Amy

I'm a certified educator with over a decade of tutoring experience with elementary through college Math & ELA. I'm confident in my ability to help you on your learning journey! Previously, I worked as Site Supervisor of a K-12 learning center right outside of New York City. My specialties are math, reading, writing, and test prep -- and making learning fun!

Tutoring Style

"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts." - Maria Montessori

I see myself as more of a coach or guide, helping students navigate the twisty paths of understanding. Along the way, I equip them with a full toolbox of strategies, skills, and confidence -- everything they need to tackle challenges, solve problems, and keep moving forward.

Success Story

I’ve worked with the children of many first-generation immigrants who often didn’t speak English at home. As a result, my students—one of whom I worked with for five consecutive years—often struggled with the Writing and Language section of the SAT. After many hours of reinforcing grammar rules, my student was thrilled to report that she earned a perfect score. That said, the real reward was seeing her beam with pride.

Hobbies & Interests

When I'm not walking my dog Winston, I like...making messes. In the garden, in the kitchen, in the craft room; I don't discriminate!
