About

I am a graduate of Western Washington University with a BA in English. I have been a nanny, homework coach, and tutor for the last 20 years. I love working with kids and teens to realize their potential. I have worked with kids ages 4 to 18 in reading, comprehension, grammar, language arts, elementary math, pre-algebra, HSPT, and ACT & SAT English exams.

When working with kids in reading remediation, I use the Phono-Graphix and ABeCeDarian programs together and have gotten wonderful results.

I customize each session to the individual student since no one learns the same. I have worked with kids that needed a little help and encouragement, those that needed a lot of support and those with ADHD & ADD.

For online tutoring, I conduct the sessions using Zoom.

    Jennifer tutored all three of my children in English and math - they are now grown - the youngest is 18. Jennifer is patient, caring and has excellent strategies for dealing with kids of all kinds. I have two ADD boys and one highly competitive and motivated girl. All three benefited from her calm and patient style and her willingness to go above and beyond. She really cares about the success of her students

    Frequently asked questions

    When I start to work with a new student I want to learn what they like, how they feel they learn best, and what they need to work on. Finding out if a child learns best through visual, auditory, or physical means helps me determine the best way to work with that child.

    I have a BA in English from Western Washington University. I am currently working on my certification in Phono-Graphix, but have unofficially been trained by my old mentor Chris Madden. I have been certified in IM (Interactive Metronome).

    I charge $30 per 60-minute and $45 per 90-minute for online sessions. For in-person sessions, I charge $40 for 60-minutes. A $10 surcharge is added if the travel distance is further than 7 miles.

    I first worked as a tutor and teacher's aid right out of college and loved it. I then became a nanny for a family with 3 children, 2 of whom had severe ADD/ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Besides normal nanny duties, I worked with them on homework, organization, and study skills. After being a nanny, I worked at Alternative Connections, working with homeschoolers, children that needed extra help/patience, and reading remediation and comprehension. I now work with my own clients.

    I have worked with all kinds of students, from the age of 4 to 18. I have worked with kids that need a little extra help, have reading issues, comprehension problems, and those with ADD/ADHD. I have also worked with kids in homeschooling, high anxiety, and needing prep in HSPT, ACT & SAT reading/language sections. 

    A recent event that made me smile has to do with an email I received from a parent. I have been working on math with a fourth-grader this past school year. His confidence in math was low and he had some trouble picking up on the concepts being taught in class. I received an email from his mom telling me that he is doing really well in math and even raising his hand in class! My smile was so big when I read that. I believe every child has it in them to succeed in their academics.

    I would look to see if the tutor's personality and tutoring style matches your learning style.
