Introduction: As a doctor of therapy I know what it takes to succeed in school. I have a decade's worth of experience working with students in a variety of settings that have given me insight into different teaching methods. Most recently, I worked as a homeschool teacher for elementary aged children making lessons fun, engaging, and satisfying for the children I worked with. With experience I have learned how best to reach students at their level of understanding to break down topics in ways that are easy for them to understand. In my current degree I have studied the neuroscience of learning and use this knowledge to make our time together as effective as possible. I am an energetic, understanding, and effective tutor and will be with you every step of the way to reach your goals! My speciality is working with students with complex learning needs. My doctorate in occupational therapy has informed my tutoring practice in understanding how to best accommodate disabilities for academic success. In recent years I have supported students with anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and depression reach their learning goals. Past experience: -homeschool teacher -teacher's assistant -tutor -after school program mentor -nanny I have always been in love with education and the opportunities it offers. It is so rewarding working with students watching them grow and expand their ways of thinking. Being a teacher is ingrained into who I am and I absolutely love giving people the skills they need to thrive!

Jen is absolutely amazing! She worked with my 8th grader who'd fallen behind in math and struggled with some of the new concepts. At the end of Christmas break his grade was a D after 2 failed tests. After working with jen for just two sessions he had raised his test scores to a high C. After 2 months of working with jen one hour a week, my son now has a solid A in math! She's amazing. It's totally boosted his confidence so much. She also worked with my twin daughters who are in 4th grade and have been struggelung in reading and math for the past 2 years. After working for 3 months with Jen they are at grade level in both subjects. She's great at explaining the subjects in a kind way that is very encouraging and empowers kids to learn and WANT to learn. LOVE HER!

Jen was our nanny for our homeschooling family with 3 kids. She was exceptional. Exceptionally patient, creative, talented, responsible, reliable, kind, smart and consistent. She not only tutored our kids but even created and managed curriculum. She's the kind of person you want your children to learn from and emulate. We only have rave reviews for this outstanding tutor!
