Hi, I'm Kayla! I attended 'Iolani School where I graduated Valedictorian and attended Brown University where I studied computer science and entrepreneurship. Throughout high school and college, I've loved teaching other students! I was a teacher's aid for Japanese language students, and also was a one-on-one tutor for Algebra and Writing. I have seen great results working with students by improving their study habits and developing personalized lesson plans. I'll take time prior to our lessons to re-study the necessary material and create productive lesson schedules. If you have any concerns, please reach out to me and I will accommodate as best I can!
For Algebra and math, I develop specifically targeted practice problems and be supportive and understanding. Regarding my own SAT Math, I received an 800 in the section twice after studying and using techniques that I would love to share with other students.
Speaking from my own testing experiences, I improved my PSAT score by over 200 points and ACT score by 5 points by studying. I hope to share my techniques consisting of doing practice tests, analyzing incorrect problems, and creating lessons going over difficult concepts.
I worked as a Writing Center tutor at my high school. I read essays and gave feedback on their essay structure, grammar, etc.
The college application process is difficult, so I hope to help students navigate this space. I have first-hand experience working through multiple applications to top colleges, and I want to share my experience about what worked and what didn't work.
At Brown University, I was a Peer Career Advisor at our career center. I helped students with resumes, cover letters, interviews, job searches, and more.
Overall, I hope to be able to help students reach their fullest potential! I will always be empathetic towards their needs and have clear and open communication. Please contact me to schedule a lesson or if you have any questions, and I'll respond promptly! Thank you so much for your consideration!
