Hello! My name is Miss Jenn. I am a certified ADHD coach and an English tutor. I have been tutoring personally and professionally for 30 years. I have been a teacher for 6 years. I have taught online, in private sessions, and in a classroom. I have taught students at all skill levels and all ages. I excel at working with students who have difficulty learning in a traditional classroom setting. I have worked with students who have learning disabilities, executive functioning disorders, and disciplinary problems. My teaching style is relaxed, student driven, and sometimes silly. Education is hard work, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun.

I have my B.S. in English/Writing from Towson University and my TEFL certification from Bridge. I also completed the Teaching IELTS Preparation course at Premier TEFL. My ADHD coaching certification comes from ADD Coaching Academy.

Great motivator!

Jennifer is helping my son get back on track with school. He has ADD and often does the work but doesn't turn it in. She is doing a great job helping him develop strategies to stay focused and want to get the work done. She is also helping him focus on his future in a way that doesn't shut him down. She's great!

I am so happy that your son is able to put our lessons into everyday practice! He is a delight to work with and talk to. He has a bright future ahead!

Best ADHD Coach!

I want to start off by saying I am an adult, and I have ADHD and high-functioning Autism. Before Jen’s tutelage, I would never have even considered going back to school as a possibility, as I felt I was at a severe disadvantage because I was taught in a way that did not compute with how my brain worked. I was never taught any other alternatives for studying, so to compensate I spent hours struggling to keep up in school, and it quickly became a major stressor in my life, which was distressing as I enjoy learning new things. Since seeking out Jen for guidance, she is genuinely the best coach I have ever had! She is incredibly patient and thorough in figuring out how my brain works and helping devise and adjust a plan for improving my study habits and navigating my ADHD better in and out of school. I am back in school right now, and the difference is like night and day. My stress is manageable, I am able to take on more coursework, and most importantly, I cut down my studying time significantly.   After many conversations in our sessions, she has helped me come to appreciate a part of myself I used to resent a bit. She is the first tutor to show me that there is beauty in being idiosyncratic! There truly is no wrong way in my thinking or how I approach the world. Just because the world wasn’t ready for me doesn’t mean I am not ready for it now. If you are looking for a coach to help manage your ADHD, Jen is the first and only person I would ever recommend!

Easy to work with, knowledgeable!

My son rarely gives positive feedback on teachers however he said Jennifer was really nice and personable, knows her stuff, and wasn’t boring/dry like other English tutors can be. That’s splendid for us as he is looking forward to learning more with her!

Tutor responded:

Well, that is high praise indeed. And I truly appreciate it. We have been having a lot of fun while we learn about punctuation and verb tenses. You might not think commas are funny, but we certainly had a good laugh.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Jennifer is helping my son find strategies to organize and manage his time. She has a flexible, practical approach and understands that different strategies will work for different kids!

Knows her materials very well and very capable of handling challenges

Jennifer is a very responsible and capable tutor. Her knowledge of the subject makes it easy for my son to understand the boring and hard to understand Shakespeare material. She’s also able to handle challenges by motivating my son to learn the material. Due to her expertise and kind nature, I would recommend her to anyone I know.
