"Hello! My name is Amanda and I’m a dedicated educator with over 10 years of experience teaching elementary school reading and writing. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Teaching from The College of New Jersey, along with certifications in English as a Second Language (ESL) and Orton Gillingham, a structured, multisensory approach to teaching reading.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of learners—helping struggling readers build confidence, guiding young writers to express themselves clearly, and supporting English Language Learners as they develop fluency and comprehension.

Whether your child needs help mastering phonics, organizing a written response, or improving reading comprehension, I tailor each session to meet their unique learning needs. My patient, encouraging style helps students feel safe taking academic risks and celebrates progress at every level.
