About Me

Hey there! My name is Amy and I have been an international high school teacher and online tutor for over 10 years. I love unlocking my students' potential and helping them achieve their goals, and improve their skills and grades. For help with IGCSE or A Level English Language, Literature, Drama or Spanish, please get in touch!

Tutor Experience

I've been teaching for 10 years in international high schools all over the world. After gaining a first-class degree in English and Spanish, I completed teacher training with the British Council and was put on placement in India, where I taught IGCSE and IB for two years. I've also taught IGCSE and A Levels in Poland, and KS3 in Honduras. I now work online and have had online students from all over the world. I primarily teach English but also teach Spanish and Drama.

I recently gained my Masters in Children's Literacies and am currently pursuing a PhD in Education, specialising in teenage literature for mental health and wellbeing. I also work a lot with SEND students and those with difficult educational histories and find it very important to prioritise my students' wellbeing as they learn.

I love unlocking my students' potential and helping them achieve their absolute best! My previous students have very often achieved at the top of their cohorts, and surpassed predicted grades! My lessons are always full of activities tailored to your needs - you'll work hard and get lots of structured support and constructive feedback.

Testimonials

Amy has strong subject knowledge and extensive experience teaching a wide range of curricula, including IGCSE, A Levels, O Levels, IB Diploma Programme, and IB MYP. She has a natural ability to explain concepts with clarity, making her lessons both easily understood and engaging. Her teaching is thoughtful and creative, and she genuinely inspires a love for literature in her students. Beyond academic instruction, Amy is deeply committed to her students’ overall growth. She is attentive to both their academic progress and personal development, offering guidance and encouragement when they need it. Having worked in international settings across different countries, she is highly adept at teaching students from diverse cultural backgrounds. She approaches her students with sensitivity and awareness, respecting their cultural contexts and emotional needs. Amy has a strong work ethic and always goes the extra mile for her students and colleagues. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I’ve observed Amy teaching English, Spanish, and Drama, and I’m very confident in giving her five stars as a tutor. She combines strong subject knowledge with a rare balance of warmth and firmness. Amy has a “tough love” approach: she is kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in her students, but she does not tolerate half-effort or excuses. She sets clear expectations and holds students to them, and they rise because of it. What makes her particularly effective is that this high standard is paired with a great sense of humour and an easy laugh. Her sessions are disciplined without feeling tense. Students feel safe, respected, and challenged all at once. She knows when to push, when to clarify, and when to lighten the moment so learning stays dynamic rather than intimidating. Amy builds both competence and confidence. I would recommend her without hesitation.

You would be extremely lucky to secure Amy as a tutor. She is a highly creative, dynamic and inspirational teacher and human being, and was accelerated through my school's leadership structure when working here. She has my unreserved recommendation.
