Information about Claire

Hello! My name is Claire, and I graduated from Oxford University with an English degree in 2015. Since then I have completed teacher training and hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Secondary Education, alongside Qualified Teacher Status. In September I am starting a Masters in English at the University of Nottingham. While at Oxford I was trained as a Student Ambassador, so I am also happy to offer tuition on Oxbridge-specific UCAS applications, general and specific personal statement writing, and the interview processes. The rate for this Oxbridge-application tuition will be £40/hour. My approach to tutoring is to work to ensure that the tutee is receiving the help they want and need. I am more than happy to tailor my resources and teaching style to suit you!

Availability: I will have plenty of availability on weekday evenings and weekend daytimes once term commences. Over summer I am more flexible and can also organise weekday daytimes if this is useful for you. I am considering starting group lessons on weekend daytimes over termtime (and perhaps school holidays if there is sufficient interest) and these would be held near the University of Nottingham`s Park Campus.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I won East Midlands Supply Teacher of the Year 2017.

I have experience teaching English from year 7 through to A Level, and have been praised for my enthusiastic and engaging manner with pupils of all ages. I pride myself on my excellent subject knowledge, which I am always working to improve.

I most recently held teaching posts at Bilborough College (KS5 - 2016-2017) and Rushcliffe School (KS3-5 - 2017-2018).

THis is a long time overdue... Claire was a brilliant tutor for my son. She v quickly discerned what his needs were and taught the sessions with a very individualised approach. Her enthusiasm was infectious and motivating. Highly recommend

Claire has been an amazing tutor for my daughter and and she always goes above and beyond to help her inside and outside the sessions. She knows the mark schemes well and my daughter`s essays have improved massively thanks to her. She made my daughter feel comfortable very quickly and takes the time to make the work fun!

We are so glad to have found Claire, my daughter had benefited tremendously from learning English with her. As Albert Einstein once said “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge”. Her lessons are structured, inspired, focus, stimulating, challenged and provided clearly progress results. My daughter is so looking forward to each lesson and love completing her weekly homework as it always provided a good variety and interesting aspect to reinforce what she has learned.

Thank you Claire!!

Tutors Response :

I am so thrilled that you are happy with the lessons - your daughter is a delight to teach and I feel lucky to have been found!

Claire is a wonderful English tutor and I would recommend her to anyone.

I am a naturally shy person, but Claire has so much energy and drive as soon as you meet her, clear that she has a passion for the subject. That, ( even though I enjoy English ), really motivates me to push my ability further and challenge ideas etc.

Claire is very helpful and always willing to answer any queries you have outside sessions so that, you always have that extra support.

Also, from session one, Claire was willing to adjust plans and such for the type of learner I am, which is visual. She printed out sheets that were appealing to me to keep me interested and just in general, made every session one to look forward to.

I don`t think I could have asked for a better English tutor, in my opinion and I just want to thank her for everything.

Tutors Response :

I am thoroughly thrilled that you have been enjoying our sessions, I have! I have been more than happy to try to tailor my teaching style to you. Thank you for your lovely feedback, Katie!

My daughter is very happy with Claire`s teaching style. Lessons are structured and inspirational.
Claire is an extremely professional and pleasant lady, and is highly flexible too.
She is also helping my son with his personal statement for his UCAS application.
Highly recommended.
