Introduction
I graduated from St. Mary's College of California with a BA in Performing Arts in 2015, and during my studies, I fell in love with mathematics and moved into private tutoring, online and in person, and substitute teaching in pre algebra, algebra 1 & 2, geometry, chemistry and essay writing. I have over 20 years of experience as a dance educator and am very good at breaking down systems to make complex problems user-friendly. I am also a Certified Life Coach. My experience in education has taught me that students don’t necessarily fail because they are not capable but because they are frustrated and have low math esteem. They just need the math problem explained in a way that they can understand, that is where I excel in that I am a creative thinker. During the session we review math concepts to improve each student's logical thinking, course understanding, and test performance. I customize my tutoring sessions to each student’s personality, homework, and textbook, offering examples of correct and incorrect solutions to help them approach problems. A recurring theme I see in students is a lack of understanding of the fundamentals such as graphing, solving equations, working with negative numbers, exponents, and fractions. We clarify and strengthen those fundamentals so they can build their skill and confidence. I have a unique perspective having struggled with mathematics myself as a young student and then many years later excelling in it as an adult. Having this experience allows me to find ways to help a student bridge the gap from confusion and frustration to certainty and confidence. I look forward to meeting you and your child and building their math confidence so they can excel now and in the future. Online tutoring is available at $50.00 - 70 per hour. In-person tutoring is $60-$80 per hour based on the subject. 10% off of two and three month prepaid packages.

Amy is always on time, she's low key but gets right to work tutoring our high school freshman daughter in math. Our daughter has responded very well to Amy, and I even sometimes hear a little bit of laughter while they're working. We are very very pleased with Amy and consider her "a find."

Details: High school • Algebra • Geometry • 14 - 17 years old • Improve grades at school • Once a week • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting) • The math tutor travels to me • I travel to the math tutor

Having been out of school and needing to pass the CBEST, I needed to go back and relearn the math concepts in the test so I called Amy Schadt to tutor me through the Math section, something I was totally terrified to do. I’m so pleased, Amy helped me so much. She was conscientious, patient, knowledgeable…and helped me find the simplest way to understand the basics and how to think in "math". My discovery while working with her was that even though I was in school for so many years, I never really learned many of the basics. She helped me through the confusion and terror. Thanks so much Amy for a job well done. Joanne

Amy was AWESOME!!! She was able to help my Freshman bring up her grade in less than 2 weeks time. She was patient and worked well with my daughter. She took her time and stayed longer than she had to. My daughter stated "she is soooo much better at teaching me than my regular math teacher". We are so happy with her and will continue to use her in the future. Thanks Amy!!!!

Amy is exactly what my son needed. Kind, patient, and most of all knowledgeable. She comes prepared with his exact lessons, and gives him all the time he needs. Most importantly, she has a sense of humor and joyful attitude which really connects with my son, makes him more eager to learn, and spend the time on his studies. Amy has been a gift for a boy who came kicking and screaming to the whole idea of needing help, and watching her pull a joy for math out of him has been a real pleasure for me, as well. If all you're looking for is a bottom line: His grades have improved, his test and quiz scores have risen consistently, and his pride is evident. It's made Amy one of the best decisions I ever could have made for my son.
