Bio

Hello parents and students!

I've been tutoring AP History, AP Psychology, and AP Human Geography since 2021, when I started working with The Princeton Review. I've also been tutoring independently on Wyzant for the past five years, helping students prepare for exams, improve class performance, and build confidence in these subjects.

Hello parents and students!

I've been tutoring AP History, AP Psychology, and AP Human Geography since 2021, when I started working with The Princeton Review. I've also been tutoring independently on Wyzant for the past five years, helping students prepare for exams, improve class performance, and build confidence in these subjects.

I have a B.A. in Anthropology and Environmental Studies, an M.S. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, and I'm currently working toward my Master of Public Health (MPH). I'm also someone who genuinely enjoys learning, so I've completed additional coursework and certificates in areas like archaeology, instructional design, environmental public health, and wetland science. Much of my research focuses on how the environment affects human health and communities.

My sessions are conversational rather than scripted. I explain concepts, ask questions throughout the lesson to make sure students are following along, and adjust my approach based on what they're struggling with. For students who plan to meet with me regularly, I like to start with a practice assessment so we can figure out what's already solid, what needs more attention, and how to use our time effectively.

A quick note about scheduling: because I'm currently in graduate school and also work on research projects, I ask that sessions be booked during my posted availability. Unfortunately, I'm usually not able to accommodate last-minute requests, but I'll always do my best to be as flexible as my schedule allows.

Approved Subjects

American History

American History

I have been tutoring AP US history, college US history, and K-12 US history for the last three years with The Princeton Review and my students' grades have improved by at least one letter in their classes. I have also helped my students to earn a 5 of the AP US history exam. I maintain high student ratings through TPR and pride myself on helping students to understand the interconnection of historical events.
Anthropology

Anthropology

I have a bachelor of arts in anthropology. I maintained a 3.9 GPA throughout my program duration. Courses included: Introduction to Anthropology, Anthropology in the Contemporary World, Ethics in Anthropology, Introduction to Cultural Anthropology, Gender and Kinship in Anthropology (listed as 'anthropology elective' on my transcripts). I currently tutor cultural anthropology at the high school and college level and have for 2 years.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I have five years of experience editing college admissions essays and other student writing for content, organization, clarity, grammar, tone, and overall effectiveness. I have provided substantive and sentence-level feedback that strengthened students' ideas while preserving their individual voice and authentic perspective. I also recently co-led a summer writing course for the New York Time's summer essay contest.
Psychology

Psychology

In 2021, I earned a Master of Science in Psychology with a concentration in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I have a total of 18 graduate-level credits in psychology and 6 undergraduate credits, including developmental psychology (lifespan development), ethics and multicultural issues in psychology, the psychology of leadership, principles of I/O psychology, I/O psychology practices in personnel and HR management, and consultation psychology.
United States History

United States History

I have five years of experience tutoring AP U.S. History and helping students prepare for the specific skills assessed on the AP exam. I help students move beyond memorizing facts by developing their ability to analyze primary and secondary sources, identify historical context, connect events across periods, and construct evidence-based arguments. I also work with students on DBQs, LEQs, SAQs, and multiple-choice questions, with an emphasis on understanding how to approach each question type strategically. My goal is to help students become more confident in both the content and analytical skills required for APUSH.
World History

World History

I have five years of experience tutoring AP World History: Modern and helping students develop the analytical skills needed to succeed on the AP exam. I focus on helping students understand major historical developments and global patterns rather than treating the course as a collection of isolated facts. Students learn to identify causation, comparison, continuity, and change over time, and connections between different regions and societies. I also provide support with DBQs, LEQs, SAQs, and multiple-choice questions, helping students apply these skills effectively to AP-style questions.

I like using both slides and a lecture in order to solidify my knowledge on history. The lectures are logically thought out and mostly thorough, which is great for just a preview. Definitely recommend Amanda for APUSH.
