About
Hello! My name is Amanda Pettiford.
I have been a certified ESL teacher for 10 years, and have dedicated my career to fostering a love for learning and helping students achieve their academic goals.
I hold a TESOL certification from Arizona University where I specialized in English as a Second Language Education. My journey in education began as a online tutor, and has since evolved into a fulfilling career as a certified teacher of English as a Second Language (ESL) at a college in Massachusetts. .
Teaching is more than a job for me; it is a passion. I am deeply committed to making a positive impact on my students' lives, helping them discover their potential, and guiding them towards academic and personal success. The joy of witnessing a student's moment of understanding or their excitement about learning something new is truly unparalleled.
My approach to education is personalized and student-centered. I believe that every student is unique and deserves tailored instruction that caters to their individual needs and learning styles. My dedication to creating an inclusive, supportive, and engaging learning environment sets my teaching apart. I prioritize building strong relationships with my students, understanding their goals, and helping them overcome any obstacles they might face.
I employ a variety of innovative teaching methods to ensure that my students not only learn but also enjoy the process. My expertise includes [Your Special Skills], and I incorporate technology and interactive activities to make learning dynamic and accessible. Additionally, I focus on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing students not just for exams but for lifelong learning.
