Hello! My name is Queen, and I'm a Math Specialist. Thank you for stopping by to view my profile.

Quick Education Summary:
I graduated magna cum laude from CCNY with a B.A. in Pure Mathematics. I then took some graduate courses at NYU (major: cybersecurity) before leaving to pursue teaching in disadvantaged public schools. This year (2023-2024) I'm working as an in-school math tutor at a high school. I'm also working towards becoming a fully qualified actuary. Wish me success! ☺️

Longer Teaching Summary:
Since 2014, I have been tutoring and coaching students on various math topics. I began with group tutoring at a community college, then ventured into private coaching as a math specialist. As a private math specialist, I have helped students ranging in age and abilities from fourth grade through college.

My style of teaching and tutoring is heavily Socratic, which empowers students to do a high ratio of the work necessary to solve problems. It entails asking students questions in a way that enables them to be an active participant in the learning process. I have personally found this method to be extremely powerful in getting students to reach higher levels of mastery and higher grades in school!

I have spent three years teaching high school math in classrooms. I've taught Geometry at an Uncommon high school, Geometry and Algebra 1 at a KIPP high school, Algebra 1 at a different charter high school, and Geometry and Algebra 2 at a magnet high school. I currently work as an in-school math tutor at a high school.

In addition, I worked as a teacher and private tutor at a tutoring center for three years. I typically lead the following courses: Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, SAT Math, and Precalculus.

I'm certified to teach math in the state of New Jersey via a 1900 Certificate of Eligibility and I am a certified IXL tutor.

Reach out to me with questions and when you're ready to book a lesson. Thanks again for stopping by!

Finite Math

Finite math is a lower-level math class that covers a range of topics, not including calculus. Some things that tend to be covered are logic, set theory, probability theory, matrices, and statistics. I have taken courses in each of these topics. In addition, I have coached students in all of these areas, so overall I am well-qualified to help students with finite math.

Knowledgeable and patient

Queen Amaya is amazing and can really break down problems and finds different ways to explain something in order for me to better understand it. She makes a great math coach and I'm so glad I found her!

Theresa, 7 lessons with Queen Amaya

Knowledgeable and very patient

Queen Amaya has been so great with my daughter. She knew to tackle other areas of math first which will then allow my daughter to understand math problems that are to come as she moves into her freshman year. She pushes my daughters limits and in return will give her the confidence to move forward.

Amazing

Queen Amaya was amazing with my daughter. My daughter has always struggled with math. She was patient and thorough with her explanations. Just to see relief on my daughter’s face is priceless. I will booking future sessions with her.

Awesome math tutor!!

My son had his first session with Queen Amaya last week and it was great!!! He really liked her and so did I. I like her method for teaching math, my son dosen't struggle too much in math but I think the sessions with Queen Amaya will help keep him on track as the lessons get a bit harder.

Greer, 3 lessons with Queen Amaya

She was sooo great

My 16 year old text me immediately after her 1st session with Queen Amaya and said "she was sooo great" & definitely wants to meet with her regularly.

GREAT COACH

Queen Amaya is the ideal math coach. She's patient and doesn't mind repeating herself. She's very intelligent and was able to answer all my math questions, even if off topic. She's very funny and made learning math fun which helped boost my confidence. I look forward to our next session.

Dedik , 1 lesson with Queen Amaya

Friendly, knowledgeable, and a patient tutor!

Queen Amaya is an extremely delightful person. She arrived on time prepared to work. In the one hour session, Queen Amaya identified several weakness and strengths through a Common Core assessment. She continued on to develop those weakness through the use of money manipulative and visual prompts. My son likes her and I will be hiring Queen Amaya for weekly sessions. We look forward in seeing Queen Amaya again!!
