Bio

Hi there! 👋 I'm Amy - a passionate, full-time tutor with 5 years of experience helping students succeed. My specialty has been tutoring math and science subjects at the middle and high school levels, but I also work with other subjects and adult learners. Before moving to Wyzant, I got my start on another tutoring website called GoPeer where I accumulated more than 300 five-star reviews and 1700 tutoring hours.

Hi there! 👋 I'm Amy - a passionate, full-time tutor with 5 years of experience helping students succeed. My specialty has been tutoring math and science subjects at the middle and high school levels, but I also work with other subjects and adult learners. Before moving to Wyzant, I got my start on another tutoring website called GoPeer where I accumulated more than 300 five-star reviews and 1700 tutoring hours. I've loved this job so much and I'm looking forward to helping more students reach their educational goals.

My loyal clients have described me as patient, kind, prepared, and punctual. They appreciate my thorough, clear explanations as I break down difficult concepts. My teaching style is personalized for each student since we all process knowledge differently so I'm flexible in trying different methods until they're confident in the material. I'm always positive and gentle in my approach in hopes of taking the stress out of school and making learning fun again. I believe students should be guided, not just told what to do, so my teaching includes asking questions that lead them to the right answers. I like to use a mix of practice problems, visual aids, charts, study guides, and flashcards.

My education centered around math and science, and in 2018 I graduated UC Santa Barbara with a degree in Biological Anthropology. I also took pre-requisite courses for nursing school and passed the nursing school entrance exam.

For several years, I worked for a nanny agency called College Nannies, Sitters, and Tutors where I cared for kids with learning disabilities, ADHD, and Autism. I also spent the last year working as a teaching assistant at Altus Schools, a charter school in southern California that catered mostly to Special Ed and English learner students. I continue to work under the guidance of several teachers in my private tutoring.

Great

Amy is awesome! She is kind and supportive. Isn’t pushy and lets you guide the lessons in the direction you want. During her lessons she always gives you time to figure out the information before she steps in to assist. I think this is really important, and helps the learner not feel rushed or overwhelmed. I would I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great tutor!

So good!

Amy has worked with my daughter a few times now on AP Chemistry. My daughter doesn’t understand her school teacher, but when Amy explains the problem, she understands everything immediately. Amy is very good, and my daughter is very happy working with her.

JENNIFER, 1 lesson with Amy

Great knowledgeable tutor

We have used Amy for both chemistry and algebra. I just been fantastic to have one person to be able to do both and switch between the subjects as needed. Weather was for the day or just split one hour session.
