"Hello! My name is Amanda Jeane, and I specialize in helping students move from frustration to confident, successful learning. My professional background is rooted in impactful education and technology integration. I’ve worked as a classroom teacher for various grade levels in Eastern Pennsylvania, specializing in Lower School Science with a focus on environmental and sustainable education. I also taught core subjects like reading, writing, math, and science in tested public school grade levels. My classroom experience, including co-managing a makerspace (the iLab), means I excel at teaching hands-on problem-solving and practical application across STEAM fields. I am adept at creating curriculum that is not only rigorous but also deeply engaging and relevant to the student's world.

Beyond the classroom, I’ve held leadership roles, including providing professional development internationally for the Micro:Bit Educational Foundation and currently serving as a Director of Learning at an educational media company, CodeJoy. I train other educators and manage the development of new professional learning experiences, giving me a rare, high-level perspective on effective pedagogy. This background allows me to go far beyond re-explaining homework; I can quickly diagnose learning gaps and tailor a strategy that aligns with how your student best processes information. I’ve worked with students ranging from elementary school through adults in one-on-one coaching, small group instruction, and full classroom environments.

My tutoring approach is student-centric and rooted in making abstract ideas concrete. I focus on helping students see the “why” behind what they are learning, whether it’s a difficult math concept or a complex science experiment. Our sessions will be collaborative, encouraging, and goal-oriented. My ultimate goal is to build independent learners who possess the critical thinking and creative confidence to tackle any challenge. I look forward to connecting with you!" less...
