MS, Psychology
Hi, I'm Amanda Purifoy! I have 17 years of teaching experience under my belt. I bring a wealth of knowledge and a passion for education to my role as a tutor. My journey in education began in Houston, TX, where I discovered my love for teaching and connecting with students. Eager to explore different cultures and teaching environments, I embarked on a journey overseas to China, Taiwan, and the UAE. These international experiences not only expanded my horizons but also deepened my understanding of diverse learning styles and cultural perspectives. In addition to teaching, I've also served as a school counselor, offering support and guidance to students facing various academic and personal challenges. My experience in counseling has equipped me with valuable insights into addressing the holistic needs of students and fostering their overall well-being. As a tutor, my mission is to empower students to reach their full potential, build confidence, and achieve academic success. Whether it's strengthening foundational skills, providing targeted intervention, or cultivating effective study habits, I'm dedicated to tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each student. Outside of tutoring, I love exploring new destinations, immersing myself in different cultures, and spending quality time with my family. I believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and I'm excited to embark on this journey with my students, inspiring them to embrace education and pursue their dreams.
