Short Bio:
Jess is a Princeton University graduate with a specialty in standardized testing, college prep, humanities, and homework help. She has been tutoring the SATs and ACTs, as well as academic subjects, for 5 years, and she is passionate about helping students find their confidence and easing anxiety around academics, college preparation, and testing. Keeping it simple is her primary method, and she’s helped dozens of students increase their scores on tests by at least 100 points, some 300+, through clear and simple reminder methods and general inspiration. Jess is also a songwriter and marketing professional in NYC, she loves working with families and students of all personalities, and she aims to quickly put everyone at ease by making the learning process fun, friendly, and manageable. She’s available for questions, advice, and concerns via phone and email anytime, to all her families, and she believes in open and comfortable teacher – student relationships so students feel they can rely on someone to help them through blocks. Tutoring became a passion first and foremost when she discovered that supporting students in taking better control over their work, scores, and overall attitude towards academics had farther reaching benefits: students performed better but also become healthier and more confident young adults, and that’s the real reward.
