About Amanda
I aim to teach students to understand concepts rather than learn by rote. - Qualified teacher and examiner. - Many students go onto medicine, vetmed and dentistry. - Prepare students for 13+, 11+ and scholarships: Westminster, Habs, QE Boys, Latymer, St Albans, Oundle, Bedford Modern and Kimbolton: for students outside the UK and UK based. I also have many international students studying IGCSE, CIE, IB and iA levels.
During lesson we look at exam questions and examiners reports to highlight the skills and knowledge needed to attain the top grades. I use exam papers to identify areas of weakness so we can then work on specific skills or topics. We can then revise topics and make revision materials.
Having dyslexia myself means I can help dyslexic students learn techniques to help them with both revision and accessing information on the exam papers. I have extensive SEN experience both at School and at home (my daughter has Down Syndrome).

I'm a qualified teacher and examiner with 23 years' experience. Until recently I was working part-time in a school in Hertfordshire teaching A level biology. I have worked with AQA and Edexcel as an examiner and moderator. This has allowed me to gain a good understanding of the exam requirements. I presently tutor a number of students online, some are based in Shanghai, Dubai, Malawi, Switzerland, Bangladesh and some in the UK. I can email or share files. I use either WhatsApp or Zoom for lessons.

I've known Amanda as we taught in the same secondary school for several years. Amanda is extremely talented as a teacher and as a tutor. She is experienced and capable of tailoring her teaching to the learning needs of her students, who can achieve her full potential under her guidance. Amanda is also a very positive and friendly person - while remaining professional - and this enables her to establish positive and fruitful relationship with her students, who enjoy learning and very often choose to carry on their studies at university.
I worked with Amanda as her second in science at school and can confirm that she is an outstanding teacher. The quality of her lessons are very good and both inspiring and full of rich learning.
Amanda will adapt her teaching technique accordingly and will make learning enjoyable. She has a friendly manner, making students feel at ease.
Amanda has helped my son grow in confidence and ability in Science and Geography. She is exceptionally knowledgable and engaging and ensures he fully understands the concepts. He really looks forward to his lessons. Highly recommended
Having known Amanda for a number of years now, I truly believe in her and her ability as a tutor. I’d have no problem in recommending her. Amanda has a lovely style in her teaching and gains the very best from her pupils. Thanks for everything Amanda
Sophie got into Nottingham to read History and Politics with A*AA, An A in Geography. Thank you so much
Hi Amanda, Sophie got an A in her AS exam. Thank you so much for your help and wonderful tutoring which helped her achieve that level.
Best wishes SallyAmanda is a great teacher who listens and is a great support. I was an adult learner needing to pass my Science GCSE. She supported my learning and created lots of experiences that were creative to ensure the learning was enjoyable.
Pryanka has enjoyed the last three years of tutoring with you and is well on her way to achieving A* in her GCSE's.
I went to Amanda for tutoring A level with Biology. When I first went to her I lacked confidence and I was failing in every area of the course. Amanda didn't seem fazed by this. Week by week I gained in confidence and went from U grades to A grades in some of my module exams. She could identify my strengths and weaknesses and worked with me to try and improve.
I am now studying Biological sciences at Aberystwyth University. Without Amanda's help I wouldn't have got to where I am today.Thankyou so much for helping Rhianna. She got 3 A* in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. You helped her gain confidance in all of her subjects.
