What people are Saying

We were so excited to learn that our daughter is the National Champion of the Storyathon writing competition in the upper primary category. She only started writing coaching with Amber at the beginning of the year. It’s amazing how much she has improved in just 3 terms. I’m sincerely thankful to Amber for all the effort she has put into bringing our daughter’s writing skills to an extraordinary level. We highly recommend you send your kids to Amber!

You have worked magic! My once reluctant writer son was awarded an ICAS medal in writing today! Koji has a busy mind and used to find it difficult to put his wild thoughts into writing. Thank you for guiding him through a very structured approach, scaffolding his writing with top-class materials and nurturing him in a supportive environment. He particularly enjoys your very engaging narrative plots. Within a short time, he could already take off with his imagination and write freely, full of passion. We have seen significant personal growth in his training through persuasive writing as well - he has become a tough negotiator with well-organized arguments and strong critical thinking skill. As Koji said, ‘Life is not complete without Amber’s writing lesson!’ Koji always looks forward to writing lesson and we are so grateful for having you as his teacher!

My Year 4 daughter has just won the one and only 2022 Year 5 Open Academic Scholarship to a prestigious private girls school! The scholarship will cover the full tuition fees for her next 8 years of education! It is incredible and we are so thrilled and humbled! We want to thank you for your excellent coaching, Amber. You did a marvellous job of teaching her the structure and vocabulary to score well on her test. You really improved her writing in the process. As a result, she achieved band 9 (the highest possible score) in her written expression! I would highly recommend your coaching class to anyone who wants to do well on such tests.

Cindy
Year 4 parent

My Year 3 daughter was recently awarded the highest scholarship on offer at an exclusive private schoolIt will apply to 8 years of education (Year 5 to Year 12 inclusive). This is our school of choice so we are beyond ecstatic. Thank you to Amber and Helen for all their hard work. We have dabbled with other tutoring services in the past but nothing compares to Amber’s writing course. The class materials are highly detailed, offers clear guidance, inspiring and really helps kids to fulfil their potential. Thank you!

"My son received a FULL scholarship to Sydney Grammar School worth $240 000! We are blessed and so thankful to Amber!"

Rohil
Year 6 parent

Thank you, Amber for your fantastic work. Our children's writing abilities have improved dramatically over a short time. Your unique way of teaching, coupled with your genuine caring nature, has produced outstanding results. Our child received a scholarship to a prestigious private school, and we strongly believe our child’s writing abilities played a big part. I highly recommend Amber if you want your child to do well in writing but also enjoy it. Amber is experienced and very knowledgeable. She enjoys teaching and is very resourceful. We will be forever indebted to Amber. Thank you.

Julie
Parent of Year 3 and year 5

I am so grateful to have found Amber to be my daughter's writing coach. She is an excellent teacher with a wealth of knowledge. She is always very polite and professional in her manner. We appreciate all the hard work and preparation she puts into each tutoring session with our daughter and would like to pass on our sincere thanks to Amber for helping our daughter to get into James Ruse Agricultural High School. I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone else.

Deepthakshi
Parent of Year 5/6 student

I’m so glad to have found Amber to be my daughter’s tutor. A very warm and lovely teacher, Amber has extensive expertise in teaching children how to read and write properly. Her unique way of teaching writing and vocabulary has enabled my daughter to develop her writing skills in a systematic way. With Amber’s wonderful guidance and support, my daughter’s writing has improved dramatically, and she has become such a confident writer capable of handling both persuasive and creative writings at a consistently high level for her age. Her enhanced writing skills have also helped her win a full scholarship to a prestigious school. I am sincerely thankful to Amber for all the support she has given to my daughter, without which my daughter would not have been able to achieve such an outstanding outcome. If you are eager to improve your child’s writing and vocabulary, I would strongly recommend you to send your child to Amber and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Year 6 parent

Clever Fox is the best decision I took for my son. Amber is an empathetic and very experienced teacher. My son has been taking writing classes with Amber for over two years now, and his confidence has grown dramatically in writing. He never enjoyed writing at school, and now not only he is learning and enjoying but growing in the process. We always receive constructive feedback, which is key to any learning. I don’t think anyone can teach better writing skills than Clever fox. I would highly recommend Clever fox classes to anyone looking for a dedicated coach/teachers.

