Jenny Cutler graduated in 2005 with a B.A. in Education, and in 2012 with a Master’s Degree in Multicultural Education, both from Eastern University. Jenny taught in both private and public schools until she had her first child and decided to stay home with him. She ran a tutoring business during her first few years as a stay at home parent but found teaching online to be an ideal fit for her, and she made the switch in 2014.

[Student Name] took the ACT this month for the final time – he was hoping to get his math score up near that “perfect” level. When I picked him up after the test he stated that he had done great on the English section. He credited his preparation for that section to this Foundations of Composition class…
When his scores arrived, he had improved his English score by 8 points!!! It is almost as high as his math score now!
So, THANK YOU! … [this] class was a great preparation, and more importantly it was taught in a way that helped him retain the information.
