Hi there, I'm Amy! I hold a BSc in Psychology and BA in Anthropology as well as a Master's in Primate Behaviour and Conservation. Outside of this platform, I have been working as a private tutor for almost 3 years.

I have received corporate training in general tutoring and more specific training in teaching ACT, SAT, AP classes, and assisting with college essays. I have experience tutoring a wide range of ages from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. All of my test prep students outside of this platform have seen an increase in their scores! I have seen significant success from my students with ADHD and anxiety, too.

I am incredibly passionate about education and bring lots of enthusiasm, encouragement, and positivity to my classroom. I always work to build my students' confidence and adapt to their learning styles. This may mean teaching calming techniques to use before a test, working on effective annotation and notetaking, or encouraging student growth.

I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm and skills with you or your child!

Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

I have received corporate training in teaching ACT English.
ACT Math

ACT Math

I've been trained in corporate ACT materials from several companies over the years. I'm familiar with ACT math concepts and strategies. I'm also familiar with effective tips, tricks, and teaching methods.
ACT Reading

ACT Reading

I was trained to teach ACT by top tier tutoring companies. I have both material and strategy expertise. I have plenty of experience troubleshooting test-taking skills and techniques, identifying areas for improvement, lots of practice materials, and proven score increases.
ACT Science

ACT Science

I've received corporate training in teaching ACT materials and have been tutoring ACT Science for several years.
Anthropology

Anthropology

I have a bachelor's in Anthropology, but my MSc field of Primatology is also quite relevant. Primatology groups are not only often located in Anthropology departments for Biological Anthropology purposes, but conservation of primates is often approached using anthropological methods, too. Therefore, I have the necessary expertise to teach most Anthropology courses.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I teach elementary math at a tutoring company.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I have tutored essay construction for several years at two different private tutoring companies. I also have extensive experience writing papers for my master's where I developed valuable essay writing skills. I have previously taught students how to compile sources, information, and evidence in an organized, coherent way to produce top quality pieces of writing.
Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

I have been trained by a private tutoring company as an executive function coach. Executive function coaching can be used to get ahead of issues or work backwards once a student develops executive dysfunction issues. Either way, I specialize in academic executive function coaching and have many tools, skills, and strategies in my back pocket to teach students whether they are trying to get ahead or raise their current grades.
Proofreading

I've been proofreading for English, Language, Literature, and AP Seminar classes for around 9 months. I'm also experienced in proofreading scientific essays, papers, and proposals.

Vocabulary

Vocabulary

I tutor at a k-12 tutoring center. While I don't often have classes devoted strictly to vocabulary, vocabulary practice is mixed into all of my English/Literature classes. When a student does need strict vocabulary practice, I typically do lots of quizzes and have my students use the words in sentences. I also teach study tricks to remember words and help students break down prefixes and suffixes to gain better understanding.

Thank you so much, Melissa! I am so glad I'm able to help and look forward to more and more improvement in his scores.

Very organized and thorough tutor

Amy has been great with my daughter. She’s helping her prepare for the English portion of the SAT. She comes to ever lesson very well prepared and spends time reviewing with my daughter and going over things she will see on the test. I can’t wait to see the difference in her scores!
