Bio

Dear Potential Student,

I'm so excited you found me! As I see it, there is nothing more exciting than sharing knowledge with others and helping build relevant connections between various subjects. The job of a teacher is not to be taken lightly. It is a humbling, awe-inspiring experience to work in the one profession that creates all other professions.

Dear Potential Student,

I'm so excited you found me! As I see it, there is nothing more exciting than sharing knowledge with others and helping build relevant connections between various subjects. The job of a teacher is not to be taken lightly. It is a humbling, awe-inspiring experience to work in the one profession that creates all other professions.

When I work with someone, I like to begin by reviewing the big ideas behind what I'm about to teach, so that overarching concepts are understood. This way, elaborating on specific concepts and ideas becomes easy and even logical, once the student is oriented to the entirety of a topic. Initially breaking topics down into larger ideas simplifies the learning process, and simultaneously helps to clarify the teaching process. As Albert Einstein best said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." Many things in life (technology, for instance) are already so complex that they require simplicity in order to propel the learner forward.

I have been running my own consulting and tutoring business since 2008. Aside from education, I specialize in both art and technology: videography, photography, computers, software, and web design. I have a MFA in Visual Art, and my BA is Visual Studies with a focus in Education. Helping others learn is my passion.

Diverse educational, biographic, geographic, ethnic backgrounds provide for a fertile learning experience. I place an emphasis on the process of mentoring so that each student will be able to explore his/her own interests and abilities. I am not satisfied unless I'm not only helping students to develop technical skills, but certain aptitudes -- such as discipline, autonomy, inventiveness, self-reliance, and self-efficacy.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have! Please contact me today so we can begin working on solutions together.

Warmly,
Jennifer

Approved Subjects

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop

I have received extensive training in Adobe Photoshop. I also use Photoshop constantly, in my design business. I enjoy acclimating folks who are new to Photoshop, or helping students develop their pre-existing knowledge. Photoshop can be overwhelming, and it's my job to help make learning Adobe Photoshop a relaxing, fun experience.
Art Theory

Art Theory

Having passed the Phoenix Art Museum Docent Training program, I am certified in Art Theory and also have a strong background in Modern Art History. I also have a MFA in Visual Arts, and my BA is in Visual Studies. Tutoring students about art is one of my favorite things to do!
General Computer

General Computer

I have been running a computer repair and education business since 2008, and enjoy repairing and troubleshooting PCs. From software tutoring to hardware instruction, I can handle all of your questions! I enjoy adapting each computer lesson to the individual's particular needs.
HTML

HTML

I have been running a web design and development business since 2008. While I usually use more complex languages than HTML, there will always be a place for HyperText Markup Language! I code HTML by hand, but am happy to help you adapt to whatever program you'd prefer to use.
Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook

I currently tutor folks in Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley in Microsoft Outlook (and Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail). Being comfortable navigating around your email program is crucial for success today!
Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint

I am fluent in all versions of Microsoft PowerPoint and have been helping others master the program for over a decade. There are many features that many people don't know about when creating a slideshow; I especially enjoy helping to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of presentations.
Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows

I have been running a computer repair and education business since 2008, and enjoy working with all versions of Microsoft Windows. Whether you're struggling to catch up to Windows 8, trying to learn all about Windows 7, or wanting to build on your Windows XP skills, I can handle all of your questions! I enjoy adapting each computer lesson to the individual's particular needs.
Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word

I am fluent in all versions of Microsoft Word and work with a range of folks, from students to authors to businesses. Understanding how to properly set-up a word document (margins, font, spacing) is crucial for everyday computing. If you're looking to learn how to create specific types of documents (address labels, lists, tables, letters, manuscripts, etc), I look forward to helping you!
Photography

Photography

I have a MFA in Visual Arts, and my BA is in Visual Studies. I have taught a Digital Photography college course for 7 years. I am an active photographer and enjoy tutoring others on camera techniques, as well as helping them understand how to edit their digital photos on a computer.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I excel at proofreading all types of documents, and can also work with you to boost your own skills. I tailor my curriculum and style to each individual, so lessons are customized to work best for you. I am also happy to help with any grammar questions you may have.
Web Design

Web Design

I have been running a web design and development business since 2008. I enjoy creating unique templates and coding web sites by hand. I have worked with individuals, as well as large companies. I look forward to working with you!
Writing

Writing

I was accepted to The Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts, where I specialized in Creative Writing and graduated from their program. For me, writing has always been a strong interest and a natural strength. When I work with a student to boost their writing skills, I focus on their process by exploring writing schemes they've developed over the course of their education. I try to discern if the gaps in their writing skills reflect concepts that need to be taught differently than they first experienced, or if they've simply learned to dislike writing. I enjoy teaching to different learning styles, and particularly enjoy working with authors. If you are stuck or have writer's block, I have quite a few tools that can help propel you onto the next page.

Reviews

Extremely knowledgeable in many areas.

I’m very new to photography, so Jennifer walked me through various options that would be parallel to my interests. Also, she sprinkled in a few ideas that I would never have considered. She is cross functional in many digital areas which enabled me to think about integrating new marketing ideas where I am employed. An extremely informative hour!

Highly skilled and patient tutor.

Jennifer helped me with a formatting project on Microsoft Word. She is a highly skilled professional, attentive, responsive and she has the skill of patience, without which none of the other skills would matter for someone nearly 81 years old. I hope to engage her for long-term benefit!

Knowledge and motivation

Jennifer is able to hone in on the aspects of where my son needs extra attention and is able to provide specific direction to help him work through such areas. He feels the sessions are extremely beneficial and is giving him the tools to gain confidence and success on the Verbal SAT.

Very patient!

I enjoyed my lessons very much. I felt very comfortable with the lesson pacing and came away with a good bit of understanding of photoshop. Jennifer is quite knowledgeable! I will be using her again for my instruction needs.
