Introducing Jeanie Hatfield, our inspiring Tutor of the Month for October 2024! Jeanie resides in the vibrant city of Fullerton, CA, and has been an incredible asset to the Firefly Tutors team since joining in August 2024. She brings over 30 years of teaching and tutoring experience, and a wealth of knowledge and dedication which she applies to each student she tutors.
Jeanie earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Biola University and previously maintained a Professional Clear Single Subject Teaching Credential in California during her 20+ years as a math teacher. While she primarily tutors math, Jeanie’s expertise spans a variety of subjects, including science, essay writing, GED, and CBEST preparation. She looks forward to working with a family on reading too.
What makes Jeanie exceptional is her passion for helping students who struggle with math or believe they aren't capable of succeeding in the subject. She thrives on showing students that math is within their reach, and nothing makes her prouder than seeing them achieve high marks on quizzes and tests when they didn’t think it was possible. Her favorite piece of advice to share? “Don’t give up… you CAN do math!”
Outside of tutoring, Jeanie is an avid Survivor fan, enjoying weekly viewing parties with her family—though none of them would compete on the show! She cherishes time spent with her husband, two adult children, and their significant others, whether enjoying a day at Disneyland or exploring Oak Glen Apple Country. You can also find Jeanie swimming at her local gym at 5 a.m. nearly every morning!
We’re thrilled to celebrate Jeanie Hatfield as our Tutor of the Month for October. Her commitment to helping students overcome challenges and her belief in their potential makes her an invaluable member of the Firefly Tutors family.
