This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
I use my background as a teacher to push your student to make significant growth during our tutoring sessions. I have a deep knowledge of Common Core standards, and plan targeted lessons to address gaps in your students' learning to ensure that they are approaching grade level or beyond. I am also aware of the shortcomings of Common Core standards, and work to put back some of the imagination, inquiry, and exploration that so many of us remember. I'm a certified teacher currently living in New Jersey, but I've also worked in public schools in Maryland and New York. I am a passionate lifelong learner and became a teacher because I love encouraging curiosity in young people. I am certified in Elementary Education 1-6 in New York and Maryland, Middle School Science in Maryland, and my teaching license in New Jersey is currently pending. My Master's degree is in Education and is from University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and my Bachelor's is in Sociology and is from Towson University.

Jen is an absolutely EXTRAORDINARY teacher. We feel like the luckiest people in the world to have worked with her this year. Our son has thrived in the most difficult of years, and is not just on track but ahead of the curve as next year approaches. Jen arrived early every single day and stayed until the last minute at the end of the day. She taught, mentored, nurtured, and truly cared about our son. Her expertise were apparent in every subject presented, and she was always prepared. She challenged our son constantly to be his best self, and was firm while being simultaneously kind. She is confident, prepared, and honest. Jen impressed us from the moment we met her and has NEVER let us down. You will not find anyone better suited to teach your child.
