About Amanda

Bio

I’m Amanda. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Special Education (general and adapted curriculum). Throughout my 18 years of teaching, I have taught in every grade level ranging from Preschool through high school. Throughout my teaching tenure, I have worked with students from various backgrounds who all share the same passion of wanting to learn. I discovered early on that learning can occur when the correct supports are in place. I am the teacher who believes all students can learn.

I’m Amanda. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Special Education (general and adapted curriculum). Throughout my 18 years of teaching, I have taught in every grade level ranging from Preschool through high school. Throughout my teaching tenure, I have worked with students from various backgrounds who all share the same passion of wanting to learn. I discovered early on that learning can occur when the correct supports are in place. I am the teacher who believes all students can learn.

In addition to my experience in teaching students face-to-face, I also have been tutoring students in elementary, middle, high school, and college online for over 10 years. The students who I tutor online are the ones who need one-on-one specialized content specific instruction. Presenting content in a multi sensory way allows the student to grasp the concept and for real learning to take place. I believe and know that one model does not fit all. I utilize a variety of strategies (i.e. goal setting, lesson structure, explicit teaching, collaborative learning, questioning, feedback) to ensure students understand the concepts.

I work with students with and without disabilities. Throughout the last 17 years, I have had experience working with students with Autism, Specific Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, Orthopedic Impairments (I.e. Cerebral Palsy, TBI), Visual Impairments, Hearing Impairments, Developmental Delayed, Deaf-blindness, Deafness, and other health impairments (i.e. ADD/ADHD, Diabetes, anxiety). In addition, I am knowledgeable about AAC devices and working with students who are non-verbal. I believe that all students can learn with the right supports and guidance.

Knowledgeable, Patient, Dedicated Tutor.

Amanda is a great teacher, she is smart and has good teaching skills. My daughter likes her teaching approach. She updates and follows up with me after each class. She is always ready to teach. I hired two teachers before Amanda but they were no good teachers. I am glad, I hired Amanda.
