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.

Renee R. –
Highly recommend this class. As a parent, I appreciated that the class felt appropriately rigorous and the projects gave them freedom to explore something they wanted. To me, this struck the perfect balance of both enchanted, child-lead learning, and the excellence I want for children’s education. Mrs Cutler regularly communicated to parents with weekly emails giving a recap of what was being covered and what to anticipate in the week ahead. I appreciated the communication and knowing what was happening even though my children didn’t require my help with assignments. I felt very supported if I had questions as she was always prompt with replying to emails. This class has been a win win for me and my two daughters who have taken this class with Mrs Cutler.

Wow! Mrs. Cutler’s Language Arts class was an incredible experience for our first time using Excelsior classes. She was excellent at communicating about assignments and due dates with parents & the student. Our 5th grade boy didn’t love reading or writing before this class and she really helped him gain confidence. We are looking forward to his younger siblings taking this class in the future!
