Scott Bullock

Educator & Tutor

I'm an artist, musician, and proud to be going into my third year as a Special Education teacher. I love being creative, making music, and helping students discover their strengths and build confidence. I also have ADHD, which gives me a personal understanding of many of the challenges my students face. It helps me relate to them with patience, empathy, and the belief that everyone learns differently and that's something to be celebrated.

Testimonials

What Families Say

"Amanda has been working with our family for several years. She is great. She always comes prepared with a "game plan" for the session, but will easily pivot depending on what our child needs to focus on. She is patient and does a great job keeping our child motivated."
Maria Cato Klooster
Recommends EmpowerED
"Our family has worked with Amanda for years. Professional, passionate and dedicated to the community."
Joe Klooster

"We've known Amanda Bailey-Ramos for more than five years. She tutored two of our boys in math and really helped them make up the deficits most students developed during the pandemic. She tailors her teaching style to each child. She has a passion for helping children reach their maximum potential."
Keith Collins
Recommends EmpowerED
"We started working with Amanda right after the school year ended, and the progress has been amazing. Leighton attends tutoring twice a week, and her reading skills have already improved significantly in a short amount of time. I am honestly surprised by how quickly she is progressing, and even more importantly, her confidence is growing every day. At the end of first grade, Leighton was reading at about a mid-kindergarten level. Since beginning tutoring, she has mastered her kindergarten sight words and is already doing well with her first-grade sight words. One of the things that was most important to me when searching for a tutor was finding someone who would cater to my child's individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. We absolutely found that with Amanda. She takes the time to understand how Leighton learns and has even created customized stories that make learning fun and engaging for her. Amanda is flexible, reliable, and professional, but what stands out most is the relationship she has built with Leighton. She has created a genuine connection that fosters trust while maintaining professionalism. Because of that bond, Leighton looks forward to tutoring and feels comfortable taking risks and learning new things. We are incredibly grateful for Amanda and highly recommend her to any family looking for a tutor who truly cares about her students, personalizes instruction, and gets results."
