I am a graduate of Princeton University with a Bachelor's degree in English -- a qualification that required not only a senior thesis, but rigorous comprehensive exams, covering the whole of English-language and critical literary history. I have extensive experience tutoring students in general literature for academic courses, as well as the SAT-II in Literature and the English AP exam.

French
I am a near-native speaker of French and a graduate of Princeton University. After graduating from college, I moved to southern France, where I was a Resident Director for Abbey Road Overseas Programs -- a US-based language immersion program. Later, after completing graduate school in the UK, I served as Director of the London office for the Edge in College Preparation -- an elite, US-based educational consulting company. While with the Edge, I tutored high school students in French for purposes of academic coursework, the SAT-II, and the AP exams.

I want to thank Jenny for all her hard work and patience with my student these last few months. It was a real pleasure working with Jenny and I know she helped my student put more thought into how she studies. I look forward to working with Jenny next year if possible.

Jennifer has been the most helpful and efficient tutor. We worked on college essays together. She took the time to get to know me in order to help me compile thoughtful and unique essays. She was a very fast editor. Anything I sent her was returned with all of her edits and thoughts within 24 hours. Even though she primarily helped me edit my college essays, I actually learned a lot about writing in the process, which has helped me significantly in my college courses. Jenny is an amazing person to work with and I couldn't recommend her more!
