Jeanette brings a breadth of educational experience to our team; she is a Connecticut certified mathematics teacher with four years teaching experience in the Fairfield County area, at both the middle school and high school levels. She has been a math tutor since 1997. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Boston University, and she received her Masters in Education from University of Bridgeport. During her time working in private and public schools she acted as a class advisor, supervising field trips, organizing class events and participating in school functions, and as a coach, leading golf and freshman girls’ basketball teams.

When Jeanette works with students, she keeps it simple. She is straightforward and easy to understand when she explains mathematical concepts. Instead of having students just memorize formulas, she shows them how these formulas were derived, so that they better understand them and can use them properly in applications.

"Our experience with Jeanette, our math tutor, was wonderful. She was very accommodating to our needs. When we needed her more than once a week, because of an impending test, she was always available. Jeanette was very helpful each week. She gave Richard the math instruction that he never received properly in school. Now Richard is going to high school - we hope with a more competent math teacher. However, if the need arises for supplementary math lessons, we shall be sure to contact Jeanette for her teaching services.
Thank you." - Ruth

"As you know, Jeanette tutored Annie on her calculus these past 2 years. While Annie has always been strong in math, she did struggle a bit with calculus and called on Jeanette quite a few times, often at the last minute before an exam. I know Jeanette was always very accommodating and flexible and was able to help Annie with her questions. Annie always found the sessions helpful--Jeanette knew the material and knew how to get the concepts across well. Annie did very well at Greenwich High School, graduating in June as the salutatorian in a class of 600. She is heading off to Dartmouth in a few weeks to begin her freshman year." Hsiao-lien

"My only regret is that we didn't find you sooner! As you know, Katherine's original SAT scores (before Learning Core) were competitive but she felt there was room for improvement in math. Thanks to Jeanette's support, she felt so much more confident going into the second round. After just 7 weeks, she improved by 30 points. The fact that you were both so kind and willing to come to our house made all the difference. It was always so convenient, low key and stress free.
Thanks again!" - Tina

"Well, thanks for asking about Julia. She is doing very well. She is starting her sophomore year at Syracuse U where she is studying Communication Design (similar to Graphic Design, but with a broader application). She made the Dean's list last semester, so we are very pleased. We were 100% happy with your service and think that Jeanette is the absolute BEST. She met with Julia twice specifically to focus on the strategies for taking the Math SAT. As I recall, the improvement was 70 points. There's no denying, that's an excellent result. I recommend your services whenever the subject of tutoring comes up." Jennifer

"Hilary didn't require a lot of tutoring in Math, but the help you gave her assisted her in understanding some of the fundamentals that she had not picked up in class. This gave her the confidence she needed. She finished up Pre-Calculus last year with an A- and will be taking AP Calculus in her senior year at the high school! You were there when she needed help, and I would recommend Jeanette to anyone looking for some help." - Pamela
