Hi, I'm Amanda
I began my working career in the legal profession and studied law at the University of Westminster, London. After a planned career break (full time parenting), I decided to return to work and follow a different path. My teaching career started at St. Mary's C.E. Primary School, Northchurch, Hertfordshire. In 2009, I joined Berkhamsted School, a leading co-educational independent day school, based in Hertfordshire where I spent the next 12 years working in Key Stage 2. Through continuing professional development and practice-based modules with The Open University, I developed my pedagogical skills and subject knowledge in mathematics, language and literacy, science, computing and ICT, in order to enhance and support children's learning.
​
During the school holidays, I was also employed by Berkhamsted Base Camp (part of the Berkhamsted Schools Group) teaching computer programming classes including Scratch, Python, HTML and JavaScript to 7-12 year-olds. In 2021, I left Berkhamsted School and started tutoring privately.
​​​​​
I have recently relocated to Cheshire and offer private English and maths tuition, both face-to-face and online, for children aged 7-12 in Knutsford and the surrounding areas. In addition to core subject support, I specialise in preparing pupils for Grammar School and Independent School entrance exams, including CEM and GL style questions, and can provide guidance and support to help your child succeed in this process.

About
I understand that every child is unique and learns differently, so every lesson is bespoke to your child depending on their specific needs.
​​The benefits to you and your child
​
As a parent, it is only natural that you want the very best for your child. Therefore, I provide regular, detailed feedback on their progress, so you
can share in your child's learning journey and celebrate their achievements.
​
My style of tutoring provides effective teaching and learning by fostering
positive relationships in order to build your child's confidence. At the end
of the session, students are allowed time to reflect and review their work, and
identify how they can improve in the future. The development of these skills empowers them to become agents of their own learning and inspires them
to be life-long learners. Importantly, this also gives them the confidence and
self-esteem to flourish and succeed in our ever changing world.
