I offer tutoring on a wide range of subjects, but the following are some of my specialties/most frequent:

-College Essay Writing: I have been a college essay coach for the scholarship organization QuestBridge for 4 years now, and I can offer grammar and mechanics help, as well as editing for content.
-Biology: I tutor biology at a wide range of levels, including GED, SAT Subject tests, AP tests, AP Biology, and college biology. At the college level, I tutor Evolutionary Biology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Anatomy, and Ecology most often. My first degree and my PhD are in Neuroscience, so I can offer specialized help in this area.
-GED preparation. I have tutored many GED students in all of the subjects covered on the exam. I can also help with general test taking strategies and formation of a study plan.

Though these are the areas in which I most frequently tutor, I have also worked on a wide range of other subjects, from history, elementary level writing, political science, statistics, and study skills. I pride myself on being flexible and doing my best to accommodate my student's needs, I have a negotiable schedule and am more than happy to tutor a student on multiple subjects. I'm also happy to work with all grade levels as well as adult learners.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

I have taken the AP biology exam as well as the SAT subject test in biology. I have a Bachelor's degree in a biological science (neuroscience), and have experience in general biology, evolutionary biology, cell biology, molecular biology and anatomy/physiology as well. I have worked in a molecular biology lab for 3 years, and have tutored biology at almost all grade levels.
Genetics

Genetics

The first time I took Genetics was as an advanced high school course. Since then, I have taken a genetics unit in general biology at Emory University as an undergraduate student, and completed a graduate level Genetics class at Iowa State University. I have tutored high school and college level genetics for the last 3 years, on topics like Mendelian Genetics, sources of genetic diversity, non-Mendelian inheritance, and environmental interaction.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I've received many honors/awards for debate and forensics-style public speaking and persuasive speaking. I also have multiple years of technical speaking experience presenting scientific posters and giving academic talks. I can offer substantive speech construction help as well as performance and body language coaching.

AP biology

My HS sophomore daughter had about five tutoring lessons with Jenny I’m about a month. Jenny is knowledgeable and has helped my daughter understand through her explanations and practice questions. We will continue to have her as our tutor.

Linda, 7 lessons with Jenny

Look no further!

Jenny is amazing at her craft. She is very knowledgeable and down to earth, so the session doesn’t feel stuffy or uncomfortable. She helped me to understand concepts and feel more confident is my learning journey.

Ashley, 1 lesson with Jenny

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Jenny is a great tutor. She is not only extremely knowledgeable in anatomy but also broad insights of new trends in medical technologies. She is very patient and always comes well prepared with the agreed subject. In addition, she is very understanding and flexible. Highly recommended.

Yanto, 5 lessons with Jenny

Excellent and patient teacher!

Jenny is surely the most patient teacher who has ever taught me! She is well spoken, we’ll educated, calm and composed. She helped me with GED Math and GED Science. I passed on my first attempt in both exams, thanks to her. Although, $30 is a little costly, but I’m telling you it’s worth it! Thank you Jenny for helping me, not only during our two sessions, but also via chat, cost-free.

Just amazing! Quick response time. Patient.

Jenny is able to breakdown the rubric my school provides when I cannot wrap my head around it. She also proofreads my papers (VERY QUICKLY) which has allowed me to move more quickly through courses. I’d love to keep her in my contacts and not let anyone else know about her because I selfishly want her to myself but she definitely deserves recognition and more clientele if she desires.

Hollie, 6 lessons with Jenny

Kind, prepared, and knowledgeable tutor.

I am glad to have found Jenny as a tutor for my biology class. She was able to fit me in on the same day, she was prepared with notes on my answers to a study guide I sent her so I could improve my answers, and she had PowerPoints ready to go. She is great at explaining things, knows what she is talking about, and is very friendly and encouraging. I would highly recommend her as a high school biology tutor!

Mahika, 15 lessons with Jenny

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

My child felt that Jenny was able to explain the concepts quickly and in a clear fashion. She has an advanced degree in Neuroscience and I would recommend Jenny for AP Biology.

Anita, 2 lessons with Jenny

Wonderful tutor

Jenny is a truly wonderful tutor! She helps me with my readings. Through her help, I able to understand them. She answered every question that I have and was very understanding when I didn't know the answer. She's very accommodating and easy to follow. I highly recommend her to other acquaintances of mine who are interested in tutoring. I would love to work with her again.

Katie, 27 lessons with Jenny

Very helpful, quick turn around time and knows what she is doing

Jenny helped my son with 2 (so far) of his college application essays and her comments have been perfect, helping to cut through his writer's block and disorganization. She is super quick to reply, always polite and kind, and does great work in the fastest turn around time I've experienced. We are not done with the applications yet but I feel assured that we have a knowledgeable person to turn to if, no when, we need help again.

Jaclyn, 2 lessons with Jenny

Great tutor

Jenny is very efficient and talented at editing. She focused on my essay every single minute she was working with me. I would recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a writing tutor.
