Jailene: St. Charles tutor

Certified Tutor

As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Human Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University, I have over four years of experience mentoring and tutoring students from elementary to high school, particularly in ACT/SAT prep and college admissions preparation. My approach is student-centered, focusing on adapting my teaching methods to meet individual learning needs, whether through interactive tools, relatable materials, or online resources. I am particularly passionate about guiding students through the college application process, especially in crafting compelling personal statements. I believe that every student's unique story deserves to be told creatively and authentically, which is why I encourage brainstorming sessions to help them identify impactful topics. My commitment to fostering academic success is reinforced by my experience with organizations like Matriculate, where I helped first-generation students successfully navigate their college journeys.

Hobbies

I can often be found with my nose in a book, exploring art museums and local coffee shops, enjoying live music at concerts, and spending time with my friends and two younger sisters! I enjoy learning foreign languages, and am currently learning my fifth language. As such, I enjoy watching foreign dramas to expand my language skills further, particularly enjoying Korean and Chinese rom-coms. Additionally, I enjoy long-distance running, nature hiking, and casual painting.
