Hello,

My name is Jennie and I am a veteran teacher in Montgomery Country, PA. I currently teach United States History, and in the past I have taught World Literature, United States Government, and World History. I graduated from Kutztown University in 2010 and I have been teaching for 8 years in a variety of settings. I am highly qualified to teach English for students in grades 7-12, Social Studies for students in grades 7-12, and Special Education for grades K-12. I also received my Masters Degree in Special Education from Drexel University in June 2016. I have passed reading, writing, and math Praxis tests for grades K-12, and I am confident teaching and tutoring all grades for English and Social Studies, and up to Algebra I and Biology for Math and Science. I currently live in Norristown, PA, and I am looking for tutoring opportunities after school or on the weekend.

I pride myself on being an innovative teacher, and I will create lessons that will be both engaging and helpful for your student to continue their studies, or to work on specific areas of need.

In between formal, scheduled tutoring, I offer my students free email support. If you email me questions, I promise to return your email by 3:00 the next day, at the latest!

I look forward to hearing from you and working with your student to strengthen their abilities in the subject that we will work on together!

Excellent

Jennie came out to the house today for our first tutoring session with my son. She reviewed my son's IEP and gave her suggestions on how to improve his reading skills. Jennie came prepared with reading materials. My son loved her. He said she was very patient and encouraging. We have scheduled her to come out to the house twice a week. Thank you Jennie for giving us hope!

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

You know things are going well when your 15-year old son, who does not like to read, has been doing so for an hour and doesn't even realize it! Jennie did an excellent job working with my son on reading comprehension. Looking forward to watching his progression!

A Great Teacher

Jeannie provided a great 1st tutoring session for my son. Her knowledge and skill set seem to be exactly what my son needs. Jeannie and my son immediately started working on an upcoming writing assignment which she provided great instruction and guidance. I am impressed with her ability to transfer her knowledge in a manner that my son easily understood. Of equal importance, Jeannie is very friendly and my son felt comfortable with her right away. He has already scheduled his next session!
