Jessica: Montgomery tutor

Certified Tutor

I've always had a passion for helping others. Seeing growth and watching someone develop an understanding of something they once found impossible is truly rewarding. It's incredibly fulfilling to be part of their learning process and to witness that moment when everything clicks.

I have experience as an in-person tutor, ranging from grade school through college. Currently, I tutor two siblings, ages 9 and 10, while working as their nanny. My experience spans a variety of settings, which has taught me how to tailor my approach to fit each student's individual learning style.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Alabama in 2009. I spent three years conducting independent research and wrote a book on early 19th-century gravestone carvers, which is still used as a teaching aid in the Anthropology in Cemeteries course at the university. My research was also published in Alabama Heritage Magazine.

I tutor in English, writing, math, science, and anthropology. I feel comfortable assisting in a wide range of subjects to help meet my students' needs. Writing is my favorite subject to tutor because it's a personal passion of mine. I love the creative process and the power that writing has to inspire and communicate ideas. If I can help someone else get excited about writing, that makes the world go round.

I take a fun, laid-back approach to teaching. Understanding new concepts can be challenging and frustrating, so I believe in making the learning process as easy and enjoyable as possible. This helps students feel more relaxed and engaged, which ultimately leads to better learning outcomes.
