Amanda N. - Make Reading Click! Certified Teacher (birth-grade 6) with a MSEd in Literacy Offering One-on-one Support in Phonics, Fluency, Writing & Comprehension for Struggling Readers. 

Hi there! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I’m Amanda, and I’m passionate about helping children discover the joy and confidence that comes with reading and writing. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education, with a minor in Mathematics, and have had the privilege of working in a variety of educational settings, both rural and urban, across grades K–6. I’m currently in the final semester of my Master’s in Literacy Education, where through clinical experience I discovered my true passion: helping students build a strong foundation in literacy that will support their long-term academic success, especially those who need extra support in reading and writing. Most of my classroom experience is with children ages 4–7, but I’ve also worked extensively with students in grades K–6, providing one-on-one tutoring, assessing literacy and math skills, and designing and implementing targeted interventions. I have experience supporting children from diverse backgrounds, including those facing academic challenges, behavioral needs, and social-emotional difficulties. In addition to my classroom experience, I also have virtual clinical experience in designing and implementing personalized interventions for elementary students in phonics, fluency, word work, and writing. My teaching approach is personalized to the student's interests, rooted in empathy, and focused on building trust, confidence, and the specific skills each child needs to grow. I know that every child is different, and I truly believe in meeting your child where they are. Whether it’s through fun games, interactive activities, or using decodable texts, I strive to create a space where your child can build confidence, feel successful, and develop a lifelong love of learning. I take pride in providing a safe, respectful environment where your child can feel heard, understood, and encouraged to take risks in their learning. I look forward to being apart of your child's academic journey!
