Claire

I am a very experienced personal tutor and lecturer with over 12 years experience in Sixth Form, Further Education and University with a specific focus on Law (Criminal, Tort and Contract) and English.

In June 2018 I completed three semesters as an Associate Tutor at The University of Surrey, School of Law, lecturing and conducting seminars in Tort and Contract and achieved an Module Evaluation Questionnaire (MEQ) feedback score for Contract and Tort law of 4.8 out of 5.
In Jan- May 2019 I was a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Law, delivering Tort and Contract Workshop/Tutorials.

I am highly motivated and personable and consistently deliver high quality outcomes in partnership with my students.

Tutoring Approach:

The aim of the initial meeting is to review academic needs, willingness to learn and to mutually decide whether we can work together. During the course of the initial meeting the following information is required:

Understanding your needs:

* What are you currently studying?
* What Examination Board(s)?
* What specific areas are you experiencing difficulty with and/or require support?
* What examples of work, assignments and feedback comments do you have available for review?
* When are your examinations, course work deadlines and other key dates that I need to be aware of?
* Are there any personal issues that may adversely affect your studies?
* What do you seek to achieve, what are your aspirations, what constitutes success to you?

Planning together to achieve your goals:

* Gather any additional information that will be helpful in gaining a complete understanding of your needs
* Develop and agree jointly a scheme of work tailored to your individual needs
* Identify and agree evaluation dates
* Agree dates for tutorials and confirm fee rates and travel expenses
* Confirm actions required to be completed prior to our first tutorial

Availability: Weekdays - Monday to Friday including evenings

Willing to travel: Home Only
