Jayne was extremely patient and supportive with my 6 yo's struggle with reading. He didn't want to do tutoring but liked her enough to no longer complain about it as the sessions continued. She spent time to share with me her thoughts on techniques, resources and approaches we could use with him to identify and work with his learning and speech difficulties. I very much enjoyed working with her read more

Jayne has been my son's tutor for almost a year, and the progress he's made has been amazing. When he started kindergarten, he wasn't reading yet and now he's reading confidently, ahead in phonics, and even starting on math! Jayne is patient, kind, and truly talented. With her background in education, she's also given me great advice and insight as a parent. I really think having a tutor is one of the best decisions we've made, with all the hoops kids have to jump through at school, having such a seasoned tutor like Jayne gives them a real head start. We're so grateful for her! read more

We have been so blessed to work with Jayne. I have a fifth grade daughter, who has struggled with math for the past several years and we have worked with a handful of tutors-each of them have been great-but I would say, Jayne is truly exceptional. She has a very natural and sincere rapport with my daughter, which has helped to reduce much of the frustration and anxiety that can contribute to her math struggles. I believe that her approach has allowed my daughter to cultivate more optimism and confidence in her abilities and capacity. read more

Jayne Is a very knowledgeable and experienced tutor. She has been working with my 11 year old who has dyscalculia for the last 2 years. My child looks forward to working with Jayne and appreciates how she breaks things down and explains them. Jayne collaborated with her classroom teacher to pinpoint areas to focus on. I highly recommend her. read more

My daughter has struggled with math for most of elementary school. By fourth grade, I realized that she needed tutoring in order to keep up with her math assignments and homework. I was immediately intrigued when I saw a tutoring service called The Compassionate Tutor. My daughter needed just the right person who would be supportive, encouraging, relatable and most of all patient. After speaking with Jayne, I knew that she would not only be a helpful math mentor but would also provide the compassion and empathy that would be meaningful to my daughter. We're now in the second half of fifth grade and Jayne has been amazing -- she's so patient, able to break down the information and explain in ways that make sense to my daughter. She is truly compassionate and starts each session asking about my daughter's day and listening to and talking about whatever she shares. My daughter looks forward to her twice weekly homework sessions with Jayne and her overall attitude about math has greatly improved. I have worked with a number of tutors over the years for both of my children and Jayne is by far the best. I highly recommend her especially if you have a child who needs a gentle touch and a friendly, welcoming manner to make a difficult subject a bit easier to digest. Thank you, Jayne! read more

Jayne is an exceptional tutor. She is kind, warm, intelligent and mindful. She really has a knack for simplifying and explaining topics so that they make more sense in very easily digestible way. My daughter was recently feeling less confident in Math and wanted to uplevel her math skills. Jayne has been nothing but amazing in this process of supporting my daughter. Jayne has helped her in understanding concepts in a clear way. My daughter is now more confident in Math in ways I have never seen before. Jayne's work has shown up in the results of my daughter's math tests as well and Jayne did this all in a very short amount of time. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. If you are curious about Jayne's work, I highly recommend you contact her. read more

My son went into Covid needing math support, so coming out and back into the real world, the standardized tests drew a clear picture he needed help. We've been with Jayne for about a year now, and by the end of the school year he tested slightly above average(!), and his grades in school reflected the change as well. He looks forward to his time with her every single week - never requests to skip a session, and is glad when I remind him it's a "Jayne day". He feels like she makes it fun, and he likes the attention he gets that he can't get from the teacher in school. She celebrates his successes, and zero's in on where he's feeling not-so-confident. Seeing the success with our son, we added time for our daughter as well. HIGHLY recommend Jayne. She's well-rounded, kind, pleasant, comfortable, genuinely cares about her students, and is always thinking of ways that she can help them better. read more

Jayne helped my daughter understand some concepts in her math class that she had been struggling with all year. She was able to break down the fundamentals to help her understand that they build on themselves. My daughters confidence in math has improved and I can tell she feels better about the subject after just two sessions. Thank you Jayne! read more

Due to Covid and virtual schooling, I could tell my daughter, who was heading into 5th grade, wasn't ready. She lacked confidence, study habits and her reading level hadn't improved. Jayne started tutoring our 10 year old about a year ago and we've seen incredible improvements. My daughter's reading level has gone up significantly, she's getting great scores on her tests and her confidence has soared. Jayne is great, she's calm and clear and makes learning fun. read more

Jayne has been absolutely amazing! We found her services through Yelp and we are so glad we did. She is extremely smart, highly effective, dedicated and has the natural ability to communicate and teach. Our daughter was having a challenging time navigating Geometry when the school year began. She absolutely dreaded going to the class and wanted to give up. Once Jayne started her lessons, our daughter began to really grasp the material and her confidence grew by leaps and bounds. As the school year comes to an end we could not be happier with the results and her report card! Other students are actually asking our daughter for help since Jayne explains the material so thoroughly. It really has been a 180 degree turnaround. Don't hesitate to reach out to Jayne. She is very responsive, responsible, and overall has such a positive and friendly attitude. She's the best! read more

Jayne has been so very helpful with our daughter. She was struggling to even sit down in front of a math assignment but really came to enjoy her time with Jayne. She built such a good relationship with her and took the time to warm up without getting sidetracked from the work at hand. She was warm and encouraging throughout the year. She really helped us through a rough time school-wise. Really recommend her!! read more

Jayne tutored me though my college math courses and I fully contribute my success to her fantastic ability to meet you where you are at. She is a natural teacher and has worked with my peers and families within my network. The reviews and results are always the same and I continue to recommend Jayne's services to my friends and their kids alike! read more

Jayne was awesome with our shy 10 year old who was struggling with creative writing. She was very patient and understanding with him especially when he was a bit difficult with participating. Her style is more out of the box and exactly what he needed. Highly recommended! read more

Jayne has been an absolute godsend! Our 10 year old son was struggling with 5th grade math and was full of dread about even getting help with it. He is a sensitive kid and learns best when he connects with a tutor on a personal level. The first tutor we tried was not a match, way too all-business for our kid. Jayne is warm and approachable and made him comfortable immediately. Not only did his work improve, but he even said that he "sort of kind of a little bit" likes math! read more

Couldn't say enough about Jayne and how helpful she was as my sons college tutor. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and we will continue to utilize her services and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She was able to engage my son in a patient and enjoyable manner and he actually did well in his stats class. She was always able to accommodate his schedule and always very supportive! She is a rockstar! read more
