About Kiarra

Hi! I’m Kiarra, founder of Work Smart, Be Smart Tutoring.

I’ve been working with students for more than 10 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that when a student says, “I don’t get it,” there is usually a reason.

Maybe a foundational skill was missed. Maybe the explanation moved too quickly. Maybe they understand the concept but not the way it was presented. Or maybe everyone keeps repeating the same explanation and expecting it to suddenly click.

That is usually where I come in.

I work with students from elementary school through adulthood, including traditional and homeschool students, college students, adult learners, and students preparing for exams such as the GED. I’ve also worked with students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, executive functioning challenges, math anxiety, and other learning differences.

Academically, I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from the Academy of Art University, and I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Educational Leadership. I also have college-level teaching experience.

But my approach to tutoring is not just about what I know. It is about figuring out how to explain what I know in a way that makes sense to the person sitting in front of me.

I’m a big believer in meeting students where they are, finding the point where things stopped making sense, and building from there.

Sometimes that means strengthening a foundational skill. Sometimes it means explaining the same concept three different ways. And sometimes it means slowing down and answering the question a student was afraid to ask because everyone else seemed to already understand it.

The goal is not just to get through tonight’s homework or finish one worksheet.

I want my students to understand what they are doing, why they are doing it, and eventually feel confident enough to do it without me.

About the lesson

Have you ever had someone explain a problem like this?

“First, set up the equation. Then divide both sides. Then solve for x.”

Okay...but how did you know to do any of that?

That question is a huge part of how I teach.

I call it explaining the steps within the steps.

A lot of students are taught the major steps of solving a problem, but the smaller decisions in between are skipped.

So instead of only showing you what to do, I want us to talk about things like:

Why did we start there?

What clue in the problem told us what to do?

Why are we using this operation or formula?

How do I know when to use this again?

And what happens when the next problem looks completely different?

That is where a lot of the actual learning happens.

When we first start working together, I look at what you already know, where you are getting stuck, and whether there are any foundational gaps making the current material harder than it needs to be.

From there, we build.

If my first explanation does not make sense, I do not just repeat it louder or slower. We try another way.

Sometimes we draw it. Sometimes we break it into smaller pieces. Sometimes we work backward. Sometimes I ask you to explain what *you* think is happening so I can figure out exactly where the disconnect is.

And yes, sometimes we have to go back and relearn something from three chapters ago before the current problem finally makes sense.

That is completely okay.

I work with students of different ages, learning styles, and academic backgrounds, including students preparing for the GED and students with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, learning differences, and math anxiety.

My goal is not for you to memorize how I solved one problem.

I want you to start recognizing the patterns, clues, and decisions for yourself so that eventually, when you see a new problem, you have a way to figure out what to do next.

Because the best moment for me is not when a student says, “I got the answer.”

It is when they say:
*“Ohhhh. Okay. NOW I see why.”

Kiarra has been the help we needed when my son was really struggling in school. She takes time to understand his needs and learn his personality to be able to better approach his learning style. You can tell she truly cares about what she does and that the goal is to help kids. She’s super understanding of parent and financial situations as well. When we got to the end of the school year and we had a few make up sessions, she assured me we’d be able to pick it right back up once school started again. Very flexible with time and will always ensure you get exactly what you and your child needs if not more. Would absolutely recommend her time and time again!

Kiarra is a great tutor! We have been working together for the past 8 months. She really reinforces concepts to ensure that you understand. She is also very patient and can explain complex topics using natural language that anyone can understand! When I am struggling with a concept, she uses real-world examples to help me understand it. She is very flexible and works with her students to coordinate availability and frequency. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a tutor or is even thinking about going to tutoring!
