| Experience: | Why I'd like to be a tutor:
I love working with younger students and teaching them information in a way they may not have thought about it before. I like using innovative approaches and helping them to enjoy learning.
My strengths:
I am very strong in psychology, general chemistry, biology, French, Spanish, English, US and World History, and high school math through precalculus. I'm also very strong in standardized tests, and I would love to help students prepare for the PSATs, the SATs, the SATIIs, or AP exams.
I am extremely organized and hardworking.
I am also attentive to the student, making sure that they are engaged in what I am teaching and that they understand the concepts I'm going over.
I focus on your child's strengths and weaknesses to best teach them.
I would love to help your child succeed in school!

| I have to say Jessica is great! She is personable,intelligent, reliable, and dependable. The first meeting my daughter had with Jessica she said that she was already very helpful with her spanish. My daughter was getting better grades in spanish just after a few sessions. Jessica is a pleasure to work with and my daughter looks forward to meeting with her. Jessica always is always on time, and very nice to talk to. Also my daughter says that she is very easy to talk to and explains things in an easy way. I definitely recommend Jessica to anyone. |
