We had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer last night for my sons first private tutoring session. I don't know why I waited this long to set something like this up. Jennifer was amazing. She is super friendly, informative, and encouraging. My son loved her, he was engaged the entire session, which is huge! I can never get him to do math for more than 5 minutes and she had him doing it for an hour. I am amazed.
