I spent 8 years teaching K-2 in Michigan public schools. Now I teach through Outschool, as well as private tutoring. My current focus is K-2 Reading and Math. Outschool Profile Link: https://outschool.com/teachers/Amanda-Olson

Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire - Yeats I would describe my style as hands on, fun and interactive. I try to differentiate as much of my day as possible. I believe it's important for students to learn HOW to learn in whole group instruction, but I also think that each child deserves a good chance to learn in the way the learn best!

Yet to be added

All through my own education, I knew I wanted to be an Elementary School Teacher! I started out very young, "teaching" my poor younger brother all sorts of important things! After graduation from high school I attended Albion College in Albion, MI. There I studied Elementary Education and Spanish Language. I was lucky enough to study abroad in Spain for a semester and was even able to observe at a Spanish school! I have a Master's degree from Madonna University in Teaching Literacy. I am also certified as a Reading Specialist.

I know they always say, "don't recreate the wheel" but I LOVE to make my own activities and handouts for students! Please leave your love, ideas, and suggestions in the comments section!
