- Joanna, Manassas, VA on 3/6/17Amy has helped me multiple times over the last few weeks in advanced object-oriented programming. I have learned so much from every single lesson. She has walked me through many assignments and because of that, I have been able to pass every quiz/test with ease. I am a college senior and have never had any tutoring prior to this, but I am very pleased with her ability to help me understand. Her passion for the material is evident and she is willing to explain and demonstrate multiple ways to accomplish the task at hand. While nervous at first at the idea of online tutoring, she made the experience very easy and comfortable. When I started my Java class this semester, I had no idea how I would be able to pass. Now, I am looking at finishing with an A thanks to Amy's help. Please don't hesitate to schedule an appointment. Every minute of Amy's tutoring is valuable!

"Great with math"
- Liza, Albuquerque, NM on 1/30/15Amy is very responsive and accommodating. If you need tutoring on the fly, she's the one you need to call. I worked with Amy to help me for the Quant section of the GRE. I would recommend her if you are looking for a true understanding of math, not for learning the format/tips/tricks of the GRE -- her speciality is math, not GRE formats, which she communicated to me in our first meeting. She helped me improve my understanding of mathematical principles and pushed me to sharpen my multiplication skills. She is willing to find videos, exercises and extra resources to help you learn the concepts. Over the break, she even offered to tutor me via Skype or by sending her text pics of tough problems. Overall, she was great. She also tutors in programming, which I'm sure she is phenomenal at too.
"Great Tutor!"
- Kenly, Santa Fe, NM on 11/6/14Amy is one of the best tutors I have ever worked with. She is a great communicator and very reliable. I highly recommend as a tutor to anyone who needs one in her field of expertise.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam.
