Instructor

Dr. Amanda Hunter has enjoyed math & science since she was a child and became very interested in health care in high school which led her to Purdue University where she earned her Doctorate in Pharmacy in 2005. After seeing how closely diet and lifestyle are related to health and prevention of chronic disease, she also completed the Institute for Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching program in 2014. 

While she loved working in a traditional Pharmacy setting, Amanda has the heart of a teacher. Amanda’s significant educational background combined with her collegiate coursework and teaching experience make her a wonderful math and science teacher. Her students have included pupils who are advanced STEM students and those who are not as STEM-inclined. Amanda works to make her classes very practical while maintaining a college-preparatory standard. Students will learn how algebra, science, and health concepts will be applied to their adult-lives even if they do not enter a math/science field!. Online teaching for the past 7 years has allowed her to combine her favorite things… teaching, children, math, science, and health. 

She also enjoys teaching her own children, homeschool co-op classes, local kids’ nutrition classes, food-allergy workshops, women’s Bible studies, and has been teaching children’s Bible classes for over 20 years. 

Amanda is married to her high school sweetheart, Sean. The Lord has blessed them with 2 daughters. They share their 5 acres in Central Illinois with 2 dogs. Their biggest goal in life is to share the love of Christ with everyone who crosses their path. 

Amanda is also a distance runner. The half-marathon is her favorite distance. You can also find her hiking, gardening, cooking, and playing board games. As a homeschool mom and teacher, she is passionate about teaching students the amazing way God designed the human body, how best to take care of it, and how we can see His design in the beauty and logic of science & math – all to bring honor and glory to God, our awesome Creator.
