Meet Clare, The Founder

I’m Clare, the founder of Creative Hare, established when I started tutoring children in southwest London. I finally left London at the end of 2019, after years of trying to escape the Big Smoke, only to find it continually pulling me back in!

I spent nine years teaching in the independent sector in London, including Thomas’s London Day Schools, Fulham and Putney High Junior School. I have been tutoring for even longer.

The most rewarding part of education is seeing children discover that English is more than just a subject—it is a way of communicating and growing in confidence, often in ways they never expected.
