Hi, I'm Amanda

I'm an experienced, specialist tutor and have successfully supported a wide range of children and young people with their specific difficulties in reading, writing and spelling.


My positivity and patience really helps to create trust with my students - some of which have been really finding learning hard.  Often, by the time I meet a student they are becoming aware that they’re not keeping up and often have quite low self-esteem.


I'm therefore passionate about enabling my students to learn about their individual strengths as well the strategies needed in order to support their own way of learning. I'm also dyslexic so know what it's like to have to work just that bit harder.


Being unable to read fluently creates challenges in all areas of learning throughout a child's educational journey.  It is why it is so important to receive intervention as early as possible.  Reading enables children to be curious about their world, be creative in their thoughts and writing, and creates confidence in themselves. 


Find out how you can support your child improve their reading and spelling, and how to advocate for them, by requesting my free parents guide.
