I'm Amanda! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy. At my university, philosophy classes emphasized reading comprehension of primary and secondary sources as expressed via analytic, synthetic, and creative essays and papers. All that practice came in handy when I took the GRE, earning a perfect score on the Verbal section and a 5.5 on the essay-writing portion.

I'm Amanda! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy. At my university, philosophy classes emphasized reading comprehension of primary and secondary sources as expressed via analytic, synthetic, and creative essays and papers. All that practice came in handy when I took the GRE, earning a perfect score on the Verbal section and a 5.5 on the essay-writing portion.
My graduate degree is in Instructional Design. In graduate school I learned best methods for teaching both children and adults with a focus on student engagement and project-based learning. I taught several small-group classes of adults during this period.
I have several years' worth of experience in both teaching and tutoring. I love helping people who have been struggling come to that "aha!" moment of comprehension, and I adore finding new and creative connections that help turn a vexing problem into a moment of mastery.
