How tutoring works

Personal, focused sessions with everything your student needs kept in one place.

01

One-on-one on Zoom

I meet live with your student over Zoom, one-on-one, so every session is focused entirely on them and what they need.

02

Built around their needs

Each session is tailored to where your student is and where they're headed — working at their pace toward their goals.

03

A shared Google Doc

Your student is set up with a shared Google Doc for strategies, information, homework, and practice tests — all in one place to revisit anytime.

Meet Jaclyn

For more than 20 years, Jaclyn Rummel has helped students across the U.S. become stronger readers, writers, and test-takers.

What sets her apart is how personal the work is — she ties each student's grammar practice to things meaningful in their own life, so every skill sticks. More than anything, she cares about where her students are headed, helping them earn spots in top schools and programs.

"Kids don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."— Flip Flippen

"Reading and writing well isn't a talent you're born with. It's a skill, and skills can be taught."
