Claire

I have 40 years of teaching experience. I was Head of Department for Computer Science at secondary level. I have had a great deal of success at teaching at GCSE level and A level and have seen several of my pupils achieve the very top results in the country. I am now available for private tutoring in Maths to GCSE and preparation for 11+ and school entrance exams. I am married with three grown up children.

Tutoring Experience

I have had three pupils achieve “top five” status (ie top five individual pupils, not merely top 5%) in the country at GCSE level – two for ICT and one for BCS(Business Communication Systems). A very large majority of my pupils at GCSE level – in ICT and BCS – have achieved grade A or A* – this from pupils of mixed abilities. Similarly a very large majority of my pupils at A-level Computing have gained grade A or B. Of my A-level pupils who have gone on to study Computing and related subjects at university, many have gained first class honours and some have been awarded “best in year” and “best overall” prizes at UCL and Imperial College. During the last six years I have been providing private tuition in Maths and Computer science from Key stage 2 through to GCSE level.

Tutoring Approach

I have the ability to communicate effectively to pupils of all abilities. I make a point of ensuring that pupils always have the understanding they need, and will keep working at a problem, tackling it in different ways as necessary, until I know that they have grasped it.I have been very successful in helping pupils to gain the GCSE grade they aspire to, particularly pupils who find maths really difficult.
