About Jewel

Hello! My name is Jewel. I am a student at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA and I have been tutoring children for three years. When I was in school, I struggled with feeling like my brain worked "differently" from other students'. In math, I was scolded for working through problems using the method that was most intuitive to me, rather than the one that was provided by the teacher. As a tutor, I want to help students overcome their frustrations by working together to figure out the ways of learning/working that are most accessible to them. I offer tutoring in general subjects for elementary-aged kids, as well as tutoring in Algebra, English, history, and science for students in middle and high school. I am familiar with AP, Honors, and Common Core coursework. I take pride in being a life-long learner and would hope to instill a similar passion for learning in your child.
