Stop searching, you've found the best. Claire exceeded all our expectations and despite our son having additional needs Claire coached him from a borderline D/C to an A.
From Mitch
So grateful and relieved we found Claire. Her expertise and ability to make the top grades so accessible for my children was incredible to watch. She took my son from a 6 to level 9 at GCSE and my daughter from C to A* at A level. This would have been impossible without Claire.
From Lance
Miraculous! Claire took our son from grade D to grade A; we really hit the jackpot finding Claire. Worth every penny!
From Evelyne
The Best. We tried lots of A level tutors before we found Claire and none of them came close to being able to do what Claire can do. Prior to Claire we felt we were letting our daughter down by not being able to give our daughter the expert support she needed. Every day we feel blessed Claire came into our lives and got our daughter to the magical grade A we know she deserved.
From Sanjay
A God send! So glad we found Claire when we did. We've tried other tutors but they could only get my son so far. He really needed a grade A for medicine and despite working all the hours God sent he couldn't get past a B until he started working with Claire. From the first lesson we knew we had found our golden expert. Our son surpassed his hopes and came away with an "A star" grade and his first choice university place. We will be forever grateful to Claire for everything she did for our son and his (now bright) future.
From George
Truly an inspiration. You raised my daughter's A level grade to an incredible A*. She couldn't have done it without your help and we will be eternally grateful to you. A huge thank you Claire.
From Richard
You get what you pay for, Claire is phenomenal. Before we met Claire our son was working hard but wasn't getting the grades he needed to study Medicine. Claire turned everything around for him and took him from a D/C to a strong A*. We are thankful we found you when we did, and for opening up the opportunities for our son's future.
From Thomas
I appreciate what you have done for my daughter. She has gone from a C to an A* in her exams. It's really amazing that you can raise her grade from C to A* in just a few months. Thank you we both really appreciate all the help and support you have given us both!
From Jane
Exceptional is not a word we use often, but Claire is just that.
Our daughter’s endeavour to succeed in biology were just not clicking into place. After a little research we came upon Claire’s reviews. Being totally honest we were sceptical, could any tutor really be that good?
The answer is yes. In just 8 lessons, our daughter had a major transformation. Improving her grade from a C in her mocks to an A in her A levels. Our daughter still worked hard, but without a doubt Claire made the difference. We cannot thank you enough, she could not have done it without you!
From Helen
Claire has been tutoring my son in A level biology for a couple of months now, and within a short space of time her teaching methods made a noticeable difference to the standard of his work. Recent exams highlighted this, as his grade went from a C to an A, very impressive and we are delighted. I hope that with continued tutoring from Claire the top grade of A* will be in reach for him, her knowledge of how to answer questions in the correct way, and her clear teaching style and excellent PowerPoint presentations are invaluable. Thank you Claire!
From Luke
To raise my son from an A/B to an A* we needed an expert to focus on exam technique, and that is exactly what we found in Claire! Thank you for everything you have done Claire, he couldn't have done it without you.
From Christopher
Exceptional. My son made an immediate connection with Claire. I listened into the lessons and she has a knack of explaining complex material and exam technique in an easy to digest way.
From Jonathan
From Grade D to A* in 4 months. Claire you are a legend.
From Daniel
At the end of Year 12 my son Michael achieved a U in his Biology. He wanted to do Medicine and needed an A*. After much deliberation over price we decided to take a chance on Claire and boy was it the right decision.
Last week he got an A* in his mocks. But not only that…
He achieved the HIGHEST mark in his year!! Outstanding achievement Claire.
From David
Danielle went from C to A* in 2 months all thanks to Claire. I don’t know how she does it and I don't care. Very Highly recommended.
From Lucy
Absolutely first rate. Claire's expertise in teaching the exam technique combined with her passion and ability to connect with my daughter's needs got my daughter from a C/D to an A, so now both her future and her place on the medicine course are secured. Thank you Claire!
From Ben
Expensive and worth every penny.
7 years of Independent School and my son gets a D in his Biology Mocks. 4 months with Claire and he is on A*.
Warm, Accessible, caring and gets the job done. Don’t waste money on cheap tutors.
From Michael
I have nominated Claire for the “Global Outstanding Teacher” Award because she truly is inspiring.
Despite the learning challenges my son brings she has managed to bring the subject to life for him and in just 5 months he has improved from U to A* in his recent mocks.
Thank you for fitting us into your busy schedule Claire. He will always be grateful.
From Dr Stephen
Claire is an excellent tutor, with a phenomenal knowledge of the exam technique required to excel in A level Biology. In year 12 my son’s confidence took a real dive, and despite working really hard he couldn’t seem to push above grade D in the tests. My son and I had an initial consultation with Claire and she was able to quickly pinpoint the specific issues my son was having and, most importantly, a specific plan to solve the issues. I could tell from my son's reaction during that initial consultation that a weight had been lifted as he knew Claire would be able to guide him to get the grade A he desperately wanted. In the end he did better than any of us ever thought possible and got an A* ! We are all so grateful to Claire for everything she has done for us, we couldn’t have done it without her. Definitely highly recommended!
