I also taught 8th grade Language Arts in Sioux Falls, SD, before transitioning into social work and educating youth, families, and administration on the realms of human trafficking, domestic violence, and abuse.

Hey there!

As a graduate from Bethel University in St. Paul, MN, I taught 11th and 12th grade English Literature and Writing and tutored in the writing center at the high school in Coon Rapids, MN. I also taught 8th grade Language Arts in Sioux Falls, SD, before transitioning into social work and educating youth, families, and administration on the realms of human trafficking, domestic violence, and abuse.

I love teaching and tutoring, and I would love to help you develop your skills, whether it be in English Literature and Writing or in subjects related to social work and psychology. I currently hold a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California with an endorsement in Juvenile Justice. I served as a mental health therapist and medical social worker at a local hospital in South Dakota from 2019-2022. Currently, I tutor wonderful students and serve as an adjunct professor for a local university. Additionally, I am pursuing my Doctorate in Social Work from Simmons University and will graduate in August 2024.

In January 2021, I received an award and recognition as a top 10% tutor in 2020!

In December 2022 I began serving on a review board for the University of Houston's College of Social Work, specifically for the Perspectives on Social Work Journal.

Please feel free to reach out for any needs you may have. I look forward to meeting you and working with you!

Best,
Kaylena R.

Incredible teacher

My daughter is not a fan of writing or reading for that matter. However, in the first two weeks, Kaylena has turned that around. Now, my daughter is excited about her work and seems to be enjoying it. I highly recommend Kaylena, she is worth every dime and then some.

So helpful

My daughter needed help with an essay and Kaylena was able to go above and beyond. Remote learning can be tough but Kaylena is so insightful and kind which makes her able to connect with students. One on one tutoring is the best with ladies like Kaylena. She is amazing! God bless her.

great tutor

Kaylena does a great job with my son in college who has Aspergers and struggles with executive functioning. She is patient and tutors in a way that makes him feel good and not micromanaged.

Kaylena is THE BEST!!!

Kaylena exceeded our expectations! She is simply the BEST! During a challenging time for my daughter (13 years old and Middle School), Kaylena took the time to get to know my daughter, her unique learning challenges, and developed a plan to help her succeed. Our family is blessed to have found Kaylena! :-)
