Jordan Rochelson

Bio & Expertise: Jordan has been an educator for over a decade, teaching students from diverse cultural backgrounds in a range of educational settings. He began his career teaching English and theater at Salisbury School, where he spent three years cultivating a dynamic classroom rooted in literature and performance.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jordan shifted to working closely with private families both in the U.S. and abroad, offering personalized academic support and guidance. He has since returned to the classroom and now teaches seventh-grade English at an independent school in Stamford, Connecticut.

Jordan brings a distinctive blend of experience to his teaching, combining rigorous academics with creative, student-centered approaches. His work is rooted in understanding each student as a whole person — guiding them not only in academics, but in their confidence, self-awareness, and personal growth. He also serves as trusted advisors to families, helping them navigate the evolving academic landscape and supporting their children’s development with clarity and care.

He holds a B.A. in English from the University of Michigan and an M.A. in English Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. Jordan is trained in Project-Based Learning (PBLWorks), Harkness Instruction (Exeter Humanities Institute), and Executive Functioning coaching.

Fun Fact: Jordan trained as an Opera singer, and has sung four full-length, foreign-language operas.
