Second English learners: English Writing, Vocabulary and Comprehension-UNSW Commerce and Computer Science / Ex- Macleans tutor CIE results: 93% AS Math, 90% AS English

My child has improved so much since starting these lessons. The sessions are really structured but still focus on what they need help with each week.
I like how they go through homework properly and then practise reading and writing different text types. It’s helped a lot with their confidence and understanding.
Definitely recommend for anyone looking for English tutoring.

I met Amber using this site and I have to say I was very impressed by her teaching methods and it really improved my little Billy's english at an astonishing rate.

Amber’s lessons are highly structured and purposeful. Each week builds on previous work, so feedback is actually applied rather than forgotten. Instead of simply correcting mistakes, she pushes students to develop ideas, improve structure, and understand how writing can be strengthened. This approach has led to clear improvement in writing quality, vocabulary, and comprehension.

What sets Amber apart is her focus on teaching students how texts work from a writer’s perspective. Through varied readings and guided analysis, students learn how to organise ideas and use language effectively in their own writing. The progress has been consistent and long-term, with increased confidence not only in English but across other subjects as well.

Amber's teaching approach is both highly systematic and exceptionally dedicated. She focuses not only on the child's grammar and vocabulary, but more importantly teaches them how to comprehend text structure, authorial intent, and how to articulate their own thoughts. Over the past few months, the child's writing depth and reading comprehension have shown marked improvement, and they now approach homework in other subjects with greater confidence. I highly recommend this teacher!!

Amber 的教学方式非常系统，也非常用心。她不仅关注孩子的语法和词汇，更重要的是教孩子如何理解文章结构、作者意图以及如何表达自己的想法。几个月下来，孩子的写作深度和阅读理解能力都有明显提升，而且在其他科目的作业中也更加自信。非常推荐老师！！ 　

Before tutoring, I didn’t really know how to improve my writing. Amber shows me exactly where I can go further and how to do it. Learning how different text types work has made writing feel structured instead of confusing. I’m more confident and my school feedback has noticeably improved. I fully recommend Amber as a tutor!
