Hi, I'm an experienced private tutor with over 6 years of teaching experience specializing in SAT Reading, TOEFL, and Mandarin Chinese. I have worked with students of different ages and academic levels, including middle school/high school students preparing for standardized tests, as well as children and adults learning Mandarin for academic, professional, or personal goals.

My teaching experience is primarily in one-on-one online settings, allowing me to create personalized lesson plans based on each student’s strengths, weaknesses, learning style, and goals. For SAT Reading and TOEFL, I focus on reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, test-taking strategies, and developing efficient approaches to analyzing passages and answering questions. For Mandarin, I teach reading, writing, speaking, listening, pronunciation, grammar, and practical conversation.

My educational background and teaching experience have given me a strong foundation in language and academic tutoring. I create engaging, personalized lessons that help students build skills, confidence, and achieve their academic goals.

Great and encouraging teacher!

After first lesson with Amy, I felt more comfortable with pronunciation and making mistakes to aid in practice! I also left with clear notes about what we discussed and highlighted areas to practice to get better. She also shared several additional resources to aid in my own practice

Great tutor especially for kids

Amy is a great teacher. My 5 year old is engaged the whole hour, likes the learning games and looks forward to the next lesson with Amy. Amy is skilled, patient and understands working/ delivering lessons to a child's mind. Highly recommend. 10 stars!

Effective & Efficient Tutor!

Amy is an excellent tutor! My daughter struggled with understanding and memorizing the pronunciation of different tones in the Mandarin language. Amy did an outstanding job of explaining and helping my daughter understand where the differences were in tone, usage, and pronunciation. My daughter said Amy is skilled in teaching, inspirational, highly resourceful, easy to understand, and worked at a good pace with her.

She is amazing! She is very clear and concise with her teaching methods. She gets an understanding of what goals you are trying to meet and works with you to accomplish your goals. Her power points and games challenges are super helpful. It helps me remember better when I am put into critically thinking situations hints the games she provides. I can't say enough great things about her! If you want to learn get with Amy!
