Hi! My name is Jenna and teaching is my passion. I I have been teaching for the last fifteen years and tutoring for six of them. One of my favorite things about teaching is watching my students understand a concept that I have taught them so well, that they can not only do the problems themselves, but also help others in their class understand the problems.

Hi! My name is Jenna and teaching is my passion. I I have been teaching for the last fifteen years and tutoring for six of them. One of my favorite things about teaching is watching my students understand a concept that I have taught them so well, that they can not only do the problems themselves, but also help others in their class understand the problems.

I love tutoring because it allows me to specialize my teaching for that one student, helping them to understand the concept and building their confidence in themselves. I love watching the look of success cross the student's face when they start to understand the concept that they have been working so hard at mastering. It is amazing to watch them gain that belief in their abilities and watch heir sense of pride within themselves blossom as their hard work pays off.

I know that finding the right connection between a teacher and student is crucial to developing a productive and happy atmosphere, and I invite you to email me if you have any questions that will allow you see if I would be a good fit for your needs. I will always respond and look forward to working with you!

Customized material for my child's special needs

Jenna is a gem. My child goes to a public school and an afterschool, each has different English reading requirements and regular exams. It was becoming overwhelming for us until we found Jenna. Every week Jenna patiently considers all our special needs, from specific word lists to specific phonics topics, so the tutoring sessions can best reinforce what my child learns in schools each week. Jenna tailors activities and games to teach/play with my child online to make learning fun. When my child occasionally acts out and doesn't feel like going to class (like any 6 yrs old would), Jenna can always bring my child's attention back to the screen with her cheerful encouragement and fun games. After a few months, we can clearly see the improvement in my child's reading skills and overall confidence. Thank you, Jenna!

Patient, makes learning fun and exciting!

Jenna is really great at helping my daughter understand the areas of math in a fun, exciting way, keeping her motivated when she makes mistakes, and celebrating when she's getting it right, and breaking down the steps to make it easy to understand. She is extremely patient, knowledgable, understanding, and has been such an incredible guide + tutor already. Thank you Jenna!!

Great first session!

Jenna was Very patient and encouraging with my 9 year old who is very hesitant with math! I look forward to seeing the growth and understanding in my child. My kid has been struggling for a while, and responded very well to the instructions and suggestions of Jenna.
