About Amanda
Amanda – Supportive and Experienced Tutor in History, Philosophy & Religious Studies
Helping students grow in confidence, think deeply, and achieve their academic goals
I’ve been teaching History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies for over 20 years, working with students from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities. I currently teach IGCSE and A Level and specialise in supporting home-schooled and distance-learning students. My lessons are structured, friendly, and highly focused on building confidence, deepening understanding, and helping students develop the skills they need to succeed.
I offer regular lessons with detailed marking and feedback, help with UCAS applications, and provide references where needed. I also work closely with families to offer ongoing support and keep everyone updated on progress and next steps.
Throughout my career, I’ve taught at some of the UK’s top sixth form colleges and served as Head of Department and Head of Humanities. I’m also a senior examiner for A Level Philosophy, History, and Religious Studies, which means I can offer valuable, up-to-date insight into what examiners are really looking for.
In addition to GCSE, A Level, and university-level tuition, I help students prepare for:
School entrance exams (11+, 13+, 16+, and admissions tests)
Oxbridge and UCAS applications, including interview practice
Specialist admissions tests such as the TSA, HAT, BMAT, and LNAT
International essay competitions, including the John Locke Essay Competition and the Trinity College Cambridge prizes in History and Philosophy
I also have extensive experience working with students managing challenges such as illness, anxiety, and dyslexia, as well as those aiming for the very highest grades and competitive university places.
Since 2008, I’ve worked as lead course developer for A Level Philosophy and Religious Studies and IGCSE History at the National Extension College (NEC), where I’ve written and updated textbooks and learning materials through several specification changes. My resources have been recognised by Edexcel and published by Hodder Education, including Philosophy of Religion and Ethics for the Edexcel A Level.
I’m also a published author of:
Two revision guides for Religious Studies
Two biographies on Aristotle and Hannah Arendt
Articles on A Level History exam technique
I love working with students of all ages—from GCSE to degree level and adult learners.
I believe that tutoring works best when it’s a genuine partnership. I always start with a short, informal meeting with students and parents to explore their goals and make sure we’re the right fit. I aim to create a supportive, open, and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable to ask questions, challenge themselves, and enjoy learning.

With over 20 years of teaching experience at one of the UK’s top sixth form colleges, I offer intellectually stimulating and highly personalised lessons in history, philosophy, and thinking skills. I have extensive experience supporting students from a wide range of backgrounds to achieve their best at GCSE, A Level, and university level.
Each lesson is one hour long and carefully structured to prioritise student understanding, active engagement, and critical thinking. Sessions include interactive discussion, knowledge checks, and focused teaching of exam technique—ensuring students are not only learning content but developing the skills to apply it with confidence.
As a senior examiner with many years of experience, I provide expert insight into what examiners are looking for and how students can meet those expectations. I also offer tailored support for UCAS and Oxbridge applications, entrance exams (including Common Entrance, 13+, and 16+), and university admissions tests.
In addition, I mentor students entering prestigious essay competitions such as the John Locke and Trinity College Cambridge Essay Prizes, helping them develop original ideas, refine their arguments, and write with clarity and academic depth.
These lessons are more than just academic support—they are energising, intellectually rich, and designed to help each student think deeply, develop lasting skills, and reach their full academic potential.
