Kayla H.

Kayla holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in chemistry and has always loved working with students. With 11 years of experience teaching high school chemistry and physics, Kayla loves helping students take subjects that can feel intimidating and make them feel much more manageable. The feeling of accomplishment when a student tackles a complex chemistry or physics problem is a shared endeavor that Kayla loves to celebrate with her students. She also has 3 years of experience as a chemistry teaching assistant and adjunct instructor at the university level, as well as over 10 years of tutoring experience working with students one-on-one, both in person and virtually, as well as in small groups. Whether a student needs help mastering the basics, preparing for a big exam, or building confidence in a subject they’ve struggled with, Kayla knows that tutoring is not a “one size fits all” situation and enjoys finding the approach that works best for each individual student. Originally from Chicago, Kayla also considers herself a bit of a pizza connoisseur. Despite living away from Chicago for years, she has yet to find a pizza that truly measures up to Chicago-style pizza. The search continues, and suggestions are welcome!
