ADD/ADHD
As a public school educator for fifteen years, I have worked with many students who have specific learning issues. Specifically, students with Adhd and ADD have increased success with strategies that can be utilized in a tutoring situation such as teaching students to use calendars, schedules and assist students with organizational habits. Even involvement in sports can help students learn discipline!

Jennifer tutored my daughter for SAT reading and writing section. My daughter will not take SAT till fall of this year, so it's too soon to tell about score improvement, but my daughter likes her approach and feels that she is making progress, especially in the reading comprehension section. Jennifer is patient, gives a very thorough review of the session at the end of it and is super flexible with scheduling of sessions. We plan to use her again.
Michelle K. from Richboro, PA
Jennifer was an awesome tutor to have! She was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job helping my son with his English paper. I definitely will be using Jennifer again in the near future. Not only for my son but to help out with my other kids!! I definitely recommend Jennifer!
Cheryl A. from Richboro, PA
Would highly recommend this tutor. Very energetic, productive, and connects to her students well. Seems to quickly pick up on individual strengths and weaknesses.
Sherri S. from Ventnor City, NJ
Jennifer helped my daughter prepare her essays for the Common App and her other college applications. The stress was off me, and it was well worth it! Jennifer is very knowledgeable in the application process. She turned some negative perspectives my daughter had about herself into positive ones. My daughter enjoyed working with Jennifer immensely. Jennifer would continue the task at hand until it was completed for that session. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Jennifer.
Janhavi B. from Newtown, PA
Jennifer W. was extremely professional, patient, and knew EXACTLY how to assist my daughter with her SAT critical reading exam. She customized a study plan for my daughter based on her learning needs in an easy and concise manner. We are very impressed with Jennifer's way of teaching.
Esther R. from Morrisville, PA
Jennifer is an absolutely amazing tutor! I had Jennifer help me in editing my graduate school essays for multiple schools! She was very easy to get in contact with and to work with. We worked together in person and electronically. She was very helpful and truly did a fantastic job in editing my papers and gave me great feedback. I recommend her without hesitation and will continue to use her assistance in the future!

Jenn is tutoring my 12 and 14 year old daughters. From the moment she walks through our door, she is smiling and enthusiastic. She really gets to know her students one-on-one, so she can teach them in the manner which is most effective for each child. She is extremely smart and has made learning fun for my kids. I have tried other tutors and have found NO ONE that comes close to Jenn. And, because she travels to our home, she has freed me up from having to drive somewhere twice a week. She is punctual and always ready to reschedule if we have other plans. She emails and calls (even when off duty) to see how the girls are doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a tutor for their child.
Mary Alicia D. from Titusville, NJ
Jennifer brings a lot of enthusiasm and variety to her tutoring. She makes learning fun which is so apparent when Jennifer and my daughter are together.
Mary G. from Titusville, NJ
We engaged Jennifer to help get our daughter ready for an upcoming SAT and Jennifer canceled on us the morning of a session and didn't show up for 2 other sessions leading to our daughter losing momentum in preparing for the SAT. For the record, she knew her stuff the one time she showed up but we would have preferred her honesty on the lack of her ability to keep appointments.
Helaine Z. from Elkins Park, PA
Jennifer is pleasant, smart, and always an email or phone call away. Jennifer effectively evaluated my son's needs in preparation for his ACTs. She has provided the confidence in our son to be well prepared for his standardized tests. My son looks forward to the 2 hour a week study sessions and does not find it a chore. After 4 sessions he improved his scores in an ACT/SAT practice test. We will continue to use Jennifer till April 2014 in preparation for the ACTs. Since Jennifer helped our son improve his scores in both the ACT and SAT he will probably take both. I highly recommend Jennifer for tutoring. Our experience has been outstanding! Her hours are flexible and her advise during this stressful time is par none.
Connie T. from Newtown, PA
Jennifer is a great tutor for students who need a guide to understand their strengths and weaknesses and work off of them. She has energy and passion for getting her students to where they need to be for success. Jennifer relates extremely well to her students and connects with them to form a teaching/learning relationship that is invaluable. Jennifer is very professional, has great communication skills and was a joy to work with!
Kevin L. from Doylestown, PA
Jennifer is an excellent tutor. Well organized and prepared, also communicates very well with the student. My Daughter is working with Jennifer to prepare for SATs and is very happy and gaining confidence.
Grace B. from Gladwyne, PA
Jennifer W was a very helpful and patient tutor with my son. She was able to help him with his ACT questions and provide him with helpful strategies for taking the test. I would highly recommend Jennifer.
Sally E. from Abington, PA
She is awesome and very patient. She knows what she is doing and how to organize the students and put them on track. She has a great deal of information about colleges and applications.
Yetty A. from Columbus, NJ
Jennifer is an excellent tutor. She is very patient, understanding and she knows her material. I highly recommend her. My son does not care for 4th grade English writing but once she started teaching him, he has developed interest and is more patient in English writing. She makes learning fun for my son. I couldn't have asked for a better tutor.
Radhi C. from Bensalem, PA
My son improved his PSAT scores by taking 2 classes, we will be taking her support in the SAT prep too. Great Tutor and connects with the student immediately.
Ben S. from Newtown, PA
She is pushing my kids without them feeling pushed. She knows how to nurture them and they really like working with her. Amazing!
Anup D. from Warminster, PA
Jennifer really helped me out two weeks before I had to take the GRE. She taught me efficient methods that would help me identify vocabulary roots and meanings. In addition, she taught me how to look for context clues and dissect the sentences. My Verbal score increased significantly because of her tutoring!
Katherine H. from Baton Rouge, LA
Pointed out how to look at questions and choose correct answers. Scheduled sessions and met our tutoring needs quickly. Very pleased with her approach to instruction. My daughter liked her. Very nice person.
