About Jane


Bio

I’m Jane, and I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in engineering from Cornell University. In college, the professors I liked the best were those who loved what they did, brought this passion to the classroom, and showed a genuine interest in their students. I try to bring this lesson forward in all my tutoring sessions by ensuring that students feel engaged every step of the way.

I’m Jane, and I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in engineering from Cornell University. In college, the professors I liked the best were those who loved what they did, brought this passion to the classroom, and showed a genuine interest in their students. I try to bring this lesson forward in all my tutoring sessions by ensuring that students feel engaged every step of the way.

I have 15+ years of experience in tutoring grade school, high school and college students for Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Pre-calculus, and Calculus as well as SAT and ACT preparation. My tutoring experience has allowed me to work with students with abilities across the learning spectrum. This experience has helped me to understand the importance of tailoring my tutoring sessions to the individual student by asking questions to understand how each student thinks. Additionally, my experience has taught me that sometimes a student is missing one little skill that, if uncovered and worked with, can unlock that student’s ability to move forward. Where applicable for younger students, I often introduce fun math games to strengthen those students’ basic math skills. I think that one of my strengths is my patience. Another strength is that I understand that it is essential to build a student’s confidence as he or she learns.

Since parents know their children better than anyone else, I welcome any insight they can provide to help me help their children achieve the best results possible. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime to discuss your student or to schedule a tutoring session.

Amazing Algebra 1 tutor

This is a long overdue review. Jane is absolutely incredible. She has been tutoring my daughter in Algebra 1 for two months. My daughter went from VERY low scores on tests and quizzes to getting A's and B+'s on every quiz/test since working with Jane. The scores are important, but what is most important to me, is observing my daughter being confident in math for the FIRST time ever. The anxiety and stress have been relieved because she actually UNDERSTANDS the math now thanks to Jane. Jane was able to find and fill gaps in my daughter's math in a very short time and has a way of explaining math concepts that are relatable and easier to understand. And best of all, my daughter loves working with Jane. Highly recommend.

attentive, patient, and knowledgeable

Jane taught my daughter Algebra and did an excellent job. My daughter was very happy and felt confident about what she learned after the lesson. She is attentive, patient, and knowledgeable in teaching students. Additionally, she is very responsive and accommodating. I truly appreciate that she accepted a last-minute lesson request for my daughter

Great experience

My son needed last minute tutoring for a test coming up and Jane was able to fit us in immediately. I can’t remember exactly what his grade was but I know he got an A which is what he needed. This was a great experience and will definitely use Jane again!!

My daughter’s grades have already improved thanks to Jane. She helps my daughter understand the concepts and then practice through repetition

We highly recommend her tutoring!

Jane helped my daughter prepare a new chapter and test on Geometry. My daughter came out from her room after the session in a relaxing and happy mood. This seemed as if a tangled thread had been untangled. Jane's session targeted my daughter's unsure parts. Jane is a well-experienced and valuable tutor. We highly recommend her tutoring.

Knowledgeable, patient and kind

Jane's passion for teaching and her love of learning shines through! Her approach to tutoring is infused with empathy, patience and kindness. Jane's understanding of the pressures placed upon students in today's competitive academic environment is spot-on. I share her conviction that the key to success in mathematics—as well as math standardized test prep— is for students to build a strong foundation in the discipline.
