The author's daughter Isa was in need of a math tutor going into 5th grade. A family friend recommended Kayla Mecca, who quickly developed a strong rapport and connection with Isa. Kayla ensured Isa was prepared for 5th grade math and empowered her to learn concepts ahead of her classes. Even after moving away, Kayla continued tutoring Isa virtually. To this day, Isa remains ahead in math class due to Kayla's teachings. Isa now excels in math and science, inspired by both her learning from Kayla and Kayla serving as a role model.
