Hello! My name is Kayla, and I am a psychology major at Wayne State University with a passion for helping students reach their academic goals. I graduated from high school with a 3.1 GPA, earning honors distinction and the prestigious AP Capstone Diploma, which required advanced coursework in research, literature, language, and seminar. During my academic journey I became a five-time scholarship recipient, experiences that taught me the importance of persistence, organization, and effective study strategies. I am also the founding president of the National Society of Black Women in Medicine on my campus, where I mentor fellow students and lead events that encourage academic excellence and personal growth.

My tutoring approach is warm, patient, and adaptable to each student’s unique needs. I draw on my own success in rigorous courses—such as AP English, AP Seminar, and advanced science classes—to teach practical skills like breaking down complex topics, creating structured study plans, and building confidence through consistent practice. Whether working one-on-one or with small groups, I focus on creating an encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing critical-thinking skills. I believe that every student can thrive with the right support, and I am excited to share strategies that have helped me excel in both high school and college.

If you are looking for a tutor who understands the challenges of advanced coursework and is committed to helping you succeed, I would love to work with you. Together we can set clear goals, build effective habits, and celebrate your progress along the way!
