About Me
My name is Amanda, and I am a tutor with over ten years of personal and professional experience. I love tutoring because it allows me to work one-on-one with a student at their pace. My favorite moments are the times when something that has been confusing finally makes sense, and I’ve able to help bring about that moment of clarity. In my downtime, my hobbies include reading, creative writing, video games, comic books, and cross stitch embroidery.

Tutoring Experience
I have been w0rking as a private tutoring since 2019. Before that, I worked at my university’s writing center as a tutor. I also frequently assist my younger brother, who is still in high school, with his homework and provide editing services for friends and family who are pursuing degrees at different levels of university.
Philanthropy / Volunteering Experience
I completed over 200 hours of community service during high school. This primarily came from helping one of the local churches host a free meal to the homeless and low income residents of our city once a week (no church attendance or religious belief required). Other hours were spent at the library, shelving books and contributing to the children’s summer reading program.

She is not only highly talented and knowledgeable in her field, but also deeply caring and professional in her approach. Her dedication and expertise have brought out the best in my children, helping them gain confidence, improve academically, and develop a genuine interest in learning.
Amanda goes above and beyond to ensure each lesson is engaging, effective, and tailored to my children’s unique needs. She has a natural ability to connect with students, making them feel comfortable while motivating them to do their very best. Her patience, encouragement, and consistent support have truly transformed the way my children view learning.
I am beyond grateful for Amanda’s hard work and commitment. She is not only a tutor but also a mentor who genuinely cares about her students’ success. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a professional, skilled, and compassionate tutor who can truly make a positive impact.
