About Me

I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a Civil Engineering degree. I worked as a CVE for 5 years and decided to change careers and become a Secondary Ed. math teacher. I earned my teaching certificate from Providence College and taught for 5 years. I also have my masters degree in Guidance Counseling. I have been a math tutor for over 10 years and am very excited to join Varsity Tutors! I tutor students in Algebra I, II, Geometry, and Precalculus. Tutoring allows me to do what I love while simultaneously helping students become successful confident math students. My teaching/tutoring style is flexible and unique to each student. I encourage students to think for themselves rather than give them the answers. It is important that students learn how to approach different problems using prior knowledge. I encourage them to do that while also giving them the math support they need before frustration sets in. Tutoring has been an extremely positive experience for me and I look forward to continuing that with Varsity Tutors!

Q&A with Amy

I believe in instilling a drive to motivate learners to succeed by getting them as involved in the work as possible. My style of teaching and tutoring is quite interactive, I ask a lot of questions and have students draw pictures, show work, provide explanations, and encourage them to ask questions as well. I set goals with my students in terms of grades, being more proactive, and HW, and I support and encourage them as they reach their goals.
