Amanda Johnson, Ed.D.,

Our goal as GURUs are to provide quality, research based educational advice to parents, students, and educators about educational placement. As educators, we teach our children and students to be independent thinkers, that are able to view the world from all perspectives. We are excited to present this information from our perspective as parents and educators. We have served in the following roles: Teacher, Literacy Coach, Dean, Assistant Principal, and School Counselor. We have developed courses to equip anyone with the tools to support and advocate for students in the educational realm. While providing a platform for learning in any subject area because anything is teachable.

Amanda and Sharia desire to instill the values of education and equality, with hope that it will create a culture that will embrace diversity as a strength.

There is enough opportunity in the world for everyone to be GREAT!
