About Amanda

My name is Amanda and I am a middle school science teacher at Georgetown Day School in Washington, D. C. I currently teach 7th grade life science and 8th grade life science and am on maternity leave this school year after having a baby boy in August. Previously, I taught high school Biology. I also have experience tutoring pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry to middle and high school students. I work with students on organization, study skills, and test taking strategies. I also have experience tutoring students with developmental disabilities. I think it is crucial for students to develop a positive relationship with material in school as well as with their teachers. I encourage my students to be advocates for themselves both in and outside of the classroom.
