Jane S. Kerr

I graduated from Washington and Jefferson College in 1980 with B.A. in English and a Secondary Education certification. For the next few years as my family grew, I worked as a substitute teacher. After my youngest was born, I returned to school and received my M. Ed. in Human Growth and Development from the University of Maryland in 1990. I then taught courses in psychology and in education at Westmoreland County Community College and at St. Vincent College. Once my youngest was in school, I returned once again to school to work on my Ph.D. at the University of Pittsburgh.

Through my education and my teaching experience, I knew that I could supplement my children’s school work so they could learn even more. Therefore, when they were young, I gave them "mom homework,” even in the summer! As a college instructor, I was fortunate to have access to excellent educational materials for my children to use.

In 1997 when my oldest began high school, his "mom homework" logically focused on SAT preparation. However, I found that effective materials were not easy to find. So I used my knowledge of adolescent development and my training in standardized tests to develop an individualized course of study for him. A neighbor heard about what I had developed and sent her daughter to my house for private tutoring. Both students did very well on the test, and word of their successes spread.

As more parents asked me to tutor their sons and daughters, my company grew. I now work with other dedicated tutors who share my philosophy of providing personalized instruction in a reassuring atmosphere for motivated students who want to improve their test scores.

We would love the privilege of working with your son or daughter!
