About Kayla

Hi, I'm Kayla! I am on break from Brown University after spending three years focusing in Africana Studies--which means my everyday work was spent reading and writing scholarly texts. I have always had a passion for the written word, and my studies gave me plenty of room to sharpen those skills. The professors and teaching assistants I encountered set an example in breaking down complicated concepts that we approached in these scholarly readings, and I find that that example follows me into tutoring. With my lesson plans, I look to break the difficult writing styles and techniques used in standardized testing down into bite-sized pieces to study and understand. We will learn these little bits, practice them, and then combine them until each student is confident enough to step up to the plate with English competency. Tutoring brings me joy when I can witness students growing and being proud of themselves after realizing that English is approachable for all of us!