From Ramesh
Claire is the best there is. Simple. Highly recommended on every level. Thank you for everything. 100% worth every penny.
From HH
Claire is an excellent, professional tutor. My son excelled in his biology A-Level exam. Thank you very much for your great help! Highly recommended!
From Jinous
Claire is a brilliant Biology tutor. She helped my daughter with A-Level Biology and as a result, she got an A* which is amazing. This means my daughter was able to confirm a spot at her chosen university and will start studying medicine this year! I strongly recommend Claire to everyone as she makes a huge difference and helps you get the results you want. Thank you for being so enthusiastic and dedicated to helping my daughter.
From Tony
My friend said Claire was too expensive and left her son with a standard tutor. We chose Claire. My daughter improved by 4 grades and got an A*. My friends daughter stayed on a D. For me, investing in my daughter is more important than anything and she is so happy with her A*. My friend is less happy.
From Arthur
She got an A*!!!! To be honest we thought long and hard as to whether it was worth investing this much in our daughter’s future. Your fee is higher than others. But we are SO glad we did!!! To give you credit you said you could take her from Grade E to A* in a few months and somehow, I don’t know how, you did it!!!!!
We are over the moon Claire thank you so much, suddenly your fee seems cheap compared to what she will earn with such a high A level grade!!! Yay!!! We are on a high thank you!!
From Bhanu
Claire is an engaging tutor and my daughter really enjoyed lessons with her. She was very patient, very very resourceful and made A Level Biology easy to understand. The lessons are flexible in terms of content taught. She goes through many past papers and is able to answer any questions, even outside lesson time. My daughter achieved an A* in her A Level and that is thanks to Claire!
From Joseph
I chose Claire from a list of Elite Tutors. My son went from Grade E to A* in 2 months and is now looking at Oxbridge applications. My friend’s daughter has a standard tutor and they have made hardly any progress. I don’t usually bother writing reviews but I want you to know Claire how much we value you, and how much you have changed my son’s life.
From Pete
A* Marvellous! So lucky to have found you when we did. Before we met Claire my son had been working hard but couldn't seem to get the grades he needed. Once he started having tuition with Claire everything fell into place and he jumped from a B to an A* ! Absolutely marvellous - thank you!
From sam
So grateful Claire was able to fit us in! She made even the most difficult of topics easy to understand and taught Sam how to answer the questions in such a way as to get full marks. We were delighted when Sam got his A*, thank you for all your hard work, enthusiasm and dedication, we really appreciate it.
From Morgan
We would like to thank Claire for her help and support with our Sons Biology exam preparation. Claire accommodated us with every lesson request and our Son has gained more in-depth knowledge than he did during his time at college which was cut short due to COVID. With Claire’s fantastic teaching skills and the way she approaches each lesson my Son feels confident that he will achieve his required A level grade. I would not hesitate to recommend Claire to any parent that is looking to find a Biology teacher to help with their child’s studies or exam preparation. Fingers crossed Claire he achieves his required grade. Good luck with everything you do in the future.
From Isabella
Ben went from D to A* - all thanks to Claire. He not only progressed dramatically, he enjoyed the lessons so much that he decided to do Biology at University. You are an inspiration Claire. A complete Godsend. Fantastic. Enthusiastic. The perfect tutor. Seriously, just try her you won’t regret it for a second.
From William
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Claire we got an A*… Oxford here we come! You truly are a miracle worker. Thank you for all your invaluable help and support. There is no way we would have increased our grade so much without your help. Don’t waste money on Independent school like we did, just use Claire.
From Aamaal
Claire is an excellent tutor, ensuring I understand everything we go through. She has been tutoring me for around 6 months and she has really increased my confidence in Biology. I look forward to every lesson I have with Claire and she is clearly very passionate about teaching. I am a private candidate and Claire ensures I have the relevant content for my exam board by sending me powerpoints and exam questions. She goes through all exam techniques and being an examiner, ensures I use the main keywords in the mark schemes. Thank you very much!
Update: After having been predicted a low B, I received an A* thanks to Claire's excellent techniques and motivation!
From David
We were lucky enough to get a slot with Claire and my son went from Grade E to A*. She not only taught my son how to learn and revise properly, she also went through all the key elements that she knew would come up in the exam (she is an examiner) and taught him how to answer the questions in order to get the marks. Before Claire, he knew many topics well but didn’t know how to get the marks in his answers. She gets to the point, my son really enjoyed the sessions and I do not hesitate to recommend her to you.
From Clive
Hannah got an A* and into Cambridge! I am sure it is all down to you Claire. We cannot thank you enough for somehow improving her grade so much (from a C!). You said she would and she did!
From Boyd
Claire is an examiner, and has completely changed the trajectory of my daughters life. You will not find better guaranteed. My friends went for cheaper standard tutors and now are regretting it. Oxford University here we come. You said you would, and you did it Claire. We cannot thank you enough.
