Greetings! My name is Jessica, and I am a Wyzant tutor. I have a Master’s degree from Purdue University. I received a BA in Psychology from Texas A&M University, minoring in both English & Sociology.

I have 25 years of experience in Education. I began tutoring in my university’s writing lab in 1999. I am a reading specialist and an Autism specialist. Most importantly, I have a knack for instilling a genuine love of learning.

From my career in Educational & Motivational Psychology, my skills are an asset for my work in Education. Learning really can be an adventure! I take elementary students on adventures to the Fry Galaxy to learn sight words. Join my Super Phonics Hero Team! Learning about fictional characters and plot development as we create a comic book is just too cool, my students tell me.

I teach by the standards of education. I conduct thorough assessments and create individualized educational plans for each of my students. I give my students as much support as they need, and provide materials for additional practice outside of sessions.

I teach English, Math, Social Studies, and Science. I also have experience with test prep, such as the ASVAB, SAT, ACT, PSAT, ISEE, SSAT, HSPT, IOWA, and STAAR. Many of my students are college students who want to improve their writing skills or further develop their study skills.

"Life is an adventure! With an education as your compass, where will you go next? --Get Inspired!"

Excellent ISEE English Tutor

Jessica is very patient and helpful. She looks for and finds problems areas, takes them and provides insight on how to approach and solve them effectively. At request, she even provided short homework tasks to practice concepts on days she isn't tutoring.
