Bio

Hi, I'm Jenny! I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Utah Valley University and earned my Associate of Science in Mathematics with honors. My tutoring journey started in high school as a calculus teaching assistant, where classmates sought my help because I could break down complex concepts in ways that made sense. This led me to work in Utah Valley University's Math Lab, tutoring fellow college students throughout my undergraduate years.

Hi, I'm Jenny! I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Utah Valley University and earned my Associate of Science in Mathematics with honors. My tutoring journey started in high school as a calculus teaching assistant, where classmates sought my help because I could break down complex concepts in ways that made sense. This led me to work in Utah Valley University's Math Lab, tutoring fellow college students throughout my undergraduate years.
Over the past decade, I've tutored hundreds of students from age 11 through adults in one-on-one and small group settings, both in person and online. I've worked with middle school students learning foundational concepts, high school students tackling algebra through AP courses, and college students mastering calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and statistics. Whether you're struggling with fractions or mastering multivariable calculus, I can help!
My teaching approach focuses on building genuine understanding rather than memorizing formulas. I learn how each student learns best, what motivates them, and where they've gotten stuck. Then I break down concepts step by step, work through problems together, and provide independent practice so students build real confidence. I connect math to real-world applications—derivatives through roller coasters, statistics through sports, algebra through budgeting—so students see how it relates to their lives.
For online sessions, I use Zoom with an interactive whiteboard to work through problems in real time. You can share your textbook or homework on screen while we work together. My sessions are supportive, judgment-free, and tailored to you—mistakes are welcome! Students consistently report improved grades and actually enjoying math. I'm quick to respond and happy to adjust based on your feedback. New clients who leave a review after their first session receive 10 extra minutes free on their second session. Let's make math click for you!
