Although I specialize in Math and Science, I can help with a variety of subjects as well as with study skills. I worked hard to earn myself a Chemistry degree on a full academic scholarship to college, and I can help you with all of your tutoring needs.

I am very positive and encouraging. My students appreciate how hardworking I am. They have told me that I have a gift for explaining difficult concepts, and that I will keep working patiently with them until they understand.

I look forward to working with you!

Amy is a brilliant tutor, she customizes her teaching for each student!

Amy in just one hour, taught me how to do math problems that a college professor has taught the class twice and another tutor, I spent an hour with, attempted to teach me. She is a skilled, knowledgeable teacher who understands what one is stumbling over and she tailors her teaching so one 'gets it' I highly recommend her!

Tutor responded:

Thank you, Kevin! You are an intelligent student and a good kid!

Very Thankful

Amy is a very accommodating and supportive tutor. She is excellent at breaking down equations to a point where you can understand them and gives you the push you need to feel confident in solving any equation when stuck. Definitely would recommend her lessons for students who need the extra help and a better understanding of class material!

Luke, 6 lessons with Amy

Math tutoring

Finished first session and Amy was pleasant and very informative and looking forward to more sessions. I’m excited to see what the rest of the sessions bring. What could’ve been a painful start turned out very good with Amy!!

Linda, 2 lessons with Amy

First Lesson

Amy was an enthusiastic and patient instructor. She throughly explained concepts and made sure the understanding was there. We look forward to continuing working with her.

Pamela, 7 lessons with Amy

CAST test

Amy was extremely patient, knowledgeable and understanding. Although I’m not proud of it I have dyslexia and dyscalculia. Amy worked with me showing me different steps to achieve the answer and how to work through mathematical problems I never thought I could do. If I could give more then 5 stars I would. I highly recommend Amy as a tutor.

Pamela, 7 lessons with Amy

knowledgeable and patient

We discussed lab safety practices. We discussed when to use splash goggles compared to regular goggles, and when to use to gloves; and how to prevent the workbench from becoming a danger due to having things on it that should no be., We discussed the appropriately use of pipettes, and transporting chemicals and microscopes and discussed how to properly use other lab equipment, which is frequently taken for granted by less experienced lab workers, and can cause injury etc.
