Claire

I am an experienced teacher of English and parent to two teenagers. I love to read and I am passionate about encouraging a love of reading and language in the students I teach. Having had a long career in English teaching, I am now working as a Librarian, examiner and tutor and enjoying every second!

Tutoring Experience

I have 30 years of English teaching experience and have worked for 5 of those as a Head of Department. I have always taught across the age and ability range from 11 - 18 and am well respected as a hard working, dedicated teacher who is able to get the best out of every student. I have an excellent track record and am confident that I can help students to see real progress in their learning.

Tutoring Approach

I am committed to developing a strong working relationship with students so that I can get the very best out of them. I use my experience to ascertain the gaps in their skills and knowledge and then devise the most effective method of helping them to make strong progress. I am clear, methodical and encouraging. Warm and friendly, I put young people at ease and instil confidence in them.
