Jenna
Experienced and Passionate Math and Oceanography Tutor
Hello prospective students! I have two bachelor's degrees, one in Applied Mathematics and one in Earth Science. I obtained my PhD in Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences from Brown University in 2020 with a focus in oceanography. I have tutored, through Wyzant and the institutions I have attended, for nearly ten years. In the summer of 2014, I was involved in a program designed to aid entering freshman transitioning to college level mathematics. I also taught a GRE prep course...

Calculus 2 was easily the most difficult math class I have ever taken. After doing poorly on my midterm I enlisted Jenna to help me understand concepts and better utilize the calculator that was allowed in my exams. Not only did she solve particular problems like you would expect from a good tutor, but she wrote out sequences and series concepts in a way that was more concise and readable than my textbook. This clarity of writing comes from a deep understanding by this tutor. Jenna was always punctual and quick to respond to questions. I highly recommend her to any student who is struggling with a math class, because I would not have passed Calculus 2 without her support and positive attitude.

Jenna went out of her way to find out what was needed, and worked tirelessly to to help my son succeed in Algebra 2. We highly recommend her!

Jenna was full of useful, practical advice on how to take the ACT and how to master central math concepts.

Jenna was a fantastic math tutor for the GRE! She has extensive knowledge about the exam and was able to give me problems that were likely to show up on the test. She has many materials she is willing to share as well. She was very patient and has the ability to explain problems in a variety of ways! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their score on the Quantitative portion of the exam.

Jenna was a wonderful math tutor! She was patient and supportive. She gave me the space to struggle with problems and offered clues in such a way that allowed me to solve problems on my own. Our work together definitely increased my confidence in my math abilities. I highly recommend working with her.

From September until December 2015, I met with Jenna on weekends in preparation for the GRE exam. I knew I needed someone knowledgeable as well as patient. I am not one who takes standardized tests very often so I needed the right guidance. She showed me great ways to tackle the math section, ease through the reading section and gave me great feedback on how to prepare for the essay portion. I feel ready to take on the GREs in the next couple of weeks!

Jenna went over two of my Calc exams with me and went over the areas where I got the question wrong. She also explained different concepts I was struggling with and showed me easier ways to look at them.
