About Janna


Bio

I've been tutoring since I was 9 years old when I helped out my 4-year-old neighbor. I love teaching one-on-one and helping students really connect and understand what they are learning. I was a classroom teacher for a year but found that one-on-one or small group teaching is much more fun and enjoyable! I had the opportunity to teach as a private homeschool teacher for three separate families with different needs for over 4 years total and absolutely loved it.

I've been tutoring since I was 9 years old when I helped out my 4-year-old neighbor. I love teaching one-on-one and helping students really connect and understand what they are learning. I was a classroom teacher for a year but found that one-on-one or small group teaching is much more fun and enjoyable! I had the opportunity to teach as a private homeschool teacher for three separate families with different needs for over 4 years total and absolutely loved it.

I have been gifted with a heart for teaching and education. My job is to learn a students' way of thinking and seeing, and then use that to help them understand the subjects and concepts they are learning. My job is also to help them understand themselves and the way they view the world so that they can move towards feeling more confident and being more successful in other aspects of their education as well.

I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in Elementary Education. I taught kindergarten for a year, privately homeschooled students from Kindergarten to 6th grade, and have tutored and mentored students of all ages in many different subjects. I specialized in English as a Second Language in college and have tutored both adults and children in ESL.

I have been tutoring or teaching students 3 years old to adults in many different subjects and circumstances for 29 years. What I want most is to see that light bulb go on and a student to feel successful and proud of themselves. This is all about your success, so we can give it a try and If you don't feel like we connect, I am all for finding someone you do connect with, because understanding each other is really important. So please contact me and we'll figure out a good time to meet and go from there! I look forward to hearing from you!

Math tutoring

Janna is doing a great job helping my sixth grader understand his Math assignments. She is very good with explaining math concepts. She is also helping my fourth grader with Math. My kids are gaining understanding concepts.

Carla, 3 lessons with Janna

excellent start

Held the first session with Ms. Janna and things went very well. Quick to build rapport and identify the areas where she can help.

Patient, funny, friendly and efficient tutor

I asked Janna to help me feel more comfortable in English before a two-day seminar in Orlando. She tailored the course to my level and wishes, and we talked a lot. The course went very fast with her, I didn't see the time pass. I reached my goal: I was able to spend 2 days with my American colleagues with a lot of pleasure and a feeling of comfort. I understood everything and exchanged a lot with them. A huge thank you to you Janna! You helped me a lot. I will never forget it!

Goals and future plans

Janna and I was talking about future plans, and former mentors in my career path. She identified better ways to explain some negative structures. I committed with continuous practicing, listening and repeating the correct pronunciation.

First Lesson, First Experience

Janna and I met today, we got to know each other, we were talking about my goals, personal and professional, taking the classes, and she told me about the methodology to help me to improve my level of conversational English. She's an excellent listener, she corrected me when I needed it. She assigned me homework and suggested strategies for me to practice it. She seems like an excellent teacher. I am sure that I'll achieve my goals with her help.
