Clare

I have a passion for supporting those students who find their learning challenging (with or without a specific learning difficulty). I enjoy helping to ease their stress and frustration by seeking out suitable tailored strategies to support their learning.

My approach to tutoring:
I believe everyone learns differently so I take a flexible and multi sensory approach to ensure I meet your needs.

You can expect the following:
- A personalised and targeted programme designed to meet your specific needs.
- A nurturing environment, with an emphasis on making learning fun.
- Regular feedback on learning and progress.
- A comfortable and supportive learning environment.

Availability: During school term time please contact me for availability as I work various part time hours.

Over the school holidays (half terms, Easter and Summer holidays) please contact me for my availability.

During holiday times and sometimes during term time I would also be willing to offer more intensive tutoring programs. These would be tailored to the student.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I live in West Oxfordshire and have recently been teaching in a part time role supporting students with specific learning difficulties for a further education college. I have been teaching for 17 years and graduated with an English degree in 1994 From the University of Southampton. I gained my PGCE in 2003 with Oxford Brookes University and a Diploma in Teaching Learners with Dyslexia/Specific Learning Difficulties in 2017.

I have taught in a variety of environments including two other colleges in Oxfordshire, the Oxfordshire Dyslexia Association, and Thames Valley Probation Service. My experience is with a broad range of students from primary to post compulsory education sectors and includes young people who are looked after and those who have been excluded.

I am also able to deliver study skills for GCSE, A Level and Access students and work based skills for adults wishing to develop in the workplace. Please contact me for details.
