Kayla
Certified ACT English Tutor in Boston, MA
I am a very experienced high school and middle school teacher/tutor, as I have been tutoring or teaching in some capacity since August of 2010. I have always loved making personal connections with students and helping them make daunting studies (such as math or test preparation) more approachable. My favorite part of my job is empowering students to be more independent learners and helping them develop confidence in their abilities.

Certified ACT English Tutor in Boston, MA
Teaching is my passion. When I am not tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work in medical research. I love the idea of helping patients feel better and especially kids. If I had to say something about my outlook, it is that I am thankful for what I do, privileged to be part of so many lives, and hopeful that my skills will make a difference.

...studied Biomedical Engineering at both Boston University during undergrad and Tufts University for my masters. After much thought, I deviated from a medical school track to pursue a career in the medical device industry. My love for math and science started around middle school, and I was strongly influenced by my teachers. Through tutoring, I hope to be a similar influence. I really enjoy working with students of all ages (elementary to grads!) In my...

This sparked my interest in tutoring, and the year after I graduated I tutored student athletes at the university in English, History and Mythology classes. I believe that all students are highly capable, they...
