Hi, I’m Ms. Jessica!

I am a certified elementary educator with 4 years of classroom teaching experience and 2 years of tutoring experience outside of the classroom. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Elementary Education from Western Kentucky University, and I also obtained my certification in Gifted Education for grades K-12. My background in both general and gifted education has given me experience working with students across a wide range of academic abilities and learning styles.

Over the years, I have worked with general education students, gifted students, students with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, visual impairments, and ESL/ESOL learners. These experiences have taught me that every student learns differently, and one of my greatest strengths as an educator is adapting instruction to fit each student’s individual needs while helping them build confidence and independence.

My primary teaching experience has been in elementary Science, Writing, and Math, but I also tutor reading, phonics, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, study skills, and test preparation for exams such as the ACT, ASVAB, and Praxis. I enjoy helping students strengthen foundational skills while also developing organization, critical thinking, and confidence in the classroom.

My tutoring style focuses on relationship building and creating a calm, supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and taking academic risks. I break difficult concepts into manageable steps, use clear explanations and real-world examples, and adjust instruction based on each student’s pace and learning style. My goal is not only to help students improve academically, but also to help them become confident, independent learners who feel capable of success.

I genuinely enjoy helping students grow and would love the opportunity to support your child’s learning journey. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your student’s individual needs!

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

I am a general education teacher with extensive experience supporting students with both diagnosed and undiagnosed ADHD in the classroom. I specialize in creating structured, supportive learning environments that help students strengthen focus, organization, and executive functioning skills. My work includes adapting instruction and collaborating with families to better understand learning needs and identify when additional evaluation may be helpful. I am passionate about meeting students where they are and helping them build confidence and independence through practical, consistent strategies.
Common Core

Common Core

I enjoy helping students build confidence in foundational math and reading skills through structured, supportive instruction aligned with Common Core expectations. As a certified teacher, I have experience teaching elementary standards that emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, reading comprehension, and evidence-based writing skills commonly found in Common Core instruction. I work with students to strengthen both their academic understanding and their confidence by breaking challenging concepts into manageable steps. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, grow their skills, and become more independent learners.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I am certified in Kentucky to teach all core subjects for grades P–6, including math, language arts, science, and social studies. My strongest experience is in science instruction, but I also have a strong background teaching reading, writing, grammar, phonics, and elementary math skills. I have taught a variety of elementary subjects and work to create structured, engaging lessons that support student learning and growth. I am comfortable teaching both foundational skills and grade-level content across all core areas.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I enjoy helping students become more confident and effective writers by breaking the writing process into clear, manageable steps. Most of my experience has been working with elementary-aged students on essay structure, organization, revision, and developing strong written responses. I also have experience supporting argumentative and science-based writing for elementary and middle school students, helping them learn how to explain ideas clearly and support their thinking with evidence. In addition to working with younger students, I have also helped peers strengthen their essay writing skills through revision, organization, and feedback.
Praxis

Praxis

Preparing for Praxis exams can feel overwhelming, so I strive to make the process more approachable, organized, and encouraging for students. I am familiar with several Praxis certification exams, including Elementary Education content exams, the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT), and the Gifted and Talented Praxis. Through my own experience with educator preparation and test study, I have become knowledgeable about effective study strategies, common exam formats, and a variety of trusted Praxis resources. I enjoy helping students build confidence, strengthen their understanding of the material, and feel more prepared walking into test day.
