Experience: School students and exams:

Claire has tutored students in a wide range of situations - for example, she has provided additional lessons for some students for three years prior to their GCSEs as well seeing students just for a few sessions of intensive revision before exams. She prepares students for exams from the 11+ to A-Levels and several for the ELAT (for Cambridge University).

She has also provided gifted children with additional lessons in the run up to A-Levels, as well as assisting them in preparation for interviews at top universities.

English as a Foreign/ Second Language:

Claire first taught EFL in 2002, while still at university and she is now CELTA qualified. She has taught EFL to children as young as 6 as well as adults and to students with a wide variety of mother tongues (Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic).

Claire now teaches a number of businessmen and lawyers who wish to improve their business and/or legal English (due to her previous experience working in the City as a lawyer). These lessons are both private as well as those provided by employers.

Claire is a very good tutor, very professional, organised, knowledgeable and patient. My son enjoyed his English lessons with Claire very much and she definitely had a massively positive impact on his attitude to English. Going to an international IB system school, my son found it difficult to tackle exams (in particular writing and comprehension sections of the entrance exams) and therefore lacked confidence. After a few sessions with Claire, he was able to approach the questions more confidently and successfully. Definitely recommend Claire!

Claire is an excellent tutor. She knows exactly what to do in terms of needs of a child. She has got a very wise individual attitude to the student. She taught my two girls. One for 11 plus and another for GCSE. Both were very happy with these lessons. She has taught them really well and the results are very very good. Moreover she is a very intelligent, honest, polite and kind person herself and it was pleasure to meet her. I`ve been very lucky to find her profile on the tutorhunt. I would highly recommend her!!

Claire is an exceptional tutor that has inspired my daughter beyond my expectations. My daughter Poppy was failing English Literature the year before her GCSE and was estimated a grade 4 (D) she had no love for the subject completely unenthused and had no understanding of planning or how to put her points across.I found Claire through the website Tutor Hunt and a year on Poppy has excelled with Claire`s help. Poppy was achieved a grade 8 (A*) in her GCSE and has decided to do English Literature as one of her A levels.

Claire is the most dedicated and loyal tutor we have ever known. She has tutored our 16yr old for 8 months and has helped her beyond words can describe. We all highly recommend this very experienced and capable tutor!! Claire sets homework, sends Lily home with specific tasks to re practise, works with her from our home, her home or Lily`s school... she is dedicated to helping our daughter who struggled to even get a pass. Lily is now 4 grades above! Thanks Claire!!!

I was looking for a very a tutor for my brother for a very short time till his gcse english exam and found Claire. She was amazing and prepared him for his exam even within this very short time limit and she was willing to take time out from her free time watch the literature movies with him to make him understand the text better.
I will 100% recommend her.
