I’m a sophomore at Amherst College, where I’m majoring in Mathematics, Education, and Psychology. I’m passionate about teaching and love helping students discover confidence and excitement in learning. I’ve worked with students of all ages and backgrounds. In high school, I volunteered with Infinity Squad, mentoring elementary school students in math. At Amherst, I serve as a Teaching Assistant for both an introductory statistics course and a BC Calculus class, where I lead review sessions, answer homework questions, and meet one-on-one with students who want extra support. I tutor Mathematics through Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra, English, History, Psychology, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, PSAT, SAT (I scored 1530 with 790 on Math and 740 on Reading & Writing), ACT (I had a 35), AP exam prep, Preparation, Fencing, Drawing, Painting, Theater, Origami. My AP scores were Art History (5), Biology (5), Calculus BC (5), Chemistry (5), English Literature (5), English Language (5), European History (5), Physics 1 (4), Psychology (5), Spanish Language (3), U.S. History (5), World History (5). Outside the classroom, I’m the president of the Amherst College Fencing Club, where I coach and mentor new fencers, and I love tutoring young fencers. I also enjoy sharing my love of the arts through tutoring in drawing, painting, theater, and origami. Whether I’m helping a student tackle calculus problems or refine an essay, my goal is always to make learning engaging, approachable, and rewarding.
Angel works with students from the following schools:
Angel offers in-person tutoring on or near the Amherst College campus for families across Amherst Massachusetts, Hadley Massachusetts, South Hadley Massachusetts, Pelham Massachusetts, Sunderland Massachusetts, Leverett Massachusetts, Hampshire County Massachusetts, Franklin County Massachusetts.
If you have a specific tutor in mind, you're welcome to request them directly — we'll confirm whether they're available and the right fit for your student. Otherwise, Ryan writes a personal email to understand your student's needs, learning style, and goals — then handpicks a tutor from the roster. You're not filling out a form and getting assigned randomly. If the first tutor isn't the right fit after the first session, we'll find you a better match at no extra charge.
Yes. Many families start with a single session to see how the tutor and student connect before committing to a regular schedule. There's no pressure to book in advance — reach out and we'll set something up.
Yes. Many of our tutors are strong across several subjects, and sessions can cover more than one if that's what the student needs that week. Flexibility is built into how we work.
Most of our tutors continue working through breaks, either online or in-person at the college if the tutors remain on campus during that vacation. We'll let you know in advance if a tutor has a gap in availability and arrange coverage with one of our other tutors — in-person or online — in the required subject.
Occasionally, if the student lives very close to the tutor's campus. Most sessions take place on or near the college campus or online. This keeps sessions in an academically focused environment — which tends to produce better results.
The families who see the biggest results are the ones who commit to a regular cadence — typically once, twice, or three times a week. One-on-one tutoring with a student from an elite college, who genuinely understands the material, is a fundamentally different experience from a tutoring center or an app. Most of our clients stay with us for multiple semesters.

That depends on where your student is starting and how consistently they show up. Angel will identify the specific gaps, focus sessions on them, and adjust as the student progresses. Families who stick to a weekly schedule typically see meaningful progress within four to six weeks.
