Hello,

I am a recipient of two "Teacher of the Year" awards and have been teaching and tutoring successfully for 20 years.

Although I specialize in Math and Science, I can help with a variety of subjects as well as with study skills. I worked hard to earn myself a Chemistry degree on a full academic scholarship to college, and I can help you with all of your tutoring needs.

I am very positive and encouraging. My students appreciate how hardworking I am. They have told me that I have a gift for explaining difficult concepts, and that I will keep working patiently with them until they understand.

I look forward to working with you!

Amy is a brilliant tutor, she customizes her teaching for each student!

Amy in just one hour, taught me how to do math problems that a college professor has taught the class twice and another tutor, I spent an hour with, attempted to teach me. She is a skilled, knowledgeable teacher who understands what one is stumbling over and she tailors her teaching so one 'gets it' I highly recommend her!

Amy C. Makes Chemistry Click

Another excellent session with Amy C.! She reviewed periodic properties, chemical bonding, and molecular geometry, answering all the questions Mason brought with him in a clear and engaging way. Amy C. was well-prepared, patient, and responsive, helping Mason reinforce both foundational concepts and more advanced topics. She also provided helpful websites for additional review and practice, giving Mason great tools to keep building his skills between sessions. Her ability to adapt to his pace and clarify areas of confusion made the session especially productive. Highly recommend Amy C. to anyone looking to build confidence and deepen their understanding in chemistry.
