Wow! Another writer! I've been a teacher since 2002 at various grade levels. I've tutored first and second graders in math and writing; middle school writing, and during the regular school year, I've taught 3rd-5th grade, with half of my 20 years teaching being in 4th grade.

This chapter with JumpWriting is just one more way to give back to students, hone my skills, and have fun while doing it.

I'll bring my creative energy and experience to your writing adventure!

I'm so excited to be a part of the Jump team! Let's write!

I am honored to have the opportunity to learn from young minds all the various ways I can perceive the world through imagination and empathy. I am dedicated to learning and being the best representation of a teacher who can guide students to their highest potential while affirming and encouraging them to strengthen the many gifts they hold.

Hello, my name is Aniset Idriss! I will be a freshman this fall at Princeton University. My academic achievements are listed below, but I believe what I bring most to the table is my love for kids. As an elder cousin and sibling, a babysitter of eight years, and a coach for an 8th grade rowing program, I have applicable experience working with instructing and leading young students. Teaching and coaching are my biggest post-collegiate dreams.
At Princeton, I will be pursuing a degree in Anthropology and minoring in Creative Writing. Throughout my high school career in Washington DC, I wrote 5, 300+ page novels, earned a 1430 on my SATs, excelled with straight As in all of my courses, and received a 5 on the AP English Language exam (I also took AP English Literature, and received an A in the course, however, my test scores are not out yet). Between my writing achievements and my passion for working with kids, coaching your children would be my pleasure!

Amy Chamberlain

Service: Jump Private Coaching - Master Teacher

Hello, I'm Amy Chamberlain and my favorite part of teaching is helping kids gain confidence in themselves so they can succeed.
How? By making learning and developing necessary skills FUN and ENGAGING rather than frustrating and a fight with students.
My secret recipe for success is using topics that my students are already passionate about to get them invested in working on areas that need improvement. Whether it be in their writing, organizational skills, reading, public speaking, or critical thinking, when the exercises are centered around something they care about, they are willing to dive in and the path to improvement has already begun. Why shouldn't learning be fun?

Professional Background: I graduated from USF with an MEd in 2021. I have extensive experience as an educator and private instructor in both primary and secondary education. I also hold a graduate degree in education administration. My other specialties are writing, reading, and language arts.
