Jesse was an outstanding AP English Literature tutor for my son. Over the course of their sessions, my son made a lot of progress not only in organizing his essays, but in developing clearer, more thoughtful literary analysis. Jesse has a real gift for helping students structure their ideas and encouraging originality and depth. I would highly recommend Jesse to any student preparing for AP English Literature or looking to strengthen their writing and analytical skills.
