I think this year is the one where I have changed the most as a writer. Your lessons didn’t just teach me, but they challenged me-made me look back at what I had written or read and really, truly think about it. Each of the assignments/projects in your class this year were great learning experiences. I admire your will and patience, as a teacher and a person, to keep on coming to teach our class every day. You are a wonderful teacher whom I am grateful to have.”

Both of my children had the great fortune to be taught by Jessica. She is highly skilled at finding strategies to support all students with their academic needs, while also building a personal connection that boosts the confidence needed to apply those strategies. My family is grateful for the inspiration and academic support Jessica gave our children.
