Hello! My name is Jordan and I help gifted and high-achieving students reach their goals. Most of my students are ivy-bound and are looking for that "extra edge" to get ahead. These students are already scoring high, so coaching focuses on test taking tactics and techniques tailored to the exam elements. Other students I work with are looking for enrichment beyond the classroom, such as lessons in logic, advanced mathematics, academic writing, public speaking, or nationally competitive...

ADD/ADHD
As a student in developmental psychology, I specialize in teaching children with learning disorders. Having ADD/ADHD myself, I can personally relate to the problems at hand and use my experience with these disorders to help me communicate ideas and organizational skills effectively. I have taught classes on study skills to underprivileged youth in West Philadelphia while I was at the University of Pennsylvania.
college counseling
I am a student myself and understand the approach from the student perspective and have gone through the process. I currently attend the University of Pennsylvania and am in the honors program. I've reviewed college essays and helped complete applications for acceptances into major universities, including Dartmouth College and Stanford University.

elementary (k-6th)
I enjoy tutoring younger students and have some experience doing so. I have tutored 4th graders at a local elementary school and worked as a teaching assistant for a 6th grade class. Learning rates change drastically during these early years and I understand the necessity for a flexible approach to foster future success.

Jordan helped my son with his SAT English over the summer. He is an excellent teacher. He knows his subject area. Although my son went to a private middle school, he got a very poor grade on the SAT English. Jordan showed him how to go about the English section. We saw a significant improvement on the practice test scores, and I am sure we will see the same when he takes the SAT again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend Jordan. He is not just smart, but a very patient, understanding and personable individual.

Jordan has been an excellent tutor. He is very attentive and has made homework/studying much easier for my daughter. I can always reach him by phone, and he returns messages promptly. I highly recommend Jordan for any subject you're seeking help in!
