"My name is Jessica, and I am a Wyzant tutor. I have a Master’s degree from Purdue University. I received a BA in Psychology from Texas A&M University, minoring in both English & Sociology.

I began tutoring in my university’s writing lab in 2000. I am a reading specialist and an Autism specialist. I have 24 years of experience in education. Most importantly, I have a knack for instilling a genuine love of learning.

From my career in Educational & Motivational Psychology, my skills are an asset for my work in education. Learning really can be an adventure! I take elementary students on adventures to the Fry Galaxy to learn sight words. Join my Super Phonics Hero Team! Learning about fictional characters and plot development as we create a comic book is just too cool, my students tell me.

I teach by the standards of education. I conduct thorough assessments and create individualized educational plans for each of my students. I give my students as much support as they need, and provide materials for additional practice outside of sessions.

I’m a homeschool teacher for English, Math, Social Studies, and Science, but I teach other subjects as well, when requested. I also have experience with test prep, such as the ASVAB, SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT, and state standards testing, among others. Many of my students are college students who want to improve their writing skills or further develop their study skills.

What would you like to learn? I have availability for new students. Send me a message with any questions you may have or to schedule an assessment. References available upon request." less...
