Approved Subjects

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have a great understanding of algebra and pre-algebra and I was a student who math did not come easy for. I can relate to students who struggle with overall comprehension of math because I struggled too. When I got into high school, I had an amazing teacher that showed me that not only was I capable of doing the math, but that I also enjoyed it.

I majored in biology in undergrad at Tennessee Tech University with a 3.4 GPA in the subject matter, and a 3.2 GPA overall. I am able to help in the broader understanding of this subject.

Highly recommend.

Jill is a really good tutor. She is very punctual and always calls ahead of time to let me know that she is on her way. If there will be any schedule changes she always calls and makes sure that I know in time to make changes. My daughter is difficult at times and is hard to keep on task but Jill seems to know just how to get her into the sessions. She keeps me informed on how the sessions have gone and I feel that she has helped my daughter in her reading. I highly recommend Jill with your tutoring needs.

Thank you so much, Renee. I greatly appreciate the review! Emily is such a smart and challenging student and I appreciate her keeping me on my toes! I truly enjoyed working with her.

Very Helpful

8th Grade Algebra - linear equations and slopes. Gracie was having trouble understanding the concepts and Jillian helped her grasp the material. Very warm and relates well with younger children - highly recommend her.

Very patient

There is a great deal of learning / information that I'm trying to pack in very quickly and she has been more than willing to open up her schedule for me and help me stay focused.

Patient! Great personality

Very knowledgeable. Today was our first session. My daughter loved her and feels that she will definitely help her to gain confidence and succeed!

Very Helpful

Ms. K has been tutoring my 8th grader over the summer in English grammar, writing skills, and reading comprehension. So far, we like the approach Ms. K has with pinpointing out my daughter's weaknesses and focusing on those areas. She comes prepared to the sessions with specific assignments for my daughter and afterwards she sends an email with a summary of what was discussed in the session. Already I have seen some improvements in her writing skills and we are anxious to see how she does in school now that they have started back. My daughter also enjoys working with her. Ms. K is very patient and knows how to communicate with her.
