Jackson Tutoring
About
I enjoy the feeling of being a part of a student's building of his/her confidence. I enjoy talking a student through issues that seem perplexing, and explaining them in a way that sets the student up to conquer the issue.
In the last few years I've been able to work with high school students to improve their math, writing, and science skills and knowledge. I enjoy working with students and giving them a positive outlook on life and academics in general.
I have a Bachelor of Science, a Juris Doctor and have recently completed post-baccalaureate studies at the University of Richmond in preparation of applying to dental school.
I am also a published writer and have studied under Supreme Court Justice clerks.
Mathematics, algebra, science, English, and writing skills are my arenas.
I just generally enjoy helping people and working with the youth of the community. They are a breathe of fresh air. I enjoying learning from them too.
