About Us
Amanda is a highly qualified classroom teacher, nutrition advocate, and educational innovator with 28 years of experience. She combines her extensive teaching background with her passion for nutrition to help children and families thrive academically and practically. Amanda’s expertise spans across literacy, mathematics, and life skills coaching, as well as nutrition education, where she provides families with the tools they need for both academic success and a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
As an educator, Amanda has worked in leading private schools in Sydney, International Baccalaureate schools in the United States, and various primary schools in Queensland. With a Master of Literacy and extensive experience as a learning support specialist and academic coach, she has helped countless children find their strengths, improve their literacy and mathematics skills, and develop a love for learning. Her work as an educational consultant has also enabled her to guide teachers in adopting innovative strategies to enhance student outcomes.
In addition to her educational work, Amanda co-founded Pinkfarm, where she introduced families to the benefits of traditional food practices. Starting in 2014, Amanda, aka Pinky and her bestie Tan, aka Farmer, led workshops along the East Coast of Australia, teaching the art of fermenting foods, making homemade sauerkraut, milk kefir and kombucha, and embracing nutrient-dense, real food cooking. Pinkfarm’s reach also included collaborations with Pete Evans on The Paleo Way tour, spreading the message of real food and its healing power.
Today, Amanda continues to support families through both her academic coaching and her nutrition-based programs, including the From Scratch: Real Food Cooking Program for Kids. Whether through helping kids improve their literacy and math skills or teaching them the healing power of real food, Amanda empowers children and families to live healthier, more confident lives.
Amanda believes in a holistic approach to learning and ensures relationship quality is at the centre of all she does. She values building a positive working relationship with her students and believes in the longevity and connection working with a student over many months and years can provide. When children are excited and motivated to come to their session, more learning can take place. She holds a special place in her heart for all her students and prides herself on her retention rate; tutoring many primary school students (and then their siblings!) well into their high school years.
I can’t thank you enough for the guidance you provided over the years for both our boys helping develop their writing skills. Andre’s final HSC result bears testimony to this (scoring the highest HSC results for his year at Mosman high). He has chosen to attend Syd Uni doing Commerce-Law with Dalyel Scholarship!
Amanda believes it takes a village to raise a child so she aims to work collaboratively with the child’s parents, teachers and any other professional to ensure together we are meeting specific needs and helping propel the child forward and reminding them of their strengths.
