Jesse Devries
Private Tutor for hire
Education is a breeze when you choose Devries!
Welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. My name is Jesse Devries and I have been tutoring privately for 6 years now through my business here. I am based out of Ellensburg, Washington and offer my services there but I also tutor via zoom to students I cannot reach physically and I have been able to achieve as good results over zoom as I have in person.
The education environment today is always hard to read, it feels like it is shifting beneath our feet and changing everyday. That is what I seek to do with Devries Tutoring. My mission is to make education simplified for families. Whether your child goes to public school, private school, or is home-schooled, I can work with every education environment to achieve success. If you son or daughter has barriers that make education more difficult for them, then I am your best option. I have spent most of my educational career helping guide, mentor, and teach students who have things like autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and many others. I prioritize strong rapport and respect building with the students, and through mutual respect as well as my strong content knowledge, this is how I achieve results. What you get with Devries Tutoring is much more than just a tutor, you get a mentor, a positive role model, and even a professional reference to help your student acquire work potentially later on down the road. I am committed to my students, I can only take so many because I give so much of myself to each and every tutoring session, teaching is my passion, and helping others learn is what I was put on this earth to do.
A small thing I wish to add here. The classes below are not the extent of what I can teach. Here is a more full list other than what is below: History, English (reading and writing), Civics, Debate/public speaking, career preparation involving resume and cover letter as well as mock interviews. if you have any questions about what I teach if it isn’t on this list, feel free to ask! Even if I cannot, I may have a contact who can.
I wanted to end this introduction up by saying once again, thank you for taking the time to read this. Even if I am not able to help, I am humbled you would take the time to at least consider me. Education is a journey, one I am privileged enough to participate in with the up and coming generations, and I am only able to continue it because people take the time to read and talk about my services, it really does make a huge difference. Below you will see more about what I offer including the classes I teach, my contact information, and my pricing. If you ever have any questions, never hesitate to reach out, I am always looking to help when it comes to education!
Subjects I can tutor, a few of them anyways!
I can tutor for any grade level, from 1st grade all the way through 12th grade! This includes intro college courses and running start preparation.
Science
I can teach Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Psychology, Physiology, and Earth science. I work with grades 1-12 as well as early college level courses. No matter if you are in public, private, or home school, I can teach whatever science topic is necessary and you can rely on me to be able to connect it to why it is relevant to the student further than just their studies.
Math
I can work with grades 1-12 on this and am competent in math all the way through early calculus with limits and derivatives. Unlike many educators, I work hard to both help students understand material, why it matters, and how it is important to them. I am always prepared for the question,” Why do I have to learn x thing in math?”. If you want a tutor who will take their time, elaborate every step, and is devoted to not just helping your student learn the math, but even enjoy it, then I am the best option.
Other
Some of the other subjects i teach/offer are as follows:
History
ELA
Career prep/Mock interviews
Executive Function
Education consulting
There are very few subjects I am not able to teach. In most cases, so long as i am provided enough time to prepare the lesson in advance, I can tutor just about anything. Just talk to me about what your student’s needs are and we will work something out.
Pricing
Elementary school, 1st-5th grade: 60-75 dollars an hour
Middle school, grades 6-8: 70-85 dollars an hour
High school, grades 9-12: 85-100 dollars an hour
Test Prep (SAT, ACT): 100 dollars an hour
Interview prep/Career assistance (resume assistance, mentorship): 70-100 dollars an hour
Rates are negotiable and always flexible as well as change based on the student’s needs and circumstances. If you are on a budget, talk with me, we will work something out. I have never turned down a client because they can’t afford my services and I certainly won’t start now. I am always in the business of negotiating in good faith, so consider these asking prices and I am happy to haggle with you about what you believe is fair should these rates not fit your budget! Prices include both time spent at the tutoring appointment as well as all time spent preparing to instruct the lesson before hand.
