Great tutor

My daughter took few AP Human Geography lessons from Ms. Amanda. She really enjoyed and had shown improvement in very short period. We are looking forward to take more lessons in the future.

AP HUG

Amanda had an amazing understanding of the subject and gave my daughter wonderful strategies for when she is studying. They worked on studying for chapter tests in addition to the AP test itself. She helped her find a confidence she was lacking. I am sure she will work with Amanda again.

Amanda N. Rocks!

We feel lucky to have found such an amazing teacher! She has a gift for teaching and keeping social media obsessed teens engaged in the subject matter. She was always timely, organized and professional. She provided great tactics for test taking that can be applied elsewhere. She teaches the AP concepts and how they can used during the final exam. Many thanks!
