About Amara

Amara taught high school algebra before she opened her book for private students. She still keeps the same rule: nobody leaves a lesson with a trick they cannot explain. Families come to her when the homework looks finished and the tests do not match.

MathematicsTest preparation

How a lesson goes

  1. Diagnose with one spoken problem, not a forty-question packet

  2. One new idea a lesson, practiced until it shows up in a new problem

  3. A short note home after every session, naming what changed
