Meet Your Instructor

I’m Jennifer Knapp, a math educator with over 29 years classroom experience and  17 years of tutoring experience, who has worked with students across a wide range of ability levels.   I regularly work with students in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2, helping them build strong mathematical foundations and confidence.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education from Eastern Illinois University and my Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Illinois.  

I specialize in helping students strengthen foundational skills, close learning gaps, and build confidence in mathematics. My approach focuses on breaking down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps so students understand the reasoning behind the math—not just how to get the answer.
