Hello! I'm Jenn.

I believe true academic growth happens through highly customized, one-on-one attention. For years, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with families to unlock their children’s potential—whether they’re tackling their first phonics lesson or preparing for a major entrance exam.My focus is on creating a supportive environment where your child can build lasting confidence, learn essential skills, and achieve their biggest academic goals. I offer highly customized educational services for students across the entire K–12 spectrum.

Specialized Support Where It Matters Most

I have deep experience in the areas that create the biggest challenges and opportunities for K–12 scholars:

High School Entrance Exam Preparation: Focused, results-driven coaching for the HSPT, HSAT, and ISEE exams.
Executive Functioning Coaching: Specialized training in organization, planning, time management, and focus, particularly for middle school students who need tools to succeed independently.
Early Reading Support: Extensive expertise providing foundational reading support for struggling readers in the primary grades.
Advanced Math & Selective Enrollment: Tutoring for general academic enrichment in Math (5th grade through Algebra I), as well as preparation for CPS Selective Enrollment K–8 and Academic Center tests.

Investment in Your Child's Success

My hourly rates are carefully tailored to ensure you receive the best value for highly specialized, one-on-one instruction. Rates are determined by three key factors:

Student's Grade and Subject.
Type of Service (e.g., Test Preparation vs. Academic Support)
Meeting Location (In-home sessions vs. online meetings)

"Working with Jenn was the best investment we made for our eighth grader. Not only did Trevor gain the skills to feel confident on the ISEE, but he was successfully accepted into his top-choice selective enrollment school. She truly made the difference."

Parent of a Student Accepted to Whitney Young

"Before Jenn, homework was a nightly battle of organization and procrastination. Within three months of executive function coaching, our middle schooler is initiating tasks and managing his own planner. The skills he learned were life-changing and reduced stress for our entire family."

Parent of 8th Grade Student, Park Ridge

"My daughter hated reading. Jenn's patient and customized approach not only boosted her reading level by a full year but, more importantly, gave her back her confidence. Now she brings books to the dinner table. We can't thank her enough."
