“We first met Mrs. Cohen as our daughter's homeroom teacher at the American School in London. When we learned that she was offering personal tutoring, we immediately secured places for both our daughters for English support (English as an Additional Language) and, at our daughters' request, quickly added creative writing content to the sessions. When we moved out of the UK, we continued the tutoring online, as these sessions had become not only an integral part of both our daughters' routine but also the highlights of their week! They look forward to each and every session, where they can express themselves, flourish with creativity, gain new tools, and improve their technique in the most supportive, professional, and fun learning environment. This is our fourth year of tutoring for both our daughters, now in Years 7 and 5. Mrs. Cohen is not only their tutor but also their writing and reading mentor. Last year, with Mrs. Cohen's encouragement and support, our older daughter submitted a short story she had written to a UK-based international writing competition and won first place. As I write these words, they are now having an in-person session during a family visit to the UK, as both girls insisted that this is the most important activity they want to schedule in London, and they have been looking forward to it. We are grateful to have Mrs. Cohen as part of our lives and our daughters' lives, and we will always be thankful for the amazing educational, creative, and emotional work she has done with them, as well as the skills she has equipped them with for life.” Parent of a Year 5 and Year 7 child receiving English tutoring

“Amy has been a truly outstanding tutor and a fantastic teacher for my son. She’s kind, insightful, flexible and deeply attuned to how to get the best out of him. My son has not only developed real skill and confidence in his writing, but he’s also discovered a genuine love for it. He looks forward to every session and never wants to miss one, even during holidays. As a parent, I’ve found Amy so easy to deal with—warm, inspiring, thoughtful and always helpful. I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor or a more positive experience and would not hesitate to recommend her.” Parent of a Creative Writing tutee

“Amy was a fantastic tutor to our daughter Liv, who is now 12. Not only were we fortunate enough to have Amy as Liv's classroom teacher in Year 5, but thereafter Amy continued tutoring Liv through Years 6 and 7. Amy supported Liv in her writing and Social Studies work, always with such patience. Thanks to Amy’s support, Liv has thrived in these subjects and today is a confident writer. We would love to work with Amy again!” Parent of a Literacy and Social Studies tutee

"We were lucky enough to have Amy tutor our two children in English when they were being home educated. Amy's passion for English, and especially poetry,  is evident in her ability to make complicated concepts accessible and fun. The children always looked forward to her lessons." Parent of two English tutees

“Both of my daughters have spent the past couple of years in Amy’s writing club, and the transformation has been nothing short of magical. They've grown more confident in expressing their ideas, expanded their vocabularies beyond "cool" and "awesome," and learned actual writing techniques—on purpose! Most importantly, they've discovered the joy of using their imagination in ways that don’t involve screens. Spending time with the ever-wonderful Amy was a highlight for them. She’s not just a talented professional who clearly loves what she does—she’s also a kid-whisperer with a pen. The kids pick up on her passion, and it makes all the difference. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her!” Parent of a Year 3 and Year 5 child

“My daughter has always loved writing, but the last two years with Amy have really transformed and evolved both her skills and her love of the written word. This has become apparent not only in her creative writing but also in writing assignments in school which she now excels in - not to mention how much she’s enjoyed her time at Amy‘s club. I highly recommend Amy’s writing club to any child who either loves reading and writing or is looking to develop their writing and editing skills in a fun environment.” Year 6 Parent

“My son was a part of Amy's writing clubs for two years. What was so fantastic about the club was the way that it pushed him to apply his skills to different types of writing challenges. The club was a fun and exciting setting, which stretched him, giving him an opportunity to work collaboratively to deadlines, learn how to edit his work and approach writing in a different way as to how writing assignments are set in the classroom.” Year 6 Parent

“My son has really enjoyed his time in Amy’s writing club. He has loved developing his journalistic skills and found the club fun and supportive, too.” Year 6 Parent

“The testimonial below is from my son, who was a participant in Amy’s writing club: “ Year 6 Parent

“My cohort was the first to experience the writing club. We had the pleasure of interviewing our teachers and classmates as well as governors for newspaper articles. I had first hand experience of how newspapers were made and my favourite part was the freedom of writing options. Amy was always very supportive and encouraging. I have saved my copy of the newspaper we made and I will cherish it forever.” Year 6 student

“My little boy devours books and I could not keep up, so I reached out to Amy on several occasions for recommendations. She is able to come up with personalised recommendations - books that I would never have found otherwise, and which somehow have a level of richness that is a cut above your average kids’ story. Am so grateful to have Amy’s help guiding my son’s reading at this crucial stage of his literary journey – our own personal librarian!”

Reception parent

“I am really grateful to have reached out to Amy for book recommendations for my daughter. Amy took her time to curate a list for my daughter, after she had taken the time to understand her interests. We will definitely come back!”
