Verified Tutor
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education, and I have completed around 45%. I have worked as a relief special needs education assistant over the past 6 years in both mainstream schools and specialised schools. I have previously worked in early childhood education and as a disability support carer.
With a long history supporting children with disabilities and additional needs, Kayla brings deep patience and practical strategies to her tutoring. She has completed training in how trauma affects childrenโs development and behaviour, sensory-based regulation, and understanding and managing anxiety in children. In practice, this means she can recognise when a child is overwhelmed and adjust the session with movement breaks, sensory tools or quieter activities. Parents looking for someone who โgetsโ their childโs challenges will find Kayla thoughtful, observant and proactive.
Kayla blends her early childhood studies with real-world experience running playgroups and facilitating peer support sessions for parents and caregivers. She often turns maths and English concepts into playful, hands-on activities that feel more like games than lessons, which is especially effective for primary students. As a foster carer and volunteer playgroup co-ordinator, she understands family pressures and communicates clearly with parents about progress and next steps. This tutor aims to make learning enjoyable while steadily building core skills and independence.
