"Hi, I’m Jen!

I bring over 14 years of teaching experience across public, private, and charter schools, along with 6 years of dedicated tutoring and coaching outside the classroom. I earned my bachelor’s degree in English Education from Northwestern College in 2002 and completed my master’s in education at UT Austin in 2007.

My passion lies in helping students develop confidence and a love for reading and writing. I specialize in creating personalized plans to meet each student’s unique needs, using a variety of resources to assess reading levels, identify weaknesses, and directly address them with targeted strategies. I also believe in fostering strong communication with both students and parents to ensure progress and success.

Throughout my career, I’ve designed and delivered teacher training on STAAR Reading and Writing strategies, guided dozens of students to improve their ISEE and SSAT scores, and developed a comprehensive 15-hour SAT/PSAT course to help students navigate and succeed in the digital format.

While middle school English is my expertise, I have also designed curriculum and taught high school and college courses, giving me a broad understanding of students’ academic journeys. Whether working one-on-one or in groups, my goal is to instill both skills and a lasting love for learning in every student I teach." less...