Maria
Parent of year 7 child

Amber is an experienced teacher and she definitely knows how to unlock your child’s potential, not only in English but also in other aspects of learning. Achieving good results is the goal however ensuring children learn with joy is paramount. My two children have been attending Amber's classes the past few terms and I can re- assure you Amber can deliver both. (They received outstanding results in the recent NAPLAN and they love writing). Needless to say, Amber is knowledgeable and well-resourced which comes from her extensive teaching experience. She is consistent with her approach and she knows my children well in terms of their strengths and weaknesses. Her teaching style and interaction with my children and her students are always engaging and thought-provoking. My children found the feedback on their marked homework were precise and constructive which they could focus on the area of improvement. In Amber’s class, you will find all the essential elements to success in English and learning. There is a long list that I can go on for pages. I am confident to say, if you are looking for an English tutor who you can trust, surely Amber is the one as she can deliver what she promises.

Carol
Parent of Year 3 and 5

I can clearly see the impact Amber has had on our kids these past 6 months. I highly recommend Amber's incredibly detailed and technical writing course, the school holiday workshops or private tuition. The way Amber teaches is not like your typical teacher. She is passionate, detailed, and extremely knowledgeable and will inspire and engage your child like no other. Our kids always leave her buzzing with ideas and inspiration. Thank you so much Amber for bringing out the very best in our children. I’m thrilled we have found such a high level of teaching support for our kids now in primary and well into high school.

Ray
Parent of Year 4 and 5 students

My Year 5 daughter, Ellie, has jumped to the top writing group at her school! It is incredible and makes us so glad! We want to thank you for your excellent coaching, Amber. You did a marvellous job of teaching Ellie. You really improved her writing in the process. I would highly recommend your coaching class to anyone. Ms Amber is very amiable, has great skills in English and is an effective teacher. She really helps my daughter to understand the structure and vocabulary of writing.

Thank you, Amber for working with my daughter to help her achieve a High Distinction in her ICAS writing exam, 1st in English in at a Sydney-based private school, 1st in a number of other subjects which also require essay writing and the overall Academic Prize awarded to the top 2 students in the year.

Marina
Parent Year 8 student

I just received mid-year reports and both children (Y5 and Y4) earned the best results in English they have ever had. One child topped out English with an almost perfect score across all areas. The other, not far behind. Each child earned a personal best since starting school. I was so impressed to see how much they had improved over the space of 6 months. Thank you Amber.

Janaia
Parent of Year 4 and 5 students

Hi Amber. I would like to thank you for your help in improving Maya's writing skills. She is doing very well in her English classes in Year 7. She scored 20/20 for her Term 1 narrative writing task and recently scored 43/44 for a practice Naplan writing test in persuasive writing. All these achievements would not have been possible without attending your highly structured writing classes. Thank you so much!

My daughter was failing English and really struggled with writing essays but with Amber's help, she is now passing her exams and assessments and her self-confidence has grown. We are delighted!

Parent

Over the last 12 months, Clever Fox online classes have helped our daughter to develop her writing skills, resulting in a scholarship award at an excellent independent school on the North Shore. Amber teaches best practice in persuasive and narrative writing for children of all abilities, with great techniques to help students structure content, think critically, improve organizational and time management skills, and extend their vocabulary consistently over time. The prompt and detailed feedback we received after each assignment was particularly useful. Highly recommended.

AF. Northern Beaches
Parent of Year 5 child

My son started writing class with Amber for just over a year and within such a short period of time, his writing skills have improved exponentially. Amber knows the right technique to enhance the student's writing skills and capabilities. Her class is interactive and she provides both live and written feedback to her students which is very encouraging. She is caring, supportive and inspiring. Since joining Amber's class, my son has achieved high writing scores in NAPLAN, ICAS, scholarship exam and selective. I can't thank her enough for all her dedication and guidance. Importantly, writing is now no longer a chore for my son but she has inspired him to become a passionate writer which is a lifelong skill he will require. Thank you, Amber.

Lisa
Parent of Year 6 child

“Amber provides great structure and process to develop L’s writing skills. This in no small part contributed to L’s results in the recent selective school examinations. We’re very happy about her offer from North Sydney Girls. We strongly recommend Amber’s classes, not just for examination preparation, but also for development of writing skills in general.

