support, and educational leadership, united by the belief that meaningful relationships and personalized support create lasting success.

Their complementary backgrounds inspired a collaborative approach that goes beyond traditional tutoring—combining executive functioning coaching, dyslexia intervention, and specialized academic support to meet each student where they are. At Launch Into Learning, every learner receives individualized guidance designed to build confidence, strengthen essential skills, and foster the independence needed for lifelong success.
