About Me
italki teacher since Jul 16, 2021InterestsArtWritingMedical & HealthcareTravelScience
Hello, Welcome =) I have over 4 years teaching experience, online and in the classroom.
I’m Teacher Jess from the US and thanks for reviewing my profile! I'm blessed to be an American, but as a Christian I am passionate about building relationships with people from other cultures and learning about how I can better serve internationally! I am happily married. I hold a BA from Indiana University. I enjoy guiding others to reach their full potential and achieve success!Me as a Teacher
Throughout my adult life I have traveled beyond borders, into jungles, and spent time in places where wifi is nonexistent! I bring this daring attitude and positive outlook into my classroom as well. There is not one student who cannot master what it is they have in their spirit to conquer. As an Arabic learner, I also have empathy for those who have language frustrations and I give plenty of patient possibilities for growth, without creating intense pressure. My classes are fun filled, yet precise.
Trust and the teacher’s adaptation ability are of upmost importance in creating a long lasting, successful language journey!My lessons & teaching style
I have a forward approach to teaching and work best with students who are willing to engage in the language fully. As a current Arabic student I am empathetic to detail and difficulties, yet we must not waste time during our time together.
***** I always end class 5 MINUTES before the allotted time because I teach consecutively, which allows a brief moment between students =) ****** If you cancel under 24 hours as the Italki policy, your lesson will be marked as completed. ******My teaching material

I recommend the teacher Jessica, she is very professional and I feel that I have advanced. She corrects my pronunciation and I feel very comfortable with the class. I'll follow taking classes with her.

A bit confrontational, the friendly person in the video was missing from class. Stimulating conversation though!

Literally the best teacher on this entire platform! Jessica's a very approachable and patient person. I fell in love with her energy and professionalism! She helped me with some pronunciation issues and gave me lots of valuable learning tips.
I'm going to recommend her to everyone I know! Thank you so much Jessica!

Jess is definitely a professional teacher. She talked a lot with my son. Since it is the first lesson between them, there are no specific topics and just topics in daily life. When there are some grammar mistakes, she was able to correct it in a suitable way. For sure it is a significant communication.
