I have a B.A. in Elementary Education and a B.A. in Spanish. I taught English in Spain as a Fulbright scholar. I have 6 years of experience tutoring in every grade from kindergarten through 10th, as well as adult learners. I have tutored several subjects, but have the most experience with Math, Spanish, Elementary subjects, and English. I love being able to work with students on these subjects in particular and see improvement in their understanding and their grades! I've tutored many and have received very positive feedback. I want to see the learners I tutor succeed!
I am passionate about working with students to make progress and achieve their personal goals. I have 5 years of experience teaching, most recently in first grade bilingual / dual language classrooms, requiring me to teach in the entire day in Spanish, with the exception of 30 minutes each day.
I love math! I believe that everyone has the ability to be a good mathematician, but this takes patience and practice. I don't believe in drills and time tests; I believe in helping students building a deeper conceptual understanding. I have always enjoyed math myself and have taken many math courses, including receiving credit for AP Calculus. The majority of my tutoring experience has been with math, so this is a subject that I feel very comfortable and excited about helping students with!

I am extremely passionate about the Spanish language. I studied abroad in Spain for a semester and lived and taught there for a school year. I have spent the last several years teaching in Spanish in first grade bilingual classrooms. Teaching, math, and Spanish are three things I love! I have been tutoring for several years and I have had really great experiences with students in a variety of different subjects and ages. My goal is to help students improve their comprehension and achieve their personal academic goals.

I have 5 years experience plus an additional 600 hours of experience in elementary classrooms. While I have had the opportunity to experience all elementary grades, the majority of my teaching experience has been in first grade bilingual classrooms, allowing me to understand the foundational skills and break down later concepts for older students, as well. I hold a B.A. in Elementary Education and Spanish.

Amazing Spanish Tutor!

My rising 1st grader just had her first lesson with Kyra and she loved it. Kyra was able to keep her engaged for the full hour and my daughter wanted more time after the lessons was over.

Fabulous Spanish Tutor

My daughter was taking an online 9th grade Spanish class this year and needed additional help to work through the material and hear proper pronunciation of words. Kyra was professional, smart and encouraging. She provided detailed explanations of the grammar rules and made conversing fun! My daughter earned an A in her class and learned so much. We will continue working with Kyra Sophomore year. I highly recommend Kyra!

Kyra tailors her lessons based on my daughter’s needs. She is wonderful to work with and with her help my daughter’s grammar, speaking, and writing has improved.

Wonderful Spanish Tutor that Makes Lessons Fun

We cannot recommend Kyra highly enough — she plans out her lessons in advance and clearly communicates session objectives. She works hard to practice specific issues my daughter is focusing on in class. Most importantly, she designs each lesson in a way that is enjoyable for my daughter. Working with her has definitely improved my daughter’s Spanish. She is also very professional, proactive, and reliable with scheduling. We really appreciate all she does!

Knowledgeable and dedicated instructor

She goes above and beyond to help me improve my English skills. Very patient, attentive, sharp and funny to study with. Totally recommend her mainly if you are a learning English as an adult or have a Portuguese or Spanish as a native language.

Well qualified and positive

Kyra was helpful at assessing the current state of Spanish knowledge and providing tips on how to move forward in Spanish I. We are looking forward to more help from her in the future!
