"My children both needed extra help with reading and comprehension and the school was of little help in guiding me on exactly what to do to help them. “Just read with them” was all I got. Quite frankly i felt their teaching models and strategies were a one fit all and not tailored to their strengths and needs. Then i reached out to Jenna. Where do I even begin?! First off she did an in depth assessment which shed light on exactly what my kids’ strengths and challenges are - this is vaguely done in the public school system. We have been going to tutoring with Ms Jenna since August. She has made my boys now love reading! They get excited to go to tutoring. My youngest just did a diagnostic reading exam - the school has a goal for them to improve by 10 pts from the last test in august - well my kid improved by 103 pts! He almost tripled his reading words per minute and is right where he needs to be! My other son went from being 1 year below grade level on his diagnostic to right on track for mid 4th grade! In fact he scored the 2nd highest in his class - improving by 72 points! These growth numbers exceed what they are expected to do in a whole year and they achieved this in 4 months! Their teachers have commented on how confident they are in reading and comprehension skills. Reading activities are no longer a battle and my kids have fallen in love with reading! I say all this because Ms Jenna is the key to all this - she is worth every penny! I see all the skills and gains transferring over into their school work and I am so excited for them! Thank you Jenna! You have worked wonders for my kids!!!!"★★★★★

"My daughter loves Jenna! She’s very caring and tedious in the way she teaches my child. She does great on communicating how the sessions go, whether on what my child needs help on and the things she did well on. Jenna knows how to connect with students. I highly recommend her!"★★★★★

"Miss Jenna is literally heaven sent! My daughter went from barely reading on grade level to literally reading fluently. Her reading confidence is through the roof. She has some more work to do but the progress she made in such a short amount of time has left me in awe and speechless at her strides. Miss Jenna is patient and knows her stuff! My daughter loves working with her. She looked forward to every session. Clear communication across the board with strengths and weaknesses. Progress reports and feedback. I highly recommend Miss Jenna to anyone in need of a tutor."★★★★★

"My daughter had an incredible experience with Ms. Jenna as her reading tutor. Jenna transformed my child's confidence in reading and comprehension in just a few sessions. My daughter eagerly anticipated each tutoring session, enjoying the engaging and personalized approach that made learning fun. Jenna provided insightful practice work that was tailored to my child's needs and helped reinforce the skills learned. Her dedication and expertise have made a remarkable difference, and it's clear that she is the best tutor we could have hoped for. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a top-notch reading tutor for their child."★★★★★

About Me
meet miss jenna
Welcome to my educational journey!I'm a proud graduate of Florida Gulf Coast University, where I earned my degree in Early Childhood Education PreK-3rd grade.
When it comes to literacy, I don't just teach it; I specialize in it!
My K-12 Reading Endorsement is a testament to my specialized skills in nurturing young readers and fostering a love for language.Throughout my career, I've been recognized as a Highly Effective Teacher, consistently delivering excellence in literacy education. I had the honor of being a Model Teacher for the Children's Literacy Initiative, where my dedication to advancing literacy skills was acknowledged and celebrated.As a Team Leader for four years, I've embraced the collaborative spirit, working hand-in-hand with fellow educators to create an environment where every child can thrive. For me, it's about creating a rich, supportive, and dynamic learning space where each child can reach their full potential.
My Philosophy

The heart of my teaching philosophy is where every child is seen as a unique capable learner on the path to becoming the best version of themselves. In the early years of literacy, we lay the groundwork for a lifetime of curiosity and knowledge. Children have a strong desire to learn and it is our responsibility as adults to nurture and empower these budding minds.Literacy is the cornerstone of learning. It provides children with the tools to seek information and comprehend the world around them. I invite you to reach out and learn more about how my passion for literacy can help place your child on the path to success.
