As a former primary-age teacher, I enjoy tailoring lessons to meet each student’s needs and providing multi-sensory opportunities to understand concepts on a deep level. I seek to develop a strong relationship with each student to help ease anxiety and allow the student’s abilities to shine. I am flexible and adjust lessons as needed so that the learner’s needs are being met.
I am trained in:
- Yoshimoto Orton Gillingham International
- Multisensory Math
- Wired for Reading
- Handwriting Without Tears
- Singapore Math
I offer virtual and in-person sessions. For best results, students need to commit to at least two, 50-minute sessions a week per subject. Handwriting lessons can be added to the session.
Investment:
- $50 per math or language session (includes tailored lesson planning, instructional session, and lesson notes)
- $15 per handwriting lesson (includes tailored lesson planning, instructional session, and lesson notes)
- Virtual students may need to buy or rent additional materials to make the sessions as multisensory as possible

“We have worked with Kayla as a tutor for 3 years; 2nd grade through 4th. Initially, we hired Kayla to fill in gaps where COVID learning was causing holes. In 3rd grade, our kiddo started to show signs of dyslexia & big gaps in the modern standards for reading.
We increased our time with Kayla, & by the end of the school year testing had improved so much she was ready for 4th grade.
Our oldest (13) has a learning disability & is dyslexic. So we hired Kayla for our middle schooler to teach him cursive, which is on Kayla’s long list of school certifications. So far our kiddo is very happy & excited to be learning a “special” form of writing.
Our family has known Kayla as a person for 2 decades & her dedication to education is remarkable.
We recommend Kayla to anyone looking for an educated, attentive, patient, & affordable tutor!”
