Hi! My name is Amanda, and I am passionate about tutoring math. I have been a math and science tutor at one of the local community colleges for almost a year, helping students learn skills ranging from adding fractions to calculus to balancing chemical equations. I also have extensive experience as a private math, chemistry, writing, and history tutor. I graduated in 2010 with a 4.0 GPA and a bachelor's degree in nutrition from Arizona State University. I am currently working on a master's degree at Arizona State University in nutrition.

My teaching philosophy is simple: make learning meaningful by showing students why they are doing something. Memorization may allow students to pass their classes, but it is only when they truly understand the meaning behind the principles that they will be able to move to the next level in their education.

I would be honored to have the opportunity to work with you or your child on increasing both math skills and math confidence!

Study Skills

As a student finishing my master's degree soon, I have had ample time to finesse my study habits and skills over the course of many years. For much of this time, I have also been juggling multiple jobs, so learning to focus and use my time wisely was essential. These skills also bore results: I maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout my entire undergraduate and graduate experience. I would love to pass along my tricks of the trade to less experienced students.
