“Dear Amy. It was our pleasure having you as our daughter’s tutor. She highly speaks of you and told us you were the only one so far to be able to explain ‘math’ to her. She appreciated your calm, correct but gentle way of teaching and will definitely succeed in her upcoming exam. She couldn’t have done it without your professional assistance and guidance. Thank you on behalf of Camille and the whole family. Kind regards” - Mrs Meus
“Amy has the patience of a saint! She is very observant and tailors her tutoring style to the individual. She helped me prepare for my GMAT exam and was a vital part of my success. I cannot thank her enough.” - Tara
“I hired Amy as a tutor with the purpose of practicing and learning math as an adult in order to sit a test I was very nervous about. I didn't have confidence in my skills, and with Amy's help, within one week I knew my strengths, learned so much from her, and basically overcame my fears. I owe a lot to Amy for her efforts and motivation to sit my test, and in fact passed it too so that I can pursue my dreams. I would recommend Amy highly. She is patient, and will work through problems step by step. One week with Amy is all it took to bring me out of my shell. And the sessions are highly enjoyable!” - Ling
“Fantastic help 🙂 really lovely tutor and also very patient. She explained everything really clearly and improved my maths a lot! She managed to help me achieve my goal in understanding merit and excellence and she’s made me feel a lot more confident in statistics. I highly recommend her :)” - Sophia
“Hi, Amy. Thank you so much for your help with my statistics paper. With your help, I went into the exam on a B and finished with an overall grade of A-. I could not be happier. You know the subject well, and I found your calmness, patience and ability to break the subject down into parts so helpful. You taught me how to interpret the questions which without doubt was one of, if not ‘the’ major contributor to passing the exam so well. This coming semester I will be mentoring other commerce students and I will recommend your tuition services to any student I find is struggling with the statistics component. I wish you all the best."
