About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Most Common Form of Learning Disability

Amanda, you probably have, but unfortunately many of these students are too embarrassed to ask for help. The best thing we can do is demonstrate that we are here to help & hopefully they will open up to us. Dr. Ryan Meers
