"Janet is Great!"

- Mike H. from San Mateo, CA

Very patient, calm and reassuring, Janet really understands why a child cannot understand and solve math problems. She has connected on a personal level with Melissa and is able to patiently guide her through complicated Algebra problems, without making it stressful. An excellant tutor!

"Janet is great!"

- Christine O. from San Mateo, CA

Janet is very patient and always attempts to meet me where I am. She adjusts her approach to ensure that I learn the material by not introducing too many approaches at once. I work full-time, so we are often meeting at my office in the evening. Before meeting with Janet, I have often worked 10 hours and when I greet her I am often ramped up and exhausted at the same time. Janet's calm and nurturing approach allows me to wind down quickly and the 2 hours we spend together flies by. I am able to stay engaged the entire time. I couldn't do it all without her and truly value her support.

"Janet has saved us!!"

- Carol M. from Redwood City, CA

I just need to say that we have the best tutor!!! My husband desperately needed tutoring for his Algebra college course. Janet has come through for him (for us) with flying colors. She is flexible with her schedule, she has made my husband feel very comfortable, and best of all, she is teaching him exactly what he needs to know to pass his tests. According to my husband, Janet has the ability to take very difficult things and make them understandable. Yeah, we are very happy. PS. And even though I'm not in the session, she must be VERY patient!!

More On Janet's Subjects

elementary (k-6th)

Hello, After 25 years of teaching K-12 all grades and all subjects, I believe I am qualified to tutor any subject in the kindergarten through sixth grade level. My credential is in English, math and science, but I believe I am qualified to tutor any subject. I have a way of figuring out if a student is stuck and get him or her past that place. I have a way of explaining a difficult subject on a simple level. I am patient. Thank you for your interest. Janet Wherry


ESL/ESOL

My experience teaching ESL is as follows: I worked as an English teacher at The Discovery Center American School, Taiwan. 2007-2008. I also taught math and science there. From 1983 on, I have taught ESL in Redwood City at Wherry Academy. At one time I had a class with students from Taiwan, Mexico and South Korea. My English skills are strong. I am a published writer of young adult science fiction. I am currently enrolled in a doctoral program at the University of Phoenix. My grades in writing there are always A level. I have a way of explaining things clearly, which helps when speaking with a student with English as a second language.
