About

I'M BACK!!!

Hello! My name is Amanda. I am a freshman student from Virginia. I specialize in essay writing here on Schoolhouse, as well as the development of creative narratives.

Beyond reading and writing, I'm a creative writer and I've won a Scholastic Writing Regional Silver Key award in my first year submitting. I'm also an editor for our school's award winning student literary magazine, and a staff writer for the newspaper. Additionally, I enjoy expressing myself through content creation and blogging.

A few other clubs I participate in currently include, Black Student Union, Debate, Mock Trial, and others! I can't wait to get to know you.

Featured Feedback

Amanda did a wonderful job at adjusting to the learners' needs and progress, as demonstrated by your leading the learners into different activities based on their progress in the session. Specifically, this can be seen in you giving Sidra the mic as it was Sahi's first session, and you took over when Sidra was a bit uncomfortable presenting. One thing that could be improved upon is when you are checking the learner's progress, instead of asking "Any questions?" try saying "What are your questions?" as the first question assumes that there are none. This is just a way to encourage learners to ask any questions they may have if they are a bit shy.

Great job, Amanda, on creating a super warm and inviting environment. Additionally, you created a fun atmosphere by keeping your tone upbeat and encouraging the learners to talk about one fun thing they did that month, as well as sharing your own experiences.
