Are you looking to help your child improve his/her grades, study skills, and organization? I am a parent and certified teacher with 30 years of experience, and I have been privately tutoring for the past 21 years.

I have worked with children in grades 2-12, helping them improve their classroom performance and connect with the learning process. I am versed in all elementary and middle school subject areas, especially math. I also tutor students in pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and high school level reading and writing. I am available evenings and weekends on either a set or flexible schedule. In addition, I have extensive experience helping students prepare for high school and middle school entrance exams along with the MCAS, SAT and ACT.

I hold dual certification in Elementary 1-6 and Middle School Mathematics/Science grades 5-8.

I looking forward to hearing from you!

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

A large portion of my tutoring experience has been working with students taking Algebra I. I truly love helping students transition to this more challenging type of math. I place a great deal of emphasis on how skills build upon each other as well as the steps of problem solving. My primary goals are to build not only skill, but confidence as well.
COOP/HSPT

COOP/HSPT

I have been working with students to prepare for the HSPT for over 17 years. I begin with a general review of the test as a whole, then target specific sections and types of questions (i.e. the four types of questions found in the verbal section). The math portion of the exam is often the most daunting, so I review targeted topics (i.e. fractions, decimals, percent), then show students how those topics are presented on the test. For many of my students, this is their first experience taking a timed exam of this length. As a result, I place a strong emphasis on timing and have students complete short sets of questions within a certain time frame. This allows my students to gauge their own pace and know when to skip a particular question.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I am a Massachusetts certified teacher in grades 1-6. I have 20 years of teaching experience and have worked as a tutor for the past 17 years. I have kept my certification current through extensive coursework and attendance at workshops and conferences. I am able to work with students across all subject areas and am especially skilled in math, science and writing.
English

English

I have worked extensively on writing and literary analysis with middle and high school students, including composing college admissions essays.
ISEE

ISEE

For more than ten years, I have worked to prepare students for both the middle and upper-level ISEE. My students consistently score well and gain acceptance to various parochial and private schools in our area.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

A strong foundation in math is essential. Practice with both computation and problem solving makes students confident and successful. So often, I encounter students who know how to "follow the steps" but lack the understanding of why a problem is solved in a particular way or what the answer actually means. The use of the Common Core standards asks students to see the meaning behind the math--I can help give them that understanding.
PSAT

PSAT

I have tutored students preparing for the SAT/PSAT for more than 10 years. I have worked extensively to become fluent in my understanding of the updated versions of these tests that began last spring. My previous students have improved their overall scores by 100-300 points.
Reading

Reading

As both a tutor and classroom teacher, I have worked extensively with students who need to improve and practice their reading comprehension skills. I employ a number of strategies based on a student's specific learning style and strengths. As a passionate reader myself, I love discussing books and enjoy seeing a student's confidence in and enjoyment of reading grow!
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have been tutoring students in preparation for the SAT exam for the past 11 years. All of my students have raised their overall score by 100-250 points. I am familiar with all parts of the new online version of the SAT and can offer strategies and review for each.

Social Studies

Social Studies

I have worked as a classroom teacher at the elementary level, and as a gifted education teacher at the middle school level. In both positions, I was responsible for planning and implementing social studies lessons and units for students of all abilities. As a tutor, I have worked on history/social studies with students in grades 4-12.
SSAT

SSAT

I have worked with students to prepare for the SSAT for the past 10+ years. My students go on to perform well on the test and are accepted to a wide range of private and parochial secondary schools in the area, including Thayer Academy, Boston College High School, Notre Dame Academy and Milton Academy.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I have worked as a private tutor for 15 years and have assisted many students with their study skills. I use graphic organizers, various note taking methods and an understanding of learning styles. I recently attended a workshop on executive function which provided me with additional strategies.

First session and already thrilled!

Jennifer met with my son for the first time last week. She was wonderful and he really enjoyed the session. He already feels much better about the SSAT process and is looking forward to working with her weekly until he is ready for the test! She is very knowledgeable and a great resource!

Excellent tutor experience

Jennifer worked with my child on preparing for the HSPT. By the end of the first session, my child had a much better understanding of the test and was feeling less stressed about it.

Best Tutor Ever

Jen teaches math but is by far the best tutor my daughter has ever had in any subject. She is super clear, never rushes the concepts and is high energy / fun. My daughter always feel energized about math after she leaves.

Great Tutor!

Jen is great! My son loves her. She is so caring and effective. She could charge more - she is worth it! Hope she is not reading this!! And she is so nice - really cares about the success of her students.

Christine, 12 lessons with Jennifer

Excellent...keeps my son engaged throughout the entire lesson

My son has had two lessons so far with Jennifer and he really enjoys them. He's preparing to take the SSAT and Jennifer has mapped out a plan for his studies. She's assisting with all components of the test.

Very positive!!

Jennifer exceeded our expectations! She came to the house ready and sat right down to work. She had some excellent suggestions about taking the PSATs but most importantly: she was very positive in her comments and helped instill some confidence in preparation for taking the test. That part cannot be underestimated.

Julie , 3 lessons with Jennifer

Personable, knowledgeable and flexible.

Jennifer was excellent! She gave my son very helpful tips to help him with his SAT's. We plan on continuing with her over the summer so he can take it again in the fall.
