Parent

“Jessica tutored my daughter over two years, playing the critical role of helping her to learn Algebra and Geometry. Jessica made sure to be in sync with my daughter’s weekly schedule and her teachers' styles and requirements. What made Jessica so special to me and to my daughter was much more than her ability to teach the material - it was her ability to establish a trusting and safe space to learn and to be patient and caring as she supported her high school education and her personal growth.”
