Hi there!

Need a little help with learning BIOLOGY? New to Nutrition? Bewildered by Genetics and Molecular Biology? I'm here to help!

I offer compassionate, student centered opportunities for online learning. I am a Licensed Professional Biology Teacher with 23 years of experience teaching and tutoring at the high school and college levels. I hold a Master of Education (M.Ed. Degree), with Biology Concentration and a Biology Teaching Certification (MA High School Teaching License). Earlier background includes a Bachelor of Science with Biochemistry Concentration and a strong foundation with two Associate of Science in General Science and in Biotechnology. I have graduated with honors in my specialized fields of the biological sciences.

Currently, I am booking online sessions for the life sciences: *Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Nutrition and Ecology. I am highly skilled teaching Grades 8-12 and through graduate level college Biology.

I am sensitive to the learning differences of each individual and focus our sessions on the students’ goals and strengths, guiding them through any obstacles in the path of their learning. I determine what is important to the student and use authentic examples of science in the context of real-life applications that compliment student's goals to lead to deeper understanding. Together we can collaborate, determine your goals together and individualize your instruction to your needs.

As an educational philosophy, I believe that education and learning are essential for personal growth and success, and that learning is fun and engaging; I follow the UDL, Universal Design for Learning, model of multiple modes of academic access, engaged activity and student expression of what they learn. Teaching is an art that elegantly combines cognitive, psychological and educational elements with each student's unique learning requirements. Instruction should be individualized to match the student's needs.

Great tutor experience

I arranged for my daughter to take lessons with Jenifer for Biology Honors, complementing her personal study efforts, and Jenifer has been instrumental in deepening her understanding and nurturing her enthusiasm for the subject. She excels at breaking down complex topics into clear, logical steps, making challenging concepts more accessible. Her engaging teaching style, patience, and thorough knowledge of biology create an ideal learning environment. Thanks to Jenifer’s guidance, my daughter has navigated her coursework with confidence and ease. I highly recommend Jenifer to any student looking to excel in biology."

So knowledgeable, patient and kind

My daughter has been struggling in her 9th grade Biology Honors class. In search of a tutor, I came across Jen’s profile and so happy I did. We’ve had only 2 sessions with Jen but she is able to explain how to apply the factual knowledge to my daughter in such an easy way that it makes sense to her. After doing poorly on a test, my daughter got an A on the retest because of our first session with Ms. Jen! I feel the sessions they’ve had have slowly restored my daughter’s confidence than she can succeed. She is also so flexible with her time which I appreciate! We plan to continue tutoring sessions with her !

Amazing tutor !

I can’t say enough good things about Jenifer! From the very first lesson, it was clear that she is not only incredibly knowledgeable, organized but also exceptionally patient and kind. Her energy and enthusiasm make each session engaging and enjoyable. Jenifer is both supportive and effective, helping my son improve his skills with each lesson. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about my son's progress and success. Overall, I would give Sue an 11/10 without hesitation!

what a gem!

The best feeling in the world is when your child runs to you and says, “MOM, I get the entire cycle of photosynthesis and cellular respiration now”, and is able to retell it from A to Z. My daughter loves her lessons with Jesica and actually looks forward to them.

Knowledgeable, patient and comprehensive

Jenifer made herself available to my daughter with ease and jumped right into helping her understand a complex matter in biology. I was most impressed. We hope to continue working with Jenifer.
