"Jennifer is amazing. Her incredible writing guidance not only saved my grade, but also made navigating the long essays and tough literature more enjoyable. Her ability to make me laugh while teaching crucial reading and writing skills was a game-changer. Thanks to Jennifer's support and expertise, I was able to take my failing English grade all the way to an A. She has instilled confidence in my writing and reading skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life." - Julie Thompson

"I am so grateful Jennifer was able to provide private tutoring for my daughter. She loved to write, but after receiving some unfounded criticism from an editor, she shut down and did not even want to look at her writing. Jennifer came in and worked magic with her. My daughter went from not even wanting to talk about her stories to starting new projects after her first session, and she loves writing again. No matter how tired she is, she always wants to attend individual sessions as well as workshops. Jennifer provides her not only with help around the writing process, but also support for what it is to BE a writer." - E.P., parent
