Amanda
Certified Tutor
When I was a child, I needed a tutor. I was fortunate enough to get one, and I'm standing on the shoulders of a giant. I have a Master's degree in education from Lynchburg College, and tutoring experience that dates back to 1995.
I've tutored Spanish, history, science, math, and English (lots of English! Dyslexia and other learning disorders are my specialty). I can't really say that I have a "favorite" subject. If I had to pick, I'd have to say a subject I'm not very familiar with - it's an excuse to learn something new!
I prefer tutoring to teaching primarily because I can tailor the lessons to the individual student. One-on-one settings mean I don't have to divide my attention between students, which I love because every student deserves undivided attention.
When I'm not tutoring, I'm writing, drawing, sailing, or singing. I also have a unabashed love of pop-culture pirates and Dungeons and Dragons.
