Kayla: Pawtucket tutor
Certified Tutor
My current role in a K-3 resource room for students with challenging behaviors has solidified my belief in the power of differentiation. Some students require additional behavioral or emotional support, while others thrive when given independence. I strive to meet students where they are and guide them forward, celebrating every achievement along the way.
In addition to academic instruction, I prioritize fostering emotional resilience and social development. I believe these skills are equally important for students with special needs to thrive. By building a positive, inclusive classroom environment, I aim to create a space where every child feels they belong, not only academically but as part of a supportive community.
Differentiation is about more than adapting lessonsit's about seeing the whole child and working alongside them to unlock their potential. I am passionate about this approach because it honors the individuality of each student and recognizes that learning is an ongoing, deeply personal journey.

In my free time, I enjoy activities that nurture both my physical and mental well-being, as well as my sense of adventure. Yoga is a central part of my daily routine, offering me a space for mindfulness and inner balance. It allows me to center myself, manage stress, and maintain a healthy connection between mind and body. I also have a passion for working out, as it keeps me energized and focused. Whether it’s lifting weights, running, or engaging in high-intensity training, I appreciate how physical exercise pushes my limits and helps me stay disciplined and resilient. Beyond fitness, I find joy in being in nature. Whether it’s hiking through forests, walking along the beach, or simply sitting in a park, the outdoors helps me reconnect with myself and the world around me. Nature has always been a grounding force for me, providing clarity and peace. Traveling is another one of my greatest passions. Exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and immersing myself in unfamiliar environments fuels my curiosity and desire for personal growth. Traveling the world has opened my eyes to the beauty of diversity, and it continually inspires me to embrace new perspectives.
