Personal information
Bio
Hi, I’m Jessica, and I’m passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals! With over fifteen years of experience in elementary and middle school education, I bring a deep understanding of reading, math, social studies, and writing, and a personalized approach to learning. My background includes over ten years in the classroom, as well as a master's degree in Mind, Brain, and Education.
What I love most about tutoring is seeing the “aha” moments when concepts click for my students. I believe in creating a supportive, engaging environment where learners feel confident to ask questions and explore new ideas.
Let’s make learning a journey you can enjoy!

I have learned how to take ideas from brain research and use them to improve education for all kinds of learners.
