Experienced Kindergarten Educator Offering Engaging, Personalized Tutoring to Build Strong Reading and Math Foundations

I have had the pleasure of knowing Iyana for about five years. We first worked together at La Petite Academy, where we co-taught in a toddler classroom, supporting children from infancy through pre-K. We now work together again at the same school, and I’ve been able to continue seeing her grow as an educator.

What I appreciate most about Iyana’s teaching methods is her intentional, data-driven approach. She takes the time to assess what students already know and builds from there, rather than focusing only on what they are missing. She uses student data to guide her instruction and makes thoughtful decisions that truly support student growth.

One experience that stands out is when I transitioned into our current school. Iyana played a huge role in helping me learn the curriculum and strengthen my instructional practices. She supported me in understanding how to differentiate instruction and meet the needs of all learners. Her classroom management is calm and effective, and she consistently creates lessons that are aligned to what students need to know and do in order to master a skill.

Iyana is a dedicated educator who brings both passion and patience to her work. She creates a positive learning environment, supports her colleagues, and truly cares about the success of her students. She not only spreads knowledge but also brings joy into the workplace, which makes her an exceptional tutor and teacher.
