Jess Wang
About
Hello all, my name is Jess Pepper Wang. I used to run my own tutoring company before it was acquired and I moved on to build K-8 learning software products after. I am currently taking a long break from software and going back to my roots: instruction. I have 7 years of experience tutoring the ACT (verbal) and SAT (verbal) and AP Psychology, AP Economics, and AP US History. I build software products and curriculum for both the ISEE and SSAT and K-8 English Language Arts. If you want to verify my credentials, please feel free to find me on LinkedIn under Jess Wang. One of things I think I am really good at is: assessment. Whether that be assessing my students or myself. I am very realistic with my goals and don't overpromise and under deliver. You will never hear me say I know something when I don't and I will never promise you something if I don't think you have the bandwidth for it currently. But will I try to learn something with you that you and I might both be unfamiliar with? You bet 300% because I don't give up easily.
I like to take a more relaxed but yet effective approach to teaching. I will clearly define the goals for you before we start tutoring and after I assess you and will check-in on your understanding consistently while making the session feel like a chat or social interaction. I will always tell you the WHY, HOW, and WHAT in that order.

Learning is driven by logic and strategy. I recommend all students to read up on simple logic rules that will have you thinking about the way you think and improve your communication 10 fold i.e. If A is always B, is B always A? This is an invaluable way of thinking especially for standardized tests!
