About Amanda
KINDLY NOTE THAT I DO NOT OFFER FREE LESSONS. I attended The Lady Eleanor Holles School, as have my daughters, before gaining an MA from Oxford University. Before having a family, I was a journalist and so have decades of experience of writing and editing articles for national newspapers and magazines, as well as appearing on radio and television. This rare background for a tutor gives me a unique ability to teach non-fiction writing skills, presentation, and editing of coursework. In my free time, I study creative writing - I am currently writing middle-grade fiction. I am also a judge for the BBC's 500 words creative writing competition. My constant personal learning experience gives me an additional unique approach to teaching.

An Oxford University graduate, I tutor English Language and Literature at all levels. Teaching the subject I have always loved is a vocation. Unlike some tutors, I do not have additional employment or commitments - I am happy to be 100% dedicated to my students, 24/7/365! I teach pupils from age 7 (though I can take younger pupils to non-native adult speakers who are keen to perfect their English). Lessons are personally prepared for each pupil, often using material I have personally produced, and any homework assigned is carefully selected to boost progress and nurture self-esteem in the subject. I would advise tuition to start at least two years before grammar school exams and at least one year before other entrance exams. For GCSE and A level, I would advise tuition as early as possible in the course. English cannot be "crammed" at the last minute. Good preparation, well in advance, is the key to good grades and yes, it's essential to prepare and revise for English language exams! Whilst I am happy to teach those who just require a general improvement in their work, I focus on training my students to get the best exam results they are capable of. I tailor teaching to each individual student’s needs but usually concentrate on exam strategy and technique. I focus on quality, not quantity in any homework I assign. I do not normally offer an assessment in the first lesson as one hour is not long enough to fully cover all areas of the syllabus.
