My 2nd & 4th grade kids worked with Kayla over the summer to maintain and build their reading skills. She was great. She was kind and encouraging. My girls really enjoyed working with her and built skills that improved their reading speed and confidence.

I'm glad she did better today! I do think a lot of it is too easy for her? It does build her confidence. It was interesting the things that she liked doing and those she didn't. Do you think she has any learning disabilities or do you think that she is behind because of her start in schooling? Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Very kind, patient and helpful

Is currently helping my daughter learn letter sounds and have better phonemic awareness. My daughter liked her tutoring session with her very much. I would recommend Kayla as a tutor to other people.

Great first lesson

Excellent first session. Kept our daughters attention the entire time and was very engaging. It was nice to see an improvement just over one lesson.
