Nurture Your Imagination. Discover Your Voice.
About Amy Lamorna
I’m Amy Lamorna Ireland, the founder of Lamorna Academy – an educator with over 11 years of experience as an English teacher with a master’s degree in education, specialising in creative writing. As a former Head & Deputy Head of English, I understand the importance of a strong narrative arc, nuanced character development, and language that not only engages but endures—leaving a lasting impression on both the heart and the mind. My passion lies in helping students unlock their creativity, refine their storytelling skills, and develop a deep appreciation for the written word.
As a published author, I understand the power of language and the importance of nurturing individual voices. Lamorna Academy is built on the belief that everyone has a story to tell, and my mission is to guide and inspire students on their journey to becoming confident, skilled writers.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your writing abilities, prepare for exams, or simply explore your creative potential, Lamorna Academy offers expert guidance tailored to your needs. I look forward to supporting you on your literary adventure!