Parent of Year 6

Our children (Y6, Y4 and Y2) have been working with Amber on writing and comprehension. She is hands down the best English tutor we have come across. Experienced, caring and professional she simply works magic into every English lesson.

Dee

My child has gained a lot from attending Amber's English classes online. Amber always made my daughter at ease, never failed to encourage my daughter and supported her throughout her primary school education. We are thrilled with her Selective results. Amber's teaching method is well structured and easy to follow. Exposure to Amber's structured lessons have aided my daughter at gain a strong platform in persuasive and narrative writing pieces. I would definitely recommend Amber for anyone who wishes to excel in English Writing.

Arun
Year 6 parent

Amber has been teaching my 12 yo daughter and 9 yo son for 18 months. They both have improved tremendously. More importantly, they both love English now and are much more confident in their skills. My daughter moved from an average student to receiving the top mark in her end of year English assessment. My son has moved to the Extension English class. Amber has the unique skill to keep young students interested and motivated which is so important. There’s no pressure but the students want to do well and improve each week I would highly recommend Amber to a student of any ability. You will definitely see an improvement in marks and attitude to English

S.K
Parent of Year 4 and 6

Thanks, Amber, for the fantastic lesson! I’m sorry I missed it but they both told me they really enjoyed it and learned a lot. I’m absolutely thrilled! S has really struggled with his confidence in writing and I heard he was reluctant at first. To my surprise and delight, he was very quickly and happily engaged and he remained so for the two hours. I’m so relieved that this was a positive experience for him. He said that you were very kind! Both are actually excited and looking forward to next week’s class. I’m keen to enrol my eldest as he really needs to develop his writing skills. Again, my deepest thanks, I’m amazed!

Thanh
Parent of Year 3 and 4

Our son has been studying with Amber for almost 3 years and now our daughter continues to begin her English and writing improvement under Amber and Helen's teaching. It's really our pleasure to share our deep gratitude to the teachers' caring, professional and great methodology in the last 3 years. Our son now has been an advanced student in his cohort about English writing in which he can express his thoughts academically and properly. One thing that we should highlight is the methodology that Amber uses to teach the kids, which encourages them to learn from her feedback and practice again and again which results in their writing keep improving properly. We're pretty sure that our daughter will also enjoy the journey under Amber and Helen's coaching. Thank you so much for all the great coaching you've been doing for our children.

Huynh & Nhung
Parent of Year 3 and 4

With our son's strong school and NAPLAN results we were looking at him trying for an academic scholarship. We thought he had most areas covered but he needed help with his writing skills. After trying two other tutoring establishments unsuccessfully we decided to look at writing lessons provided online and we came across Clever Fox Education. Our son has thoroughly enjoyed Amber's lessons, he looks forward to them each week. The lessons are a structured and engaging way to learn, with feedback provided in a very timely, consistent and constructive manner. All of the above has contributed to the improvement of his writing. Our son was awarded an academic scholarship to a prestigious private school in Melbourne. We believe that having writing classes at Clever Fox for 4 months helped him get over the line for this scholarship.

Darren
Parent of Year 3 child

The first thing I noticed about Amber was her detailed feedback, meticulously tailored to suit my daughter's learning needs. Not only this, she responded to my questions with the same level of interest, care and support. This made me rest assured when entrusting my daughter's learning journey to Amber, as I know she will attend to her individual needs. My daughter's writing has come forward in leaps and bounds in a very short time. The materials provided by Clever Fox are extremely helpful, carefully crafted, and outstanding in both content and quality. As a result, my daughter is becoming more familiar with complex sentences and language and is confident when using them in her work. Amber's unwavering encouragement and support has lifted her spirits and I look forward to seeing her continual improvement. Amber's care and sincere concern for her students' growth and development is unparalleled. Like me, you will only wish you occasioned upon her sooner.

Ayishah
Parent Year 6

It’s an absolute pleasure to write this review for Amber and her writing course because it’s truly well deserved! This is, without doubt, the best and most comprehensive children’s writing course you could wish to sign up for. The programme is superbly structured and professionally put together with a lot of thought and care so that children won’t be overwhelmed at the beginning and can progress at their own pace. And just how Amber manages to keep the children engaged for TWO hours is beyond me – but somehow she manages it beautifully in a pleasant, calm and respectful manner – but, at the same time, not allowing any interruptions or fidgeting etc… MANY MANY thanks Amber – as Albert Einstein said, “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge”
