In the summer of 2014, my wife and I began seeking a math tutor for our daughter Isa, a then-
rising fifth grader. While Isa had done well in her GT-track math classes since she entered the
gifted and talented program in third grade, ominous stories from parents whose students were
a year ahead gave us some cause for concern, hence our search for a tutor who could help to
ensure that our little girl was definitely ready for the year ahead. Thankfully, our asking around
resulted in a family friend recommending to us her daughter's math tutor.
I cannot overstate the good fortune that came our way in the form of that math tutor, a bright,
warm college student named Kayla Mecca. From the moment Kayla and Isa met, they seemed
instantly to have an easy rapport. My wife (a child and adolescent psychotherapist) and I (a
veteran teacher) were amazed at how quickly Kayla fostered a natural, teacherly connection
with Isa. This rapport allowed Kayla not only to set the stage to make sure Isa was ready for
fifth grade GT math but to also empower Isa to get ahead in math and begin working on
concepts and skills that she'd need in future coursework. When Kayla moved away last year,
she continued to work with Isa via video conferencing, so it's fair to say that not even distance
could interfere with the work these two began in the summer of 2014. To this day, Isa
continues working with Kayla and continues to be ahead of the curve in her math class. Isa's
remarks on her day-to-day classwork usually involve statements like "We started something
new today in class, but Kayla and I did that months ago," or "I breezed through this new lesson
because of what Kayla taught me a while back."
Isa is now a sixth grader who excels in science and math and aspires one day to work for NASA'S
Jet Propulsion Laboratory. We cherish that tiny flame that burns in our daughter, and we look
forward to seeing it grow. In the meantime, we are thankful for Kayla Mecca and everything
she's done to fan that flame both by teaching and by example as Kayla is not only Isa's tutor but
one of her role models as well. While we have no doubt that Kayla's brain and her heart will
take her places, we hope to have her in our daughter's life for as long as we can as her
contributions have been and will no doubt continue to be immeasurable.
