About Leyla
In my free time I enjoy playing piano, drawing, reading novels, and watching documentaries! I also love taking walking holidays like Bilbo (a Hobbit/Lord of the Rings character - books I highly recommend), and throwing super elaborate themed dinners. Within the last few years I starting learning to sew, and am enjoying the challenge of learning a new skill.
As a teacher I strive to center the learner’s wellness because I know that anxiety and depression are critical struggles experienced by many young people today. In order to invest in a student's academic success, I must first see that student as a person to be supported holistically. I believe in the healing potential of literature for both students and educators. What would it be like if reading and writing were consistently a source of joy and/or catharsis? I value authentic caring, and believe that emotional wellness is central to academic success.

I was a high school English Language Arts teacher before starting my PhD, so I am prepared to work with students who are middle school age and older. I can support the development of your creative and academic/essay writing skills, reading comprehension of both literature and poetry, and discussion strategies. I am also trained in ACT prep.
My tutoring style is to personalize lessons to the needs of each student I have the honor of supporting. A general structure you can expect includes a brief check-in, setting goals for the session as well as for the rest of your week, and then moving into work time. As the bulk of our session, work time will consist of reaching the goals we set for the session. That might involve me teaching specific skills and then practicing them with you by going through reading and writing activities, or us working on a particular assignment. A particular strategy I like to employ (especially for long sessions) is the Pomodoro Method, a series of rotations between work time and short breaks that allow for high quality focus and reduce burnout.
