Clear ideas. Confident voices.
Thoughtful tuition and writing, shaped with clarity, curiosity and care
Hello, I’m Amelia Carruthers. I offer one-to-one online tuition in English, History and Philosophy, alongside professional copywriting and editorial support.
Whether I’m helping a student untangle a difficult essay or helping an organisation find the right words, my approach is much the same: listen carefully, understand what matters and make the next step clearer.
Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, I work with clients across Warwickshire, London, the wider UK and beyond.
RELAXED INSPIRING LESSONS
I am passionate about the study of English, History and Philosophy – and love sharing this enthusiasm and curiosity with my students. I offer online lessons (via zoom), as well as face-to-face classes, for anyone from adult learners looking to improve their English skills to 11+, GCSE and A Level exam preparation. I have helped students across Warwickshire, London and beyond achieve their academic goals – and enjoy every moment.
ENGAGING INFORMATIVE WRITING
I love creating engaging, informative blog and website copy that will keep your readers hooked. From a publishing and marketing background, I specialise in writing for cultural enterprises, although recent projects have included marketing for mobile planetariums, financial reporting on “Tap to Donate”, kitchen design trends and fashion advice. I am always open to new challenges, so get in contact to discuss any projects.
