About Jenna
Hello, I’m Jenna, a South African university psychology tutor originally from Johannesburg, with 10 years of teaching experience and an academic background in psychology and neuroscience.
I graduated summa cum laude and as valedictorian of my BA in Psychology at Reichman University, achieving a final average of 99% and receiving the President’s Award. I later completed an MSc in Neuroscience at Bar-Ilan University with a 97% average, graduating magna cum laude. I have also worked as a university teaching assistant for Cognitive Processes and have extensive experience teaching psychology students privately, in small groups and through intensive exam-preparation courses.
I teach because I genuinely enjoy finding the explanation that makes a difficult concept finally click. Many capable students struggle because material is presented too quickly or abstractly—not because they lack ability. My academic and teaching experience enables me to explain both theoretical subjects and quantitative topics such as statistics and research methods clearly, patiently and accurately.
My aim is to help every student feel comfortable asking questions, understand the reasoning behind the material and develop the confidence to succeed independently.

My goal is to turn difficult psychology topics into clear, logical steps that you can understand, apply and remember. My teaching style combines strong academic knowledge with simple, student-friendly explanations, relatable examples and guided practice.
Every online lesson is personalised to your university module, learning style and goals. I tutor undergraduate psychology students in statistics, probability, research methods, JASP, cognitive psychology, biological psychology and neuroscience, and personality theories. I can help you understand confusing lectures, strengthen foundational knowledge, prepare for exams, practise past-paper questions and approach research reports with greater confidence.
During a typical lesson, we first identify exactly where you are struggling. I then explain the concept from the foundations using diagrams, concrete examples and step-by-step reasoning before we apply it to practice questions together. I check your understanding throughout, ensuring that you can explain and use the material independently rather than simply memorising it.
Lessons are taught in English and are suitable for first-year through advanced undergraduate students. My sessions are structured, supportive and interactive, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions without judgement—particularly for students who feel overwhelmed by statistics or research methods.

Jenna is an exceptional private tutor. Through a range of study skill techniques and an in-depth knowledge of her subjects, she is able to simplify the most difficult concepts. I started lessons with Jenna with little hope of ever succeeding as I was failing dismally. In no time at all, she managed to get me totally up to speed, scoring over 90% in all my subjects. Her patience and ability to tap into my unique needs instilled a confidence in me that I have never experienced before. I honestly could not recommend Jenna enough!
I first started working with Jenna during the second semester of my first year in my psychology degree. At the time, I felt very lost when it came to studying. I wasn’t sure which techniques worked best for me or how I was supposed to memorize and truly understand such a dense and demanding amount of material.
Once I started working with Jenna, everything changed. She has an incredible ability to make even difficult material feel interesting, approachable, and much easier to understand. There isn’t a question I ask her that she isn’t willing to help me with. If she doesn’t immediately know the answer, she takes the time to research it and always makes sure to get back to me.
More importantly, Jenna has helped me understand how I learn. She taught me how to study more effectively, how to organize information, and how to actually absorb and retain the material rather than simply trying to memorize it. Those skills have made such a difference not only in my understanding of psychology, but also in my confidence as a student.
The results speak for themselves—my grades have improved tremendously since I began working with her, and I truly don’t think I could have achieved the progress I have without her support, patience, and encouragement.
Jenna genuinely cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. She is knowledgeable, patient, dedicated, and an amazing tutor. I couldn’t recommend her more highly, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had her helping me throughout my degree.Jenna was my tutor during both my first and second year of psychology, and she was amazing. She understands the material very well and knows how to explain difficult topics in a clear and simple way. She is patient, supportive, and really helped me understand the subjects better. I would definitely recommend her she’s the best!
I absolutely recommend Jenna for private lessons. Thanks to her I got a better understanding of courses I was struggling with, and was able to get more than 90 on my exams. She’s also super kind, very warm hearted and patient. Better private teacher I’ve had so far.
