Experience Summary
Hello! My name is Amanda and I'm an experienced science tutor. I have been tutoring college-aged learners since 2009 at Maria College, where I focus on anatomy & physiology, chemistry, and biology. I received my BS in biology from Siena in 2010, and went straight on to my MSEd in Adolescent Education from St. Rose, where I graduated in 2012. I am certified to teach General Science and Living Environment in grades 7-12. I also have expert knowledge of study skills and how to tailor tutoring to meet each individual student's needs.
Teaching Style
My style is very flexible. I understand that some students just need to hear another person tell them the information, while other students require an in-depth discovery of each concept. I can provide both and anything in between to match you or your child's individual learning needs. I am versed in the Cornell Method of note taking, and have many other "tips & tricks" that will place you or your child on the track to success in science.
My Hobbies
When I'm not working or tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my friends, reading, knitting, or catching up on my DVR shows.
