About Me

I graduated from Westfield State University with a BA in English in 2014. I am a tutor because I love to see people grow their abilities to write and communicate in English subjects. I believe being able to write effectively and clearly is essential in our society. I have worked for years as a swim instructor and saw many students going out of their comfort zones and improving their skills, and love to see the same motivations in English students. I have worked in many workshop and one-on-one essay editing settings at my university and this is my specialty. I can't wait to work with any student and help them achieve their full potential!

Q&A with Jessica

I believe that students have the capacity to learn anything, and follow a growth-mindset. A growth-mindset means that intelligence is not fixed, and anyone can learn. When things become difficult and challenges arise in learning, this is an opportunity for students to grow their minds and increase their abilities. It's not a sign that that subject "isn't for them." How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in? I try to make subjects as close to home for the student as I can. I will explain different reasons a subject could be meaningful to them, and try to show them ways it can apply to different aspects of their lives. I will also bring different materials to try to find ones that the students really connect to and enjoy.
