Parent Reviews
Real stories from real families who have experienced the difference Amanda Holiday Math makes in their children's education.
"As a homeschool parent, I felt the best way for my children to learn math is from someone who is enthusiastic about math and teaching and that’s exactly what we’ve found in Mrs. Holiday. My oldest has taken classes with her for five years, and having the same teacher has brought wonderful consistency and steady growth. Mrs. Holiday’s experience with Singapore Dimensions enables her to explain concepts clearly and thoroughly, yet if students or parents ever have questions, she is always happy to take the time to help. Her live online classes are both engaging and well-structured, and my children especially look forward to the fun review games at the end of each class. It’s a highlight that reinforces what they’ve learned in such an enjoyable way. Mrs. Holiday provides parents with an organized schedule including assigned homework. It's clear to me what is being taught in class and how to support my children. Overall, her classes are an effective, encouraging, and truly positive math experience. We're so grateful for her and wholeheartedly recommend her classes!"

"My daughter is a third grader who LOVES Mrs. Holiday's online Singapore Math class because it is so engaging and everything about it is JUST RIGHT. The games, books, math tools, review/practice work, discussions, class interactions, and Mrs. Holiday's encouragement and enthusiasm all work together to make every class absolutely fantastic! My daughter is engaged from start to finish, and motivated between sessions to do the homework, which includes lots of games that we play as a family. As a parent who is very interested in math education, I can see that Mrs. Holiday uses all the best methods to teach math effectively, which is the whole point of Singapore Math. We were concerned that the Dimensions Math series would be too hard, but Mrs. Holiday explains everything so well and provides the perfect amount of scaffolding to make the work accessible with just the right amount of challenge. We also like that every class is recorded and available for later viewing on the days your child can't make it to class. It has been such a great help! My daughter gives this class 5 out 5 stars and can't wait to move on to the next level in the fall!"

"Ms. Holiday has been an absolute gift to our family. She is one of the most prepared and organized teachers we have ever worked with. Every aspect of her class is thoughtfully structured and clearly communicated. It truly is turnkey. As a parent, I never have to wonder what assignment is due, where to find materials, or what the expectations are for the week. Everything is laid out in a way that is logical, accessible, and easy to follow. What sets Ms. Holiday apart is her commitment to true mastery. She reviews concepts thoroughly and makes sure students genuinely understand them before moving on. She uses multiple tools and teaching methods to explain concepts, which is incredibly helpful for kids who learn in different ways. If something doesn’t click the first time, she has another way to approach it. We have three kids who all learn very differently and she has done a great job with their individual learning styles. As a homeschool mom, what I value most is that this is done for me, and done exceptionally well. I don't have the bandwidth to take on math for my three kids, so it is a huge relief that it is off my plate. I highly recommend Ms. Holiday-- I just wish she taught high school grades too!"

"Mrs. Amanda Holiday has been an incredible teacher for Singapore Dimensions Level 4 Math. I absolutely love hearing her excited voice during class. You can truly tell she has a passion for teaching and genuinely loves helping children understand math. Her enthusiasm makes such a difference. I am especially thankful that my daughter is enjoying the class. She typically does not like online classes, but Mrs. Holiday has completely changed that experience for her. That alone speaks volumes about her teaching style and ability to connect with students. I would highly recommend Mrs. Holiday to any family looking for a teacher who not only supports what we are teaching at home, but strengthens and reinforces it in a meaningful way."

"My daughter had Mrs. Holiday for Dimensions 4 Math this year for the first time and we couldn't have found someone more amazing than her! Her live class is just what my daughter needed. It is organized and thorough. She provides plenty of added resources! She has excelled, felt challenged and has learned so much from her! She not only makes Math fun, but my 10 year old looks forward to every class she has with her. She loves it so much, we're signed up for the following year. [My daughter] says she likes Mrs. Holiday's class because she Is kind, patient, and explains math concepts clearly! She also loves Kahoot and the math games she includes! [Mrs. Holiday] makes the class very fun! I love how organized and laid out everything is for a parent. I love the enthusiasm she adds to the class! [Mrs. Holiday is] one of the best math teachers we’ve ever come across and works so well with kids. [My daughter] has responded so well with this class because you match the excitement she has about Math. She is able to understand difficult concepts because of how you perfectly explain everything. Thank you a bunch! We will see you next class!"

"My daughter has enjoyed Mrs. Holiday’s classes because she’s always positive and upbeat. She also makes math as engaging and enjoyable as possible. My daughter said she is very patient and makes everyone feel welcome. She gives all the students many opportunities to answer questions in class. I like her classes because she is great with the students, keeps them on track, provides a detailed syllabus of what’s needed for each class and is super responsive/helpful when we email questions. She is always striving to improve and become a better teacher for her students by asking for the parents’ input. I appreciate this very much. Mrs. Holiday explains concepts clearly, concisely and makes it fun! We’ve been with Mrs. Holiday for 2 years now and will continue. [Her online math classes are] convenient because we travel a lot and we’re also able to rewatch the recordings of the classes if needed."

My child likes your classes because you’re really nice and a good teacher. As a parent, I enjoy your classes because they’re structured. I always know what homework is due, what’s required for class, and you are responsive to emails. I would absolutely recommend your classes to other parents because my child has greatly enjoyed being your student. We've been with you for 2 years now and have been super happy. Your classes have worked for us because we were doing Singapore math on our own, and your classes gave my child an opportunity to learn the math from a seasoned educator.

"My child enjoys Mrs. Holiday's math class because he is able to understand it and she makes learning math more fun. As a parent, Mrs. Holiday's positive engagement and energy with the children is amazing to see/hear. I wish I discovered her for my oldest. I highly recommend Mrs. Holiday to any student because she has the true ability/passion to teach math. Online math with Mrs. Holiday worked for us by keeping my son on task with math through our homeschool journey!"

parent of a 3rd grader
From our 8 year old to our 13 year old, our children truly enjoy Mrs. Holiday’s fun approach to teaching math. They especially love memorizing math facts through songs and games. One of the reasons this works so well is that Mrs. Holiday makes sure every student understands the lesson before moving on. As a parent, what I value most is how organized everything is. The recorded classes are incredibly helpful if we miss a session because we can watch them at our convenience. The structured schedule with a printable calendar, along with links to extra games, supplies, book recommendations, and memory songs, makes supporting learning at home very manageable. I was initially hesitant about virtual learning for younger children, but Mrs. Holiday has truly helped foster a love of math in our family. My kids get excited every week to log in, and the Kahoot game at the end of class is always a favorite. The consistency has been a big benefit for us. If we miss a lesson, we can watch the recording, complete the homework, and stay on track with the daily five minutes of Fast Facts practice. The kids really notice their own improvement over time. We appreciate how organized everything has been and for the many years of learning together!

"My daughter loves being a part of Mrs. Holiday's class because of her bubbly personality in the mornings and games like Kahoot that they play with other classmates. As a parent, I love that she has everything organized each week with the recordings of the class because if my child is struggling in an area we can go back and re-watch it to practice it again. It helps that she adds extra resources like games we can order to help our child understand what they are learning in a way that my child will enjoy. I would highly recommend these classes with Mrs. Holiday to other families because I know my child is enjoying learning hard topics (where as before it was like pulling teeth) and she makes it easy for them to practice their fast facts that will benefit them in future lessons. She makes math FUN."
