About Makaela

Empowering students to think critically and solve complex problems is the foundation of my teaching practice. With three years of experience supporting elementary and middle school learners, I specialize in Math, English, Science, Test Preparation, Business, and Study Skills. I prioritize active listening to identify your unique learning style, allowing me to tailor my approach through visual aids, hands-on activities, and collaborative discussions. When a topic feels challenging, I break it into manageable steps and connect the material to your personal interests to maintain momentum. I believe open communication is essential for tracking progress and ensuring your success. Nothing is more rewarding than witnessing that "aha!" moment when a difficult concept finally clicks. I am happy to meet you at your home, a library, or online to help you reach your academic goals. I look forward to supporting your growth and celebrating your achievements together.
