Hello! I have a major in Biology/minor in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee (2003, B.S.), a teaching certification in Biology, Chemistry, and Broad field science and a Masters of Science degree in Curriculum and Instruction (2007, M.S.). My doctoral degree in Curriculum and Instruction/minor in Biochemistry was completed in 2014 with an emphasis on science teacher professional development and culturally responsive practices.

My passion lies science education. Having taught AP Biology since 2006, and Biology/Honors Biology since 2005, I truly enjoy working with students. My student pass rate for the AP Biology exam is high, with an average of 96%. Whether by exploring and/or creating a model, designing a lab, or participating in a kinesthetic activity, I plan lessons that help kids to grasp ideas.

Personally, I have three young children, and I understand the importance of balancing home and school/work life. As a life long learner, I enjoy taking courses over summer that advance my own understanding of the field of Biology and I make sure to enroll my children in programs that will enrich their understanding of the world around them.

Please let me know if I can help you/your child navigate complex biological processes and/or pass the AP Biology exam!

Reviews

Very knowledgeable and helpful

I had an AP Biology test the next day and she helped me review concepts and make me feel more confident about the material. She also had a lot of extra materials like worksheets and prior AP tests to have me look at. She tried to cover as many topics as possible without rushing and let me ask questions. I would recommend!

Helpful and knowledgeable

Amy worked well with my son and we plan to continue AP Bio prep with her. She was able to assess his knowledge thus far and provide him with tools and sketched out how to study for the test in May. It was super helpful! Thanks so much.

Monisha, 3 lessons with Amy

A big help

Amy has been very patient and helpful for my son. We look forward to continue working with her. She is very knowledgeable about the subject matter and involves the student.

Extremely knowledgeable, patient and thorough

Amy was very thorough with her explanations going step by step on difficult concepts. This is the difference when you get an ‘instructor‘ as a tutor because they understand how to best teach to students. Thank you, Amy!
