If you identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, a woman, or an income-challenged student or family and would like to be considered for a sliding scale payment or a discount, let me know! I welcome the opportunity to broaden the diversity in this field.

After completing a Master's degree in economics, I taught both math and economics at community college and university. While teaching Algebra 1, I excelled at helping students who had always struggled with math gain confidence and begin to enjoy the class. I received some of the highest evaluations the school had ever seen. I have over 2,000 hours tutoring experience, allowing people like you to succeed in their most challenging courses.

Explains concepts clearly

Jodi explained macro economic concepts in a very understandable way. Attained an "A" on test and felt confident. Thank you Jodi!

Tina, 3 lessons with Jodi

awesome!

Jodi is great and explains problems and things in a simple easy to understand manner which is incredibly helpful.

Josephine, 24 lessons with Jodi

If she can teach me statistics, she can help anyone

Jodi was a huge help for my MBA statistics class. Was able to break down complicated ideas and speak in a way that a non-statistics major can understand. Would recommend and use again!

Chelsea , 3 lessons with Jodi

Fantastic tutor!

Jodi is fantastic and our only regret is that we did not find her sooner. Our son was struggling with preparation for a Stats final. After some sessions with Jodi, he went into the final feeling confident and prepared. This preparedness led to a high score and more importantly reinforced to our son the value of collaboration, hard work, and preparation. After a few conversations with our son, he would not hesitate to work with Jodi in the future.

Amazing Tutor

My son was failing Econ in college at midterm and ended up with a C+ thanks to Jodi. She helped him understand the terms and prepare for a chapter exam and the final. She was also very flexible and accommodating.

Great tutor ! very patient and knowledgeable

Came across this app at the recommendation of a parent. My daughter was struggling with an upcoming final on microeconomics. I had already scheduled a prior tutor (diff agency) who made things worse as his style of teaching clashed with my daughter’s style of learning and even got one problem completely wrong which lead my daughter to further doubt him. We booked an initial session with Jodi. She was very prompt in replying to my message. She was also very accommodating with her time. We then extended to additional sessions. She was extremely helpful ! The white board notes were amazing for my daughter to further review on her own after sessions. At the end of each session Jodi sent a brief description of the areas they covered for the test. She was the absolute best choice for my daughter at a time of heightened stress and anxiety to a very difficult upcoming final. I already looked up her areas of expertise for next semester to see if any of my daughter’s future classes can be supported by Jodi. Highly recommend her !!!

Jodi is a superhero

Jodi is helping me with Statistics which is totally counterintuitive to me, but with Jodi's help Statistics has been demystified to me. I'm someone who needs a lot of repetition and Jodi has been patient and gone over the same material twice with me. I think I'm even going to need to go over the same material three, four or five times, and even then I'm confident Jodi would still be more than happy to help.

Tala, 81 lessons with Jodi

knowledgeable and knows how to explain difficult concepts.

I am an adult learning, and I must say that Jodi was very patient and insisted on answering math questions in the format and style recommended by my professor. She did not rush my learning. Absolutely enjoyed working with and relearning math with Jodi. Thank you!

Knowledgeable, Patient, & Motivating

Jodi helped me overcome a seemingly challenging mental barrier to understanding basic statistics. Jodi is most definitely knowledgeable, patient, and motivating.
