I love algebra! I explain its concepts in an easy-to-understand way that will really sink in. So many students have the ability to succeed in this subject; they just need the right tools and help to get there. I have helped many students succeed in their algebra classes, going from struggling to thriving.

I have an excellent track record of helping kids get up to speed and understand difficult concepts in math. I am patient and encouraging, but I also keep students on track and focused. Whether your child needs some extra help catching up or wants to move ahead of their peers, I can help!

Fantastic Teacher!

Amanda was extremely kind and knowledgeable in Japanese. Our son left his lesson with a new joy and enthusiasm for Japanese. Our son is so excited to see Amanda again.

Excellent tutoring experience

Amanda tutored my 14 year old daughter in Algebra I the summer before she entered high school. Amanda is an excellent tutor who was prompt, had great communications skills, and extensive knowledge. My daughter quickly felt at ease with Amanda and said, "She is the best tutor I have ever seen! I love her!" Most importantly, my daughter feels confident in her algebra skills as she enters high school for the first time. We would hire Amanda again in a heartbeat to help our kids in any subject they were having difficulty with. She is a gifted tutor.

She's super awesome!

Even though she is the only tutor my daughter has had, she is undoubtedly the best! Amanda is very patient as well as being very clear in her teaching. She is both educational in the way you need but she also is very fun and I often hear the two girls laughing at silly math or just Amanda's humorous wit. Furthermore, Amanda is very knowledgeable about all things math and can always explain why something works the way it works which adds depth to the understanding she is bringing to the student. My daughter's grade was raised from a C- at the end of third quarter to a B at the end of fourth quarter. After two sessions she retook a test she had failed and on her second attempt she only missed one problem. Amanda truly is a miracle worker and to quote her whenever my daughter does something right, she is "Super awesome"! We love Amanda and highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Superb

Amanda is very patient and explains clearly for easy and better understanding of the concept. My boys had FUN with her session. They are looking forward to seeing her again. I am so glad I found her instead of going to a tutorial service run by a big corporation.
