Much of my work with these students begins with the basic vocabulary and builds from there, layering the lessons.

Jessica has been helping my college-age daughter with some organizational and study skills. She's clearly experienced with ADD issues and has keen insight to areas of weakness. She is on time, knows where to focus her attention, provides regular feedback and is a calm, consistent presence. It is an added bonus that she is able to provide college-level tutoring in certain subjects.
