Personal Description:
My name is Amy, the founder of Work Smart Math and a seasoned private math tutor.
A bit about me. After graduating from high school in China over 20 years ago, I moved to New Zealand as an international student. While at university, I was offered my very first formal tutoring role to teach Statistics to third year engineering students. Over the years, I have taught in both public and private institutions.
Tutoring Experience:
I have over 13 years of experience tutoring people from all walks of life.
I can help you with the following:
- National Certificate of National Achievement (NCEA)
- International Baccalaureate (IB)
- Cambridge International Examination (CIE)
- Scholastic Admission Test (SAT)
- University papers
- Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
- Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
- Casual adult learning
Discounts are available for group sessions.

Tutoring Approach:
I enjoy passing on my knowledge and helping people see the beauty of math. To learn math the smart way is to really understand the subject instead of memorising everything. Let me be your math translator.
My training in counselling has shaped my student-centred approach through active listening and creative problem solving.
