Helped me go from achieve my target of an A in my RS A Level. Really easy to talk to and was quick to identify and strengthen my weaknesses.

After receiving weekly tutoring lessons for A-level religious studies from Claire, I was able to achieve an A in my overall grade. Previously I had been getting C`s consistently, however the personalised sessions where the learning was catered to my strengths + preferred teaching style/method allowed me to excel in my exams. Claire is extremely knowledgable in the field of religious studies, and I found the sessions complemented my classes, allowing more one-on-one time where my unanswered questions were dealt with patience and expertise. Claire is also familiar with the examination process surrounding the A-level, and gaining insight into this allowed me to develop my essay writing skills, alongside strengthening my memory each week. The sessions were flexible, allowing me to cater each hour to my needs and preferred activities, providing essential learning while maintaining an enjoyable element too. I highly recommend Claire.

Claire was an excellent tutor! Very reliable, knowledgable and kind. I improved three grades in A level sociology over the course of the year and ended up getting A*. 100% recommend and she supported me in so many ways, reviewing my essays, giving me extra sources of information and answering any questions.