From Alex
My son improved from E to A*. I cannot thank you enough Claire for everything you did. You went above and beyond all our expectations. As you know we were unsure of paying so much for tutoring at first, but I now see that you are cheap compared to the earning power you have given my son with such a great grade. I cannot stop recommending you to my friends. To try tutoring with Claire is to love tutoring with Claire.
From Moeen
Fantastic tutor. Really helped target my sons weaker points and improved his exam/test results.
From Thomas
Our son found Claire very easy to work with. She was very engaging and explained detail with clarity and in a way that made it easily understandable. Hopefully with Claire’s help he will achieve the results he wants.
From Michael
Claire is an extremely enthusiastic biology teacher who clearly enjoys teaching. She has helped our daughter re- engage with her subject and improve her grade after a difficult time through lockdown. We are very grateful for all her helpful input.

From Akshaiyan
Claire spends a lot of time and effort in her lesson, where she helps me to remember important mechanisms in Biology using mnemonics and helping me understand topics in great but relevant detail.
Aksh
From Dr Raj
Claire has been very helpful with our son’s understanding of the topics and revisions. She is also helping him with his exam techniques. Her lessons are engaging and lively. Our son looks forward to his lessons with her.
From CERYS
We are so glad we found Claire after the first lockdown. She has been excellent and very understanding and supportive of my daughter's learning. It has been such a support to know Claire is there to explain things and help with exam technique. It has really helped to develop my daughter's understanding of key topics and this has boosted her confidence in Biology as well as her motivation as she feels she is achieveing.
From Bhamini
Our son who is moving on to year 13 in September has improved his exam techniques which are necessary with Claire’s help and really feels confident about achieving the higher grade in Biology in order to apply for medicine. Clare’s assistance has been an enormous boost for his confidence in Biology! Thank you very much Claire. Mrs Murray
From William
Claire has exceeded all expectations! I now understand topics I never thought I would AND am getting full marks in exam questions now! Thank you Claire!
From Dr Andrew
Claire is by far the BEST tutor! She is FANTASTIC! We are so thankful we found her! My son is applying for medicine and Claire knows exactly how to explain complex concepts so my son understands AND gets full marks in the exam questions. THANK YOU CLAIRE!
From Chandan
Claire is an exceptional tutor who has really helped me improve and boost my confidence in Biology this year! Having studied A level biology with her for just over a year has been extremely effective and exciting! She helped me unclog the most difficult topics plus, her bubbly spirit and enthusiasm has made biology a subject that I can thoroughly enjoy and look forward to study! You never have to be afraid to ask her to go over something again and again because she willingly does so until you grasp the concept fully. From a very age early age up until I had Claire as a tutor, biology was always a subject I struggled with and it always demotivated me. Within a year of studying with Claire, that view has completely transformed into a “I really enjoy biology”. Never in a million years did I think I’d utter those words but I’m so glad I can now! My only regret being that I didn’t start with her sooner! Thank you for all your help Claire! :) I recommend Claire to anyone who requires help in biology!
From Beverley
Claire has been a godsend to us during C19 whilst our daughter was unable to attend 6th form. We had booked Claire prior to this and weren't we lucky. Our daughter has completely turned a corner with A level biology. Prior to this she had lost her Mojo. Claires flexibility, ability to engage and quality of teaching style, tools and methods has been a turning point. In addition continuing to support during C19. Teachers at our daughters school are heaping praise for her improved ability during C19 - all down to Claire. I would not hesitate to highly recommend.
From Tracy
Claire is an excellent tutor. My son passed his GCSE combined science with excellent grades and his understanding and confidence improved greatly. Claire was very approachable and flexible and I would highly recommend her.
From Tanweer
So far so good She is a good tutor and explains every thing in a clear and concise manner HOPEFULLY this will be very productive relationship
From Odile
Mrs helped my daughter with sciences and made sure that she understood by making her explain back to her. Very kind and patient.
From Tim
We are very happy to give the highest endorsement of Claire.

From Beverley
Claire. Thanks for all your support. My daughter developed in confidence and you helped to consolidate her learning from school … just waiting for the results! Xx
From Natallia
My son really enjoyed lessons with Claire and told that they were very helpful in preparation for his science GCSEs. Claire is very good teacher and after every lesson my son was very interested and at home continued to look at the subject. I highly recommend Claire as very good tutor.
From Ibraaheem
From Adele
Claire has tutored my daughter AQQ A level Biology since Summer 17. Her predicted grade has improved from a D/E to B in that time. Claire has provided excellent support both during set times and queries outside, providing plenty of material for the week between sessions. The sessions were tailored to my daughters needs, with Claire adapting throughout the year as confidence and understanding improved. I would confidently recommend Claire to any parent looking for a tutor.
From Stephen
Ella is enjoying her biology lessons. Thanks again. Steve
From Keely
My son had occasional sessions with Claire to boost his confidence for A-level Biology. He really enjoyed each session and became more positive overall for his A- level course. It must have worked as he chose to study Biology at University!
