Empowering Diverse Learners Through Innovative Tutoring & Technology Integration

Hi, I’m Sean Andrews, an educator and technology integration specialist dedicated to transforming learning experiences. My passion for helping diverse learners—especially those with learning differences—drives my commitment to personalized, multisensory instruction.

My Journey

• Curiosity & Early Ambitions:
  From my early days as a film production intern at Capital News 9 and a snowboard instructor—where I discovered the joy of teaching—I learned to tailor lessons to each student’s needs. These experiences sparked my lifelong passion for technology and innovative learning

• A Shift to Education & Technology:
  Motivated by the potential of digital tools, I earned a Master of Arts in Learning and Emerging Technologies and published a thesis on “Digital Resources for Teaching Students with Dyslexia.” This experience fueled my passion for integrating technology and universal design in education.

• Building a Legacy:
  As a certified Orton-Gillingham tutor and Assistive Technology Coordinator at The Kildonan School, I developed multisensory strategies for dyslexia support. Later, as Director of Technology at a leading K-12 Institution in Brooklyn, NY, and now at one of the top schools in Minnesota, I’ve led initiatives that merge innovation with hands-on learning.

Over 15 years of experience in Orton-Gillingham tutoring, dyslexia support, assistive technologies, and educational innovation
