Fun Facts

I love to travel! I have been to Canada, Mexico, Spain, Morocco, Italy, Greece and Turkey; Jamaica is next on my to-do list. I also enjoy cooking, and trying new and different kinds of food. The Food Network always seems to be on at my house! During high school, I discovered I had a passion for graphic design and taught myself Photoshop.

About Me

I'm Amanda, a former seven year resident of Boston and current resident of central Florida. In 2010, I graduated cum lade from Northeastern University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Criminal Justice. I currently work full-time as a microbiologist with a global medical device company. I am hoping to return to school in the near future to pursue a Master's and PhD.

During my junior and senior years in high school, I participated in a miami">tutoring club, focusing primarily on math. During college, I participated in the Big Sister program, mentoring and occasionally miami">tutoring a local elementary school girl for about three years. I also have additional experience through miami">tutoring friends and family in the areas of Biology, Math, Writing/Reading and Criminal Justice. After college, I began miami">tutoring with Frog.

I believe that learning should be fun and material should be relevant to the student. Something as simple as tailoring a math question to have a fun, age-appropriate theme can get students excited about and interested in their educations. I want to inspire others to be intellectually curious, open to learning new things, and to always ask questions to get a better understanding of themselves and the world.
