Amanda Harrington
English: I offer home tuition in English, from pre-school to GCSE. The tuition is tailored to suit the needs of each student. The lessons can be linked to the curriculum or built to help the student in particular areas. I often use my experience in creative writing to help even the most reluctant student enjoy English.
I offer tuition online and creative writing correspondence courses. Exercises are sent via email.
I also run creative writing workshops for schools, groups and classes. For details of these, please see the web link below.
Maths: Pre-school to GCSE. I offer Maths from a basic skills level, SATS preparation and GCSE support, as well as flexible Maths tuition for all ages and levels. I aim to build confidence and encourage development in those students who need extra help with their Maths skills.
I often combine Maths and English lessons for students who need help with both.
I also offer shared lessons, either within the same family or amongst a group of friends who would like their children to learn in a much smaller group than is possible at school. There are reduced rates per child for this service, so please contact me for further details.

Creative Writing Workshops
In my children's workshops, I help students discover the fun of creating their own story, with a set of characters and events completely in their control. They each start out in the same way, but then create their own, individual stories.
I am also available for school visits and readings of my work. This can be incorporated into workshops or classes for the school, or as an individual visit to stimulate the children's interest in reading and creative writing. The visit is usually made up of reading from my work, followed by discussions with the audience and answering any questions they may have, then rounding off with more of the story.
Readings from my books can also be adapted to suit groups of adults or children's clubs. Please contact me via the Email page if you would like to find out more.
For adults, I provide workshops aimed at bringing enjoyment and a sense of achievement into creative writing. The work has a general theme, suitable for most individuals, or can follow a set theme arranged beforehand. The workshops available range from absolute beginners, to more advanced and experienced writers.
