Hello! I'm Amy - and creatively bridging the gap between knowledge and understanding is my specialty! I wholeheartedly believe that each student has a unique personality that lends itself to a particular method of learning. My experience in customizing curriculum to fit the needs of each individual student has demonstrated improved scores, increased confidence, and fulfilled academic goals! I am dedicated to my students and willing to answer additional questions, or "go the extra mile", in an effort to further student success .

I have experience teaching and tutoring elementary, middle, high school, and college aged students! I spent several years with middle and high school students in one-on-one settings to teach concepts in all subjects. I have tutored in student's homes and my own home and I am a community college adjunct professor and writing lab instructor.

History

American History,

American History

American History is foundational to the study of American political science and government, of which I hold a bachelor's degree. I also hold a master's degree in public policy, which is the study of how the ideas and decisions of men and women in positions of authority, throughout history and today, impact the behavior of individuals in society. My education and years of study and experience have resulted in a thorough knowledge and understanding of the events, peoples, and ideas that culminated to create the unique country that is America. My knowledge allows me to bring American History to life in classrooms, online, and in one-on-one situations and allows me to offer students the tools necessary to gain their own knowledge and understanding of American History.

Knowledgeable and Patient

Amy takes the time to explain the materials in details and goes the extra mile for her students. I have met with her multiple times to learn about policies. It has been a pleasure to work with Amy

Neeraj, 3 lessons with Amy

Very knowledgeable

Amy did a great job helping my 8th grade son prepare for a big history test. He felt a lot more confident about the material after working with her. We will be using her again!

Josie, 1 lesson with Amy

Knowledgeable and so patient!!

I'm not good at giving reviews but I think Amy deserves a gold medal for her work with my daughter. Amy started tutoring my daughter a few months ago. My daughter was in need of help with Social Studies and English. Right away I saw improvements! My daughter is not easy and I'm amazed at how patient and knowledgeable Amy is! She gives my daughter all the tools and assistance she needs to succeed. She goes above and beyond to make sure my daughter is understanding assignments and knows how to complete them. I can't recommend her enough!

Luciene, 30 lessons with Amy

Patient and well organized

Amy really took her time to make sure not only make sure my sons essay was proficient, but to make sure he really understood the content and was accountable for his own work.

Alanna, 4 lessons with Amy

Skilled and patient teacher.

Amy is very positive teacher who introduces ideas in a pleasant and effective way. She engages our daughter patiently and pushes her forward in a way that she easily accepts.

Christine, 12 lessons with Amy

Caring and kind English/Social studies teacher

Amy has gone above and beyond just tutoring my 12-year-old ADHD son. She is creating his curriculum because his online academics do not provide enough education. She has so many years experience as a true teacher and is very patient, kind and encouraging and my son is really having a great time with her!
