Knowledgeable, punctual, focused

Jessica is very thorough and asks open ended questions to ascertain what level the student is currently working from. She is clearly well versed in the computer science principles material and assists the student in seeing how various key points might be presented on the AP exam. She encourages the student to work with her through the problem instead of just supplying information right away. She has hit the ground running right from the start of the first lesson.
