Jennifer Bredberg has a BA in English and a Masters in Education with Secondary certification in English and Social Science. She took over the director position at WSEA in 2015.

The thing she enjoys best about tutoring is that it’s one-on-one, and she can create a good rapport with her students.

Jennifer’s favorite subject to teach is English. She enjoys reinforcing grammar rules and helping students understand what the rules are and why we use them. This usually helps students become better readers and writers.

When she’s not teaching, she loves to spend time with her friends and family. She also loves reading, cooking, and the outdoors.
