About Claire
I hold an MA in English Language and Literature from Oxford University and I am a qualified CELTA teacher. Previously a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, I worked in the City for 8 years as well as advising the Cabinet Office as an independent qualified lawyer. Having taught English for over a decade now, I am now studying for another MA in English Education at UCL in my free time. I teach English language and literature at GCSE and A-Level, in particular providing additional tuition and exam revision lessons. For younger students, I support students at KS2 and KS3 as well as preparing students for the English part of the 11+ and Common Entrance/ pre-tests.

Younger students
I have extensive experience preparing students for exams from the 11+, Common Entrance and Pre-Tests. All of my students have got into top schools in London - both private and state including Westminster, City, Francis Holland, St Paul's, Henrietta Barnett and Latymer. I have also prepared students for entrance exams to some of the UK's top boarding schools, with my students getting into a variety of schools including Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Walthamstow Hall, Millfield and Dulwich College.
Older students
I provide additional lessons for those with a wide variety of needs. I have given lessons to gifted students to stretch them to reach their full potential grade 9s - particularly those with confidence issues. I have helped two students both predicted a 3, desperate for the all-important 4, get a 5 and 7. For some, I have provided weekly lessons from Year 9 through to Year 11, (and in two cases, I have provided tutoring through their A-Levels as well). In contrast, I have seen some students for a few four-hour sessions of intensive revision before exams. However, I also regularly provide gifted children with additional lessons. As well as preparing students in the run up to A-Levels, I have assisted them with their personal (“UCAS”) statement for applications to UK universities and with the preparation for the ELAT (for Cambridge University) and US SATs. I also help with preparation for interviews at top universities, with some of my former students going to Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and Harvard to date.
Overseas Students
I provide online tuition for overseas students applying to UK schools, who want to prepare for entrance exams or to improve their English generally. I also coach students for interviews at UK boarding schools.
English as a Foreign/ Second Language:
I first taught EFL in 2002, while still at university and I am now CELTA qualified. I have taught EFL to children as young as 6 as well as adults, and to students with a wide variety of mother tongues (Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic).
Adults
I now teach a number of businessmen and lawyers who wish to improve their business and/or legal English (due to my previous experience working in the City as a lawyer). These lessons are both private as well as those provided by employers.

Claire has tutored my 10 year old for 20 months. She is patient, kind, caring and we like her very much. My daughter’s comprehension and written skills have improved a lot and she is certainly much more confident when completing work, both in the classroom and at home. I would definitely recommend Claire.
I cannot recommend Claire more highly. She tutored my daughter GCSE English and English literature. She is an inspiring, kind, thorough and results driven teacher. She is extremely committed to her students and goes above and beyond the call of duty to help her students achieve their full potential. She is organised, thorough, intelligent but above all she instills in her students confidence that they can achieve all they set out to do. We cannot thank her enough for all she has done.
Claire is an amazing English tutor who has supported me throughout my exams and helped me gain confidence in my English. She is patient, encouraging and always makes sure I feel fully prepared. She is now helping me prepare for the LNAT, and I couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you Claire
Claire has been my English tutor for a few years now and has really helped me a lot with my essay writing and comprehensive skills. She was part of my mum's book club so I started having lessons with her and I have greatly improved. She helps me with similar work to what I am studying for school and her teaching methods are exquisite. If I could I would definitely rate the help 5!
I would highly recommend Claire as a school tutor. She worked with my son with English and made a remarkable difference to his confidence, engagement, and progress. Claire has a wonderful ability to connect with children, adapting her teaching style to keep lessons interesting, enjoyable, and tailored to their individual needs. She quickly identified areas where my son needed additional support and explained concepts in a way that was easy for him to understand. Most importantly, she genuinely engaged him in learning, helping him develop both his skills and his confidence. Her patience, encouragement, and dedication have had a lasting positive impact, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to other parents seeking a supportive and highly effective tutor.
Heartfelt recommendation for a wonderful tutor.
Finding a brilliant tutor is rare, but finding someone who remains a dedicated educator and mentor for over 6 years is truly special. Claire has guided both of our daughters through their English education with incredible skill and kindness. She has a remarkable ability to make challenging concepts easy to understand and always create an encouraging environment where it is safe to make mistakes and learn. Our daughters moved from a mentality of " i can't do it, I suck at English, it is too hard" to " I know how to do that".I first met Claire nearly two years ago when I was looking to improve my A-level English grade. I particularly appreciated her detailed approach to analysing poetry, as well as the useful feedback she gave me on essays and other written work. Thanks to Claire’s help, I improved my English grade by two grades and am now studying History at Durham University.
Claire has been incredibly helpful with our son’s 11+ preparation, building his confidence and improving his English skills. Claire immediately identified areas of weaknesses and continued working to help him improve. She is patient, supportive and explains everything clearly. We are very happy with Claire and would highly recommend her!
Absolutely brilliant teacher! My son had a year with Claire to prepare for the 11+. He loved his lessons and never once complained about the time out of his day. He applied to St Paul’s, UCS and Westminster and got offers from all three. Thank you Claire!
I’m delighted to recommend Claire who is a really outstanding tutor; amongst the Hampstead mums, she is our secret weapon! After several false starts with others, I was given Claire’s name by a friend. She is extremely well qualified and this is her full-time job. She taught my eldest daughter from year 7 through to A level and they still keep in touch, she loved her lessons. My second daughter was underachieving and not very motivated, she started in year 10 and raised her grades from 4 to an 8 with Claire’s help. My youngest son is quick to make excuses and dash off his homework set by Claire, but I’m glad to say she keeps in close touch to ensure that we work together to make sure he achieves what he is capable of. Claire has a real rapport with children and teenagers who love their lessons and her!
Claire was very professional and got excellent results.
Claire is a patient and understanding tutor who gets great results from her students. Would highly recommend her.
