About Jena

Empowering students to reach their full potential is at the heart of my teaching practice. With three years of experience supporting elementary and middle school learners, I specialize in English, history, and essential study skills. I believe every student possesses unique strengths, and I focus on building confidence through critical thinking rather than simple memorization. By actively listening and adapting my methods--from visual aids to real-world discussions--I ensure that complex concepts become manageable and engaging. I prioritize open communication with both you and your student to foster a collaborative, trust-based environment. Witnessing that "aha!" moment when a student finally masters a difficult skill remains the most rewarding part of my work. I look forward to helping your student succeed, and I am genuinely excited to be a part of their academic journey.
