Eight years in Florida and Arizona public and charter school classrooms. A BA in Creative Writing. A track record of student proficiency on state standardized assessments. A sterling reputation for delivering high-quality ELA instruction with joy and intention.

Jonell launched studyus.co to support students no matter how they are educated—homeschool, private school, or public school. Through 1:1 online sessions, students have the safe space to ask the questions they may feel uncomfortable to ask in school, to make mistakes, and to progress on their own terms. Here, they gain clarity around the writing process, confidently explore argumentative, narrative, poetic and expository writing, learn vocabulary, and build the critical thinking skills that leads to elevated thoughts and actions.

Jonell designed studyus.co so middle school students could have the experience today’s modern classrooms can’t offer: one educator, fully present, asking the questions that change how students think about a story and ultimately, the world around them.
