Mikayla W.

Hi! My name is Mikayla and I am currently at Ontario Tech University finishing up my Bachelor’s of Education, which will qualify me to teach kindergarten through grade 6. Prior to teachers college, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Trent University, deepening my understanding of how children grow and learn.

Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience working in diverse educational settings, from daycares to elementary schools. This background has given me insight into the unique learning styles and needs of each child. I also have experience facilitating the UFLI structured literacy program to further support your child’s language development.

I am passionate about creating a nurturing and supportive environment where your child feels comfortable and empowered to succeed. I believe that every achievement, no matter how small, should be celebrated, as it fosters confidence and a love for learning. My approach is rooted in kindness, patience, and compassion, ensuring that your child feels valued and understood. Together, we can unlock their potential and make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Outside of tutoring I love to go on walks, spend time with friends and family, and baking!
