Support that meets the student

A confused look is a starting point.

For middle and high school students who need help with their coursework, stronger writing skills, or a plan for test preparation.

01 / WRITING

Make the argument clearer.

Thesis statements, organization, evidence and revision. Learn how to develop an idea and communicate it effectively.

02 / ENGLISH

Read with more understanding.

Close reading, literary analysis and classroom assignments. Move beyond what a passage says to how it works.

03 / TEST PREPARATION

Approach the test with a plan.

Practice English, reading and writing skills with focused support. Tell us which test you are preparing for so we can confirm a good fit.

For military-connected families

Meet your tutor

Jason Klingerman

I'm an English educator with a focus on writing, communication and literary analysis. I work with middle and high school students to make challenging material more approachable and help them develop their own thinking.

My approach brings explanation, questions and practice together—with room for the student to ask, try and revise.

The goal is to help students understand the work—and become more confident doing it themselves.

An easy first step

Talk first. Find a starting point.

Not sure what your student needs? Start with an optional free 10–15-minute consultation. We'll talk about what feels difficult, what the student wants to improve, and whether tutoring is a good fit.

The student questionnaire is optional too. You can have the consultation before filling it out, or talk through the questions together. No completed questionnaire is required, and you can request a paid session directly.

$50 / student · one hour

Tell me what your student is working on and when you're available. Every session is confirmed personally.

Scheduling
Sunday noon–5 p.m. and Tuesday 5–8 p.m., Mountain time, are tentative request windows. Every time, format, and location is confirmed personally.

Session terms
One-hour tutoring sessions are $50 per student, payable at the start by cash or an available electronic method. Cancellation is free if you contact me before the scheduled start. A missed confirmed session without that notice carries the full $50 fee. The initial consultation is free.

A request does not reserve a time or require payment. Please use a parent or guardian's contact details.

Request a consultation or session

A parent or guardian handles the request. Choose a starting point; neither a consultation nor the questionnaire is required for tutoring.

Optional student questionnaire — all nine questions are optional

For you, the student, to answer in your own words. A parent or guardian can help. Skip any question, or say "not sure." You can discuss these during the consultation instead. Please leave out private student records. Any answers you enter will be sent with this request through Formspree.

For example: writing, grades, reading, or getting ready for a test.5. What would you like to feel better about or do more independently? For example: feeling confident, getting started on work, staying motivated, or feeling less stressed.6. What might you want to do after high school? Examples: college, a trade, military service, work, another path, or still figuring it out. Skip if it is too early.7. About what grade were you in when English started feeling difficult? What was hard about it? Not sure is a valid answer.8. Do you have any big standardized tests coming up? Which ones, and when? Examples: state standardized assessments, ASVAB, SAT or ACT. This question concerns major standardized tests rather than ordinary classroom tests. None or not sure are valid answers.9. What hobbies, interests, or activities do you enjoy? Examples: sports, games, music, books, art, or anything you like learning about.

Mentioning a test does not mean every test or subject is offered. We'll discuss fit and scope before booking.
