I've been tutoring for more than 20 years with students as young as 4 all the way through college including adults. I have tutored in a variety of subjects and specialize in math and science, including advanced math and science. I believe that it is important to understand the process to get the right answer (so that a student can do it independently later) compared to just getting the right answer. Learning the study skills is part of what I try to include in my tutoring. I also try to relate subjects to a student's interests and the real world. I often find that it makes it more exciting and motivating to learn the subject. I prefer to build relationships with both the child and parents, but I am available for both long-term tutoring as well as tutoring for specific projects. I offer in person as well as virtual tutoring.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Amy as a math tutor for our daughter. Amy is not only a true expert in math, but she also has a remarkable gift for teaching in a way that makes even complex topics accessible and engaging for kids. She has taken the frustration out of learning math—our daughter actually looks forward to her sessions with Amy! Amy has created such a positive and effective learning dynamic that our daughter now takes the initiative to schedule sessions whenever she needs help, whether it’s homework, test prep, or reviewing difficult concepts. The process is effortless on our end—we simply text Amy pictures of the materials, and she takes it from there. Their sessions are completely self-sufficient, which has been a huge relief for us as busy parents. Amy is consistently responsive, flexible with scheduling, and thoughtful in her communication. She not only keeps us updated on academic progress, but also shares helpful insights into our daughter’s mindset and emotional responses to the material. She’s a true problem-solver and partner in our daughter’s education. We recommend Amy without hesitation. She’s a rare find and has made a meaningful difference in both our daughter’s confidence and performance in advanced math.
