Recent testimonials

“Clare has been a very good tutor for my son, year 11. Unfortunately, the virus situation cut short our work together. Clare is patient and adaptable. English isn’t my son’s favourite subject so Clare adapted the plan to suit his needs and willingness! Clare has very good insight into what the papers are asking of the candidate. Thank you Clare – very happy to recommend you.”
Tracey G (2020)

“My daughter Astrid grades improved heavily whilst working with Clare, she felt much more confident in her English language and literature, and Clare could answer questions in a different way to her school teacher. Clare is an experienced, friendly and helpful tutor who we do not hesitate to recommend.”

Dawn N (2020)

“Clare is a very patient and thorough teacher and has enabled my son’s confidence to grow and develop with his English skills. Due to corona virus the teaching unfortunately had to come to an end. If my son does not pass this summer then we will be one of the first to recommence his tuition. Clare was highly recommended to me by a friend and I am very thankful for this. I highly recommend her too.”

“I’m sure you will be as delighted as we are that that elusive B in (A Level) English Lit was nailed – no small thanks to your steer, patience, advice and guidance. There is a tremendous value in extra confidence building in subjects needing some help and Hannah really benefitted from working with you this year. On a personal level I would like to thank you for helping Hannah along the path to her goal, something I hadn’t the skills and knowledge to provide but knew she needed a lift in confidence to achieve. Thank you for being that lift.. It has made a huge difference to her aspirations, both before the exams, and towards her degree path. Thanks.”
