Serving Westchester and Surrounding Counties

Hello! I’m Jess Li, and I’ve been tutoring math and science to grades 6-12 since 2018.

I grew up in Westchester, NY, and graduated from Scarsdale High School, after which I completed a Bachelor’s in Neuroscience at Columbia University.

I jumped into the education space after nearly two years of management consulting at McKinsey & Company and haven’t looked back!

In addition to tutoring, I have also worked as a teaching assistant at a therapeutic day treatment program called the Clear View School, located in Briarcliff, NY. There I instructed and supported students from a diverse array of psychological backgrounds.

As an educator, I coalesce elements of all of my past experiences—academic rigor, structure and presentation, plus emotional sensitivity and intuition—to create the most effective, personalized learning experience for each student.

Thanks for visiting—I look forward to the chance to work with your child!

Jess has been an angel to our family. She is more than just a tutor. My son fell behind during the pandemic, and his confidence was shaken as he struggled to move forward with advanced math. He was missing critical foundational information. Here’s something that you should know about Jess. She is an Ivy League graduate who was recruited into one of the top management consulting firms right out of college. She has the skill set to run a business – and to run it at a very high level. But more importantly, she has a heart. A heart that lead her to this profession. She will be your child’s greatest cheerleader. Jess, leads with positivity, and she has built the infrastructure to organize even the most disorganized child. I feel emotion when I write this, because Jess is a gift to our family. And I know she will be toward yours.

Ms. Jess Li is an outstanding tutor – the best we have ever had — who by her personal style filled with patience, kindness and determination, empowers your student with life-changing motivation for success. Get ready for a transformation in attitude and an extremely positive mindset. We all know that anxiety about grades and performance weigh heavily on parent and child. Jess sets learning goals and optimizes grade performance, never losing sight of objectives potentially more important such as self-esteem and confidence. We cannot thank Jess enough for her invaluable help to our family.

Working with Jess Li has been life changing for our son. Jess not only breaks things down so that a student can understand the concepts, but seems to love every moment of it. She is incredibly patient and enthusiastic. Our son thrived under her tutelage and is now able to have the confidence to teach himself difficult concepts and work through them independently. You will not find a better tutor or human.

Jess has been an exceptional teacher and friend to my son, collaborating with him throughout high school, and he is set to graduate this summer. Jess is not only engaging and enthusiastic but also excels in clarifying the logic of various topics, meticulously guiding through steps and processes to address any loopholes left from school. Beyond academics, Jess invests effort in understanding my son personally, providing valuable advice on activities and colleges. With her impactful teaching and nurturing, my son’s grades have improved, and his confidence and interest in math and science has heightened. Witnessing her brother’s progress, my daughter also works with Jess and likes her as much. I am grateful for her invaluable work and support for both of my children and appreciate her efforts forming a partnership with my family, enabling my children to thrive.

Jess is everything you would want in a tutor; smart, insightful and conscientious. Besides working on the content with my daughter, Jess is supportive, encouraging and motivating. Math is more accessible and clear to my daughter. She brings positivity and confidence building strategies to every math tutoring session. Working with Jess is enjoyable and focused at the same time.

Jess Li is the most incredible tutor I have ever had. She is an educator that focuses on the way her students learn and the specific needs of each student. I was the kind of kid who could not sit still with tutors and often stopped seeing them, bored, after two sessions. Studying alone was a mess for me, and I just couldn’t do it. Not only was Jess patient with me, but she also kept me engaged and taught me so much. It is evident that Jess cares for her students, as she pushes them to grow in a way that I have not seen any other educator execute. The best part? Nurturing works. She singlehandedly brought me to the point where I went from jaded to confident.

Jess is a natural teacher. She is conscientious and passionate about teaching. She has a knack for connecting with her students and is very good at drawing out the inchoate interest from her students. On top of tutoring the relevant subject matter, Jess also helps build her students’ self-confidence with constant encouragement and positive reassurance. My girls love Jess. They would like to have Jess as long as they can! I have no doubt Jess is going to be the most sought-after tutor in the region soon!
