About Amy

Hello! I’m Amy (or Dr Amy McKernan, if you want to be formal about it). I’m an educational consultant, editor, writer, and researcher with expertise in inclusive education, trauma-informed learning, digital education, and research integrity.

Services

  • As a consultant, I work with individuals, businesses, and NGOs at any stage of the educational design cycle – from research, to design, to implementation, to evaluation. I specialise in programs that are designed for inclusion and diversity, working with clients to ensure that learning experiences are meaningful to learners and deliver what is needed.

  • Writing educational programs and resources remains one of my favourite things to do. As a qualified and experienced educator, I can create your educational offerings to be inclusive, inspirational, and meaningful for diverse learners.

  • As a former academic in education, I have a really strong background in research. I can help you research your educational offerings, including evaluating existing programs to establish their efficacy and develop an evidence base for scaling up and seeking further funding.

  • I offer proofreading, copyediting, and structural/substantive editing services for educational institutions, academics, students, and other businesses. I am an experienced editor journal articles, reports, books, and other academic and educational texts.

    I also offer thesis editing and formatting services in line with the IPEd's (the Institute for Professional Editors) Guidelines for Editing Research Theses. I work mostly with students using APA7 but I am also familiar with Chicago (author-date and notes/bibliography). To inquire about thesis editing, please submit the form on my contact page.

  • I work with early career academics to develop writing skills for academic publications and theses. I help clients work through writing blocks, understand the processes of academic publishing, and hone their academic expression and referencing skills.
