English tutor Stockport
Qualified & Personalised English Tutor
Amanda Schrem offers teacher-led support for reading, writing, comprehension and confidence across Stockport and South Manchester, backed by A* GCSE English Language and English Literature results.
English support
Calm structure for reading, writing and confidence.
English can become emotional when a child feels behind, avoids reading aloud, worries about spelling or does not know how to start a written answer. Amanda starts by understanding what feels difficult, then builds clearer steps the learner can use again.
- Reading fluency and comprehension.
- Writing structure, vocabulary and sentence confidence.
- Spelling, grammar and punctuation support.
- Phonics and early-language awareness from classroom and intervention experience.
- School-aligned practice without overwhelming the learner.
Summer English
Summer English catch-up before September.
English can feel difficult for different reasons. Some children read the words but struggle to explain meaning. Some have ideas but cannot organise them on the page. Others worry about spelling, sentence structure, handwriting, vocabulary or getting started.
Amanda can use summer tutoring to make English feel more manageable before the next school year. Support can include reading fluency, comprehension, sentence confidence, paragraph structure, vocabulary, spelling, grammar and written answers.
For children moving from Year 6 to Year 7, English tutoring can help with the step into longer texts, fuller written answers and more independent work at secondary school.
For older learners, including pupils moving towards GCSE years, Amanda can help them look at how they read questions, organise ideas and explain answers clearly. This is careful confidence-building support, not a promise of a particular GCSE result.
Parents looking for an English tutor Stockport or GCSE English tutor Stockport can contact Amanda to talk through the year group, confidence and what school has said.
What Amanda looks for
Personalised and calm support.
Sometimes the issue is not effort. It can be vocabulary, working memory, confidence, phonics gaps, rushed reading, handwriting, fear of being wrong or simply not knowing the steps. Tutoring works best when those barriers are noticed.
Amanda is Fully DBS Checked and brings classroom experience across primary, secondary, SEND-aware and EAL support.
Parent feedback
Calm tutoring that parents can see making a difference.
"Amanda really helped Mackenzie with his English in Year 8 and she has not only caught him up now but his teachers are saying that he is more confident and engaged. I can't thank Amanda enough for her patience and support."
"Anna had a substitute teacher for Maths and as a result, fell behind in this subject. Amanda supported Anna to plug all the gaps and we're really happy with her most recent test result. Thank You!"
"My son has alot of anxiety around school and due to his SEND needs so we were looking for some one to one support to help him access school better, Amanda provided this in a calm manner and he now looks forward to his tutoring sessions with her."
"Can't thank Amanda enough for her support with Joe, he's really grown in confidence and I'm sure thats down to the way she interacts with him and her subject knowledge. Highly recommended."
