A teacher is teaching a student

As an ESL pullout teacher working with students across multiple grade levels, Genia Miles brings over a decade of teaching experience to her diverse classroom. Her passion for creating engaging learning environments that support language development drives her innovative approach to ESL instruction.

The Challenge

Teaching ESL across grade levels from PreK to 5th grade requires highly adaptable teaching methods and personalized support. With students at various stages of English language development, Genia needed a solution that could help deliver customized content while maintaining engagement across different age groups and proficiency levels.

  • Customizable assessment tools for different learning levels
  • Visual content integration capabilities
  • Interactive test creation around images
  • A seamless Google Classroom workflow
  • Multi-format question types for varied assessment

Real Results

After implementing Kami, Genia has seen:

  • Students become excited about learning activities
  • Improved academic outcomes through customized content
  • Time saved through more efficient lesson planning and content creation
  • Enhanced ability to meet diverse student needs
  • Better student and classroom engagement across all grade levels

In Genia’s Words

“Kami’s definitely a time-saver, but I’ve also seen an improvement in student grades. I control the content, so I can make sure they’re learning effectively with different strategies.” – Genia Miles, ESL Teacher
