Amanda has been tutoring my teenage daughter for the past few years. My daughter has been struggling with math since she fell behind during covid. Amanda helped her not only remediate some areas she was missing, but also helped her maintain progress in her current level school work. Amanda was always patient yet persistent in working with my daughter. She is now comfortable and even excelling at math as a freshman in high school.

About Amanda's Tutoring
I have tutored students in math for more than eight years now and am well-versed in subjects ranging from fractions to calculus, including preparing students for the math section of the ACT. My students have ranged in age from as young as seven to the mid-forties, and my goal is to help them increase their understanding as much as possible. Typically, when first meeting a student, I will give them general diagnostic questions to determine their strengths and weaknesses. From there, I develop lessons specifically designed to address their gaps in understanding. Students I have taught have dramatically improved their grades. I have had college students improve their test scores by more than 30 percentage points, high schoolers resurrect their entire transcript, and junior high and elementary school students grasp seemingly impossible concepts. Additionally, after working with me for several weeks, my students have consistently reported a jump of 3 or 4 points in their ACT scores. Though there are exceptions, I normally tutor one-on-one. Working individually provides increased focus both for myself and the student—particularly in comparison to larger tutoring companies where an instructor’s attention would be spread out. Besides focus, I’ve found that this setup also helps a student’s confidence when they aren’t worried about being judged by their classmates. Finally, I believe any student is capable of understanding and even enjoying math, and when hired, I take it upon myself to ensure that their self-esteem grows alongside their comfort with the subject material. Several of the students that I have helped had previously been led to believe that they were incapable or even stupid, and I feel that it is a significant part of my role to change that perception. By aiding one-on-one, I can help students identify what they are and are not understanding so they can both learn from their mistakes and recognize how much they already know. Often, some foundational concept like multiplication tables or fractions is not as well-understood as it could be, and that difficulty has hindered the student’s overall knowledge for years. Thus, strengthening fundamental areas can have massive downstream impacts and help a student improve significantly. I am confident in my ability to clarify math and make it enjoyable for even those students who have despaired at the topic. Moreover, I am passionate about helping them improve their confidence. If you are interested in hiring me, please reach out here, and we can discuss details. Thank you!
Reviews
Amanda has been so great for our daughter. She has only been working with her for a few months and her math scores at school have increased significantly. Amanda makes her feel very comfortable and excited to learn. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to help their child with math.
Amanda is an amazing tutor. She works with two of my kids (who are vastly different learners) effectively and efficiently. She keeps the one who needs it organized and on top of his work and then also is able to address both of their weak points in their different math classes. I highly recommend Amanda.
Amanda has been tutoring my child for a year. She is highly knowledgeable, reliable, and responsive whenever we need tutoring. She is an excellent tutor for teenagers. I highly recommend her.
Absolutely thrilled with Amanda as William’s math tutor! She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also super reliable and always on time. We really appreciate how flexible she is with scheduling and how she follows up to make sure everything sticks. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students’ success. Amanda has made a big difference for William, and we’ll definitely continue working with her. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a top-notch math tutor!
