Introduction
I specialize in making concepts clear and meaningful by adapting my tutoring to each student's individual learning style. I use many hands-on materials and provide concise notes pages to give the learner the tools to be able remember and apply the material we have worked on. I tailor the tutoring to each learner's experiences. A first-grader learning to read, a middle-school student struggling with algebra, a high-schooler preparing for SAT's, and an adult learner heading back to college have very different needs. What makes me unique is that I meet each and every student at HIS / HER own level. I have been incorporated as Seeds of Knowledge Tutoring, LLC since 2009, and have worked with over 500 clients, ranging from preschool through adult. I tutor in my home, in Palm Harbor (off Tampa Rd., near Belcher). I have converted the front part of my home into a tutoring studio, where I provide a quiet, distraction-free, positive learning environment with many hands-on materials and other resources. I see clients six days/week (Sun-Fri), and have appointments available from 9am to 9pm. I offer sessions that are 1, 1.5, or 2 hours in length. The cost of sessions are $40-$55/hour, depending on the length of the session and the type of payment plan you choose. [Ask of a rate card, or view it on my website.] I am a state and Montessori certified teacher, with over 30 years of experience teaching and tutoring students. I have taught all ages - formally and informally - as a classroom teacher, a curriculum coordinator, a teacher-educator, a home-school educator, and even as an instructor at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo! What I have learned, through all of my teaching experiences, is that one of the most important factors in student success is the relationship between the teacher and the learner. I never forget that the learner -- as a person -- is more important than any skill or fact that they are learning! Because I know how important it is that students (and parents) feel comfortable with a tutor. I would be happy to meet with you, with no pressure or obligation, to make sure that you feel that it would be a good match, and to develop a customized tutoring plan with you before you pay a single penny. I can also send you a list of references and links to recent background checks.

Jen has been helping me with tutoring for the GMAT. She's one of the best tutors I've ever had! She broke down the test for me and I'm seriously seeing major improvements when I study and in my test taking abilities. She sincerely cares about the wellbeing of her students and only wants the best and for us to succeed. She's helped me with my confidence, verbal/math skills, and over all knowledge of things I don't think I will need but turns out, I do! She seriously knows what she's doing here people! If anyone ever needs a recommendation for a tutor, I would send them to Jen in a heartbeat!

I worked with Jennifer preparing for the GMAT. I decided to go back to Graduate school after being out of school for 6 years. I found it challenging to relearn the math concepts required for the test. Before I decided to hire a tutor, I attempted to learn by just buying the prep books with questions. On some of the questions, I found that the book explanation was not clear enough or it assumed I knew all of the basic math concepts that I forgot with time. It makes a big difference having a private tutor help you navigate through the GMAT. Jennifer was very patient and she took the time to walk me through all different scenarios. The biggest selling point was her ability to provide me with detailed explanations of some of the most complex GMAT problems. I highly recommend Jennifer to help you prepare for the GMAT.

Details: Quantitative • Verbal • Not yet scheduled • As recommended by professional • 60 minutes • Willing to work around teacher's schedule • Conducting initial research • I travel to the GMAT tutor • The GMAT tutor travels to me

Mrs. Young is an extremely proper woman who has a great passion in educating and helping. When working with her she provided me with an extreme amount of knowledge on the material I needed help with (I was able to tell that she has been tutoring for a long time) and encouraged me to ask questions on the stuff that troubled me. She taught me helpful strategies to use with certain problems, and this had really helped on test day. Overall, she is an outstanding tutor that will do her best to lead you to success.

Details: 12th grade • SAT1 • Math • Reading • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet) • At the pro’s location

Right off the bat, I knew that I was being tutored by an individual who was very knowledgeable, understanding, organized, and patient. I was happy to have found Jennifer to help with the math section of the General Knowledge Test for Elementary Education. I have previously had other tutors that did not have the knowledge of how the test worked. Jennifer helped me learn concepts in Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, Probability, Percentages, and much more! At the end of the tutoring, I felt I was more prepared to take my test than ever before. She helped me raise my scoring by 40 points! I recommend Jennifer highly and I am truly thankful for everything Jennifer taught me throughout the weeks.

Jennifer is a great SAT tutor! The first thing she did was to give my daughter a diagnostic test to pinpoint exactly what her strengths and weaknesses were. Based on the diagnostic test and Jennifer’s recommendation, we signed up for 15 tutoring sessions, two hours each. The sessions always focused on the skills that my daughter had the most trouble with. She gave a good amount of homework between sessions, and always reviewed any problems that my daughter needed more help with. Jennifer was able to cover an impressive amount of content in the sessions, and my daughter felt that Jennifer well extremely well organized and prepared. My daughter’s SAT scores increased significantly because of Jennifer! We were thrilled!

Details: 11th grade • SAT1 • Math • Reading • Writing • Not yet scheduled • Evening (after 6pm) • Late afternoon (3pm - 6pm) • Morning (9am - noon) • $41 - $70 per hour • As soon as possible • Ready to hire the right teacher now • I travel to the SAT tutor
