Episode 63: Owners and directors of The Clever Cookie Academy, Peita and Rob Mages - a podcast by RDA Central West

Joining RDA director Wayne Sunderland for episode 63 of the Business Leader’s Breakfast Series are the fabulous duo from Clever Cookie Academy - Peita and Rob Mages.
 


Clever Cookie Academy has taken the local tutoring world by storm with their colourful branding and commitment to make learning fun.
 


Peita and Rob started with two students in a shed and have grown into an established academy working from an entire office floor, helping over 400 students tackle their learning challenges and excel.
 


Peita is a Minister’s Award for Excellence in Teaching recipient for achieving record-breaking HSC results. She is a teacher trainer, expert speaker, and lover of literature. She’s a pusher and is renowned for her dogged determination to help her students achieve incredible results.Prior to teaching, Peita worked in the film industry for Walt Disney Pictures, Sony  Pictures and Universal Pictures as a National Publicity and Promotions Manager. Hobbies include baking at inappropriate hours and lurking outside of her comfort zone.
 


Rob absolutely HATED mathematics as a child (unlike a lot of maths teachers), and it is believed this is the precise reason he’s so good at explaining its tricky concepts to students. His background in the corporate sector means that he always links his teaching of mathematical concepts to a real-world setting, tackling the ‘when will I EVER use this in my life’ question, head on. Rob's never give up mentality is known to rub off on his students and he is forever providing outside of hours support to Cookies stuck on maths problems.
 
This interview is an inspiring look into a husband and wife team who took a leap into business and never looked back.
