JENNA H.

My name is Jenna and I am passionate about teaching science, math, and French. I love helping students build confidence, improve their skills, and reach their goals. One of the most rewarding parts of tutoring is seeing my students’ progress and sharing that excitement with both them and their families.

I am currently completing a BSc in Molecular Biology with a minor in Chemistry at the University of Toronto. I have worked with more than 50 students from kindergarten through Grade 12, supporting them in their school courses and, in some cases, teaching full courses to students who were not taking them at school. I am comfortable with math up to and including Advanced Functions and Calculus, and I am fluent in English, French, and Arabic, which lets me support students in French at any level.

Outside of tutoring, you will usually find me painting, knitting, reading, cooking, or out for a long walk. My long-term goal is to become a doctor, and tutoring has become one of my favourite parts of that path. It has taught me patience, how to explain complicated ideas simply, and how much I enjoy watching a student realize they can do something they thought they could not.
