About Me

Hello, my name is Amy. I am a former elementary school teacher and I have been tutoring for the past year. I got my BA in Music Education from Seattle Pacific University and worked for 2 years in Highline School District. I am also pursuing my Masters of Divinity. I have focused on ELL/ESL tutoring, but I have tutored in a variety of subjects already. I love watching students improve on their subjects while working hard to achieve their academic goals. My teaching styles include: using games, using repetition, using step-by-step examples, and using visual examples. As a teacher, I am also able to adapt my teaching to the needs of each individual student as needed. Here is a little about me personally. I enjoy dancing, singing, music composition, hiking, working out and volunteering at church. I can't wait to start working with you soon!

Q&A with Amy

As a teacher, I believe teaching is not just about teaching a specific subject, but also helping a student grow as a person. Students should be taught how to apply their learning to the world around them and for what they hope to accomplish. Also, I believe a student who enjoys their learning will be able to learn more effectively. So, I believe a big part of a tutor's job is to help instill confidence in the student in the subject they may be struggling with.
