Hello, I'm Kaia! I graduated as Summa Cum Claude with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a NC teacher’s license. I am a Private Academic Interventionist who specializes in helping students bridge foundational skill gaps and boost confidence by building the conceptual understanding they need to successfully progress to the next grade level. I have a year of student teaching experience at a college preparatory school, along with almost a year of classroom, group, and one-on-one lead teaching and academic intervention experience. In the classroom setting, I noticed the potential so many of my students had. They just needed a tutor who could give them a little extra attention to draw it out. I then started providing Academic Intervention services, specializing in providing targeted instruction that leads to visible results and an increase in student confidence.
I have had the privilege of working with students who struggle with ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, and other learning needs, and I implement Orton-Gillingham strategies into my lessons whenever possible. I use the I Do, We Do, You Do method and personalize lessons to help each student learn the way they do best. I also keep my students engaged with fun activities and incentives, and I strongly believe in the importance of guiding students to form a true love of learning. I believe in not just helping a student get the right answer, but that each student must build the conceptual knowledge and foundational skills necessary to progress successfully. Previous clients have remarked on noticeable improvements in Math Fluency and confidence boosts. Spelling and other ELA subject understanding have also immensely improved for my previous students. I'm easy to work with, and I'm always happy to hear parents' input and work together to find what works best for my students. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson!
