About Jami
My degree is in education, and I’ve spent the last twenty years teaching in the classroom, in my home, and within our co-ops. My strength is in the area of literary arts, and I love teaching grammar, literature, and writing. My communication with my clients reflects a direct and thorough—yet, caring and encouraging—teacher’s mentoring guidance. What most of my clients appreciate is my ability to balance critique with compliment, leaving them with a positive overall experience.
