Henry the Star-Spangled Spaniel

Amanda Martin is the founder and CEO of Studyville®, a nationally recognized education company delivering high-quality tutoring that blends human-centered instruction with data-driven accountability. A magna cum laude graduate of Vanderbilt University and the University of Texas, Amanda launched Studyville after her experience as a mother inspired her to "Take the Homework Fight Out of the Home®." What began as a solution for her own family has grown into a company providing over 100,000 in-person tutoring sessions annually, with 99% of students demonstrating measurable academic growth.

Under her leadership, Studyville has pioneered innovations including microschools, StudyTrack™—a FERPA-compliant platform providing transparent academic dashboards—and ReadingImpact™, a Science-of-Reading aligned literacy curriculum. She is also the creator of Henry the Star-Spangled Spaniel™, a patriotic literacy mascot whose time-travel adventures foster reading skills and civic understanding.

Amanda serves on multiple education and business boards and is a committed philanthropist supporting the arts and education. Her work has earned national recognition, including honors from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Baton Rouge Business Report.

Amanda believes literacy is the engine of America’s future—and through Henry, she is helping inspire the next generation to learn, grow, and lead.
