Information about Ciara
I`m an experienced, committed and enthusiastic tutor with a 1st class BA(Hons) in English Literature from Cambridge.
I have an adaptive teaching style, and am keenly empathetic and sensitive to the particular requirements of each student. At all levels of tuition I encourage independent thinking and original responses to prompts, focusing not only on results but on the methods behind them.
I have experience tutoring for English language, specific exams (eg GCSE and A Level across all UK exam boards), and interview preparation for Universities (specifically Oxbridge).
Availability: I am available to tutor on weekday evenings and weekends.
Willing to travel: 8 miles
Experience: First class degree in English Literature from the University of Cambridge
Outstanding academic results at A-Level (A* in English, History and French A in AS-level Maths) and at GCSE (6 A*s and 4 As).
I have an extensive background in childcare and teaching, including three months as an au pair and English tutor in Barcelona. I have also previously co-established a contemporary dance school, where I taught children aged 4-12.

Before Ciara started tutoring my son in English I was concerned about him passing his English GCSEs, but after Ciara`s excellent tutoring he got a 6 in both English Language and English Literature and is now about to start studying for an English A level.
Ciara is friendly and knowledgeable and got on well with son, who can be a bit touchy.
Having done the exams not too long ago herself, Ciara had a good insight into the questions that would come up in the exam and how to answer them.
Ciara was always professional and turned up when she said she would.
I would highly recommend Ciara.
