TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
In my instruction, I weave together conceptual understanding, analytical reasoning, and critical thinking to build confident, independent problem-solvers. I guide students beyond rote procedures, helping them break down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps and emphasizing active engagement with the material. My goal is for students to leave each session not only understanding what to do, but knowing why—and feeling confident applying the skills they have cultivated on their own.

Amal is a gem- knowledgeable and able to teach effectively

We feel so fortunate to have found Amal! She tutors my 11th grader in pre-calculus. Amal always finds different ways to explain difficult concepts in a manner that my daughter understands, and confirms understanding before moving on. She is very knowledgeable, patient, flexible and cares about her students. She is also a great communicator and follows through on all details. I have already recommended her to a good friend. Thank you Amal!

Excellent communicator, thorough, and beyond knowledgeable.

Our high school senior needed to help with a physics final, and Amal has done an amazing job preparing him so far. He was happy with her ability to pinpoint what needed to be worked on, and she also provided extra work to help prepare in between sessions. Highly recommended.

Wonderful tutor

Went above and beyond to help my daughter prepare for her Physics test. She was able to explain things to my daughter in a way to help her better understand. She looks forward to working with Amal again.

Outstanding Tutor – Highly Recommended!

Amal K. has been an incredible tutor for my son, who was struggling with his Calculus 2 college course. From the very first session, Amal demonstrated not only her deep knowledge of the subject but also her ability to assess my son's strengths and areas for improvement. She quickly identified where he needed help and reteached challenging concepts in a way that made them much easier to understand. Thanks to her patient and caring approach, my son has gained back his confidence and is much more motivated to continue working through the course. We are so grateful for Amal's support and plan to continue working with her throughout the quarter. I highly recommend Amal to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective tutor!

Clear, focused, knowledgeable, kind tutor

Amal is terrific - reliable, easily understood, engaging, efficient. She helped my 9th grader with his geometry homework and with studying for a test. He felt very confident with the material after working with her. She is a very personable, professional tutor - I highly recommend her for any math needs!

Johanna, 5 lessons with Amal

Excellent

I didn't think I'd ever find someone that would have the ability and the patience to effectively help me understand Math again. Her kindness matches her intelligence. Which explains her choice of study. If there were a few more Amal's out there, I'm sure we would cure cancer, much much sooner.

Matthew, 1 lesson with Amal

So happy we found her!

I don't know where to begin... Amal goes above and beyond in her tutoring method. She is confident, kind, patient and also very good at identifying where my daughter is having issues with in the subject... And then she thoroughly tackles it until my daughter is confident enough in understanding it. We are so blessed to have her on our side. My daughter keeps showing improvement in understanding the materials more clearly. For that, we are so very thankful!! Her grade is going up!

Alvajean, 37 lessons with Amal

One of the best tutors I have ever had!!

She always comes on time, and she is a friendly considerate person. She makes math easier for me. I really recommend anybody who has difficulty in math or in any subject to ask for tutor Amal. You won't regret it.
