About Mikayla

Hello my name is Mikayla! I am a 5th grade teacher with an educational background in Human development and Education. As a teacher with a year of experience and three years of tutoring experience (with Teach for America), I specialize in Reading and ELA. Empowering students to reach their full potential is my passion and I believe students can achieve their goals with the right support . By observing how students interact with new material, I tailor my methods using visual aids, and discussions to suit students specific needs. I prioritize relationship building so when concepts feel challenging, I am able to connect them to the scholars personal interests and celebrate every small success to keep them motivated. I value clear communication and collaboration. I love to witness a child's confidence grow as they master new skills! I am comfortable with pets and happy to meet at your home or online. I look forward to helping your child discover how much they are capable of achieving!
