Andrea is a book lover and grammar enthusiast. After graduating from college, where she double majored in Theatre and English, Andrea volunteered as a writer on board a hospital ship in West Africa. There, she built relationships with both young and adult patients, and wrote their stories of transformation.

In 2020, the pandemic brought Andrea back home to the Bay Area and it wasn’t long before she embarked on her next adventure: working at a K-8 private school in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. She spent her first year providing academic and behavior support to the students and teachers. In her second year, she transitioned to the administration team and ran school operations.

Hello, my name is Aniset Idriss! I will be a freshman this fall at Princeton University. My academic achievements are listed below, but I believe what I bring most to the table is my love for kids. As an elder cousin and sibling, a babysitter of eight years, and a coach for an 8th grade rowing program, I have applicable experience working with instructing and leading young students. Teaching and coaching are my biggest post-collegiate dreams.
At Princeton, I will be pursuing a degree in Anthropology and minoring in Creative Writing. Throughout my high school career in Washington DC, I wrote 5, 300+ page novels, earned a 1430 on my SATs, excelled with straight As in all of my courses, and received a 5 on the AP English Language exam (I also took AP English Literature, and received an A in the course, however, my test scores are not out yet). Between my writing achievements and my passion for working with kids, coaching your children would be my pleasure!

Amy Chamberlain

Service: Jump Private Coaching - Master Teacher

Hello, I'm Amy Chamberlain and my favorite part of teaching is helping kids gain confidence in themselves so they can succeed.
How? By making learning and developing necessary skills FUN and ENGAGING rather than frustrating and a fight with students.
My secret recipe for success is using topics that my students are already passionate about to get them invested in working on areas that need improvement. Whether it be in their writing, organizational skills, reading, public speaking, or critical thinking, when the exercises are centered around something they care about, they are willing to dive in and the path to improvement has already begun. Why shouldn't learning be fun?

Professional Background: I graduated from USF with an MEd in 2021. I have extensive experience as an educator and private instructor in both primary and secondary education. I also hold a graduate degree in education administration. My other specialties are writing, reading, and language arts.
