About Jessica


Bio

Hi, I'm Jessica. I taught high school math and statistics for 11 years before obtaining my Master's degree in Statistics at Texas A&M and starting a new career as a data analyst. I also have a Master's degree in teaching with an emphasis in math from Westminster College and a Bachelor's degree in microbiology from BYU.

Hi, I'm Jessica. I taught high school math and statistics for 11 years before obtaining my Master's degree in Statistics at Texas A&M and starting a new career as a data analyst. I also have a Master's degree in teaching with an emphasis in math from Westminster College and a Bachelor's degree in microbiology from BYU.

Over the course of my career, I've taught AP Statistics, Math 1050 (College Algebra), Math 1060 (Trigonometry), Precalculus, Algebra II, Geometry, and Secondary Math 2. My favorite part of teaching is working with students one-on-one. There is no one right way to do math, and if I can understand a student's thought process, I can find a way to explain the material in a way that is understandable. I believe that all students can learn math and that math should be enjoyable. I love seeing students experience success!

I can provide background notes and lessons or walk you through notes and assignments proved by your own instructor. I do not believe in doing work for you, but will instead act as a guide, helping you develop the skills and confidence to solve the problems yourself.

My AP Statistics students had over a 90% pass rate on the AP test every year.

Jessica is absolutely awesome!

Jessica has been a life saver! She is incredibly knowledgeable, punctual, patient and has the unique ability to teach. There are many people that have the knowledge of different subjects, but not too many have the talent to teach.. She is a gem and would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Statistics! I am very grateful to have met her! Thank you! Daniela

Wonderful tutor!

Jessica is patient and an excellent communicator. As a senior citizen returning to school I hadn’t taken a statistics course in decades. Jessica made it all make sense and explained it far better than the learning platform my course used. I highly recommend Jessica as a tutor!

Tom , 13 lessons with Jessica

Excellent tutot

My daughter liked that Jessica worked with her to figure out how to do the problems instead of just giving explanations or just giving her answers. Perfect balance.

Stats Tutor

It went great! I will be coming back to her for more help. She explained things in a way that I could understand them. She also showed me how to use my calculator and how to do it by hand. I feel ready for my test.
