Fosters critical thinking to build confidence for AP World History exam
Our 15 y.o. daughter enjoyed Amy's style right away. Amy demonstrated a knowledgeable command of the material and takes a wonderful teaching approach that fosters critical thinking skills. After her first video class with Amy, our daughter feels more confident to follow a plan to prepare for the AP World History exam.

Amazing teacher!
Ms. Amy definitely made me feel better about the APUSH exam. It was really helpful to go step-by-step through the process of planning DBQs, and learning important tips like sourcing. I learned how to better condense my ideas and organize efficiently. She’s also very easy to talk to and even helped me revise a DBQ multiple times after our session! She is such an amazing teacher and I am lucky to have her as my tutor. I highly recommend her!

Outstanding History Tutor
Amy is amazing teacher! She is extremely knowledgeable about APUSH and is passionate about helping my kid succeed! My kid was struggling with her DBQ essay for APUSH but she was extremely efficient and my kid understood so much better after her first lesson. She was able to explain and analyze my kid’s essay and even revised the material via email after the lesson to make sure my kid understood. Highly recommend Amy as a tutor. Thank you so much Amy!

AP World History
My 9th grader is in AP World History and has not made much head way in understanding enough to be prepared for the test in May. Her teacher is new and is not an effective teacher. Amy B. is excellent my daughter said she has learned more in an hour then she has all year. She is excited to continue her lessons until the big test. I would highly recommend her.

Awesome AP world history tutor!
Amy helped my daughter to be prepared for DBQ in AP world history exam. Even though my daughter got a good grade in her AP world history class, she was very worried and anxious about her capability in DBQ. However, just two sessions with Amy made my daughter become confident in her ability in DBQ and prepared for the exam. I highly recommend Amy as an AP world history tutor!

Friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful!
Amy helped my daughter come up with actionable and practical strategies for her AP World History exams. This helped make the body of information digestible. We will be using her again.
