I’m Amy, a certified English teacher committed to helping students build confidence and achieve their goals.
I earned my Associate in Graphic Communications and Printing Technology (2021) and my Bachelor’s in English (2022), from Millersville University. I completed a post-baccalaureate certification program at Immaculata University (4.0 GPA), earning Level I Instructional Certification in Secondary English. I passed the PRAXIS English Content exam (176) and Basic Skills Math (196). I’m currently pursuing master’s degrees in Education (Immaculata University, 4.0 GPA) and English (West Chester University, 3.78 GPA). I have been inducted into multiple academic honor societies.
Since 2022, I have gained diverse teaching and tutoring experience. As a Paraprofessional, I worked 1-on-1 with high school students across subject areas. At Sylvan Learning Center, I provided individualized and small-group instruction (ages 5–15) in reading, writing, fluency, math, study skills, homework support, and test preparation, strengthening my ability to differentiate instruction.
As a Day-to-Day and Building Substitute, I led small groups and full classrooms across subjects. As a Long-Term 12th Grade English Teacher, I taught five blocked classes over multiple months where I planned lessons, managed pacing, identified reteaching needs, and developed assessments. During student teaching, I instructed three blocked 7th-grade ELA classes, designing differentiated lessons for students reading from 2nd-12th-grade levels.
My approach begins with identifying strengths and growth areas. I use scaffolding to build mastery and confidence through structured practice, while integrating organization and study skills to foster independence. Although certified in English, I also support other subjects and have a strong interest in history and social sciences.
I am passionate about creating a supportive, structured environment where students feel comfortable taking academic risks and growing. I look forward to partnering with you to achieve y

Approved Subjects

Photography

Photography

Through my schooling and personal interest, I have become proficient in the use of DSLR cameras. I demonstrate a strong understanding of manual camera settings, including aperture, shutter speeds, and ISO, to capture high-quality images in varying lighting conditions. My experience includes high attention to framing, depth of field, and creative use of angles and perspectives to capture and create interesting and desired shots. Additionally, I have experience with unique photography types such as Panorama and Infrared photography, as well as experience in post-processing using programs such as Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and Illustrator to enhance, refine, and artistically manipulate photographs. I have experience in different photography styles, including Portrait, landscape, event, and Product Photography.
