Meet Clare, a Private Online 11+ English Tutor

As a shy child, I know the struggle of lacking self-confidence. I learned to become confident as a teacher. I remember the fear of facing a room of curious eyes and thinking I had two choices, either to run away or embrace the challenge. Stepping outside of my comfort zone was a decision that changed my life. I love empowering driven children to discover their own confidence so they can unlock their full potential.

After nearly a decade teaching at Thomas’s London Day School, Fulham, Putney High Junior School, The Roche School and Eaton House the Manor in Clapham, I returned to my Devon roots in 2019 to become a full-time, private online English tutor.

The 11-Plus exams for top grammar and independent schools remain fiercely competitive. Supporting your child to reach their full potential is a valuable investment in their education, happiness and success.

Are you looking for English tuition that combines challenge and compassion, while fostering joy and confidence ?  If so, I’d love to help! This unique blend in my teaching style sets me apart as a private tutor.

While I’ll provide gentle guidance, I won’t hesitate to point out areas to develop. My suggestions may differ from your initial expectations. However, success often requires stepping outside of our comfort zone and as such, my private one-to-one tuition isn’t for everyone. 

It’s aimed at ambitious, focused students who lack confidence in their English skills to shine. I work with forward-thinking, down-to-earth parents who are ready to take feedback onboard in the pursuit of success. I’m particularly passionate about supporting girls to believe in their strengths and pursue their dream goals.

A successful private tuition journey is similar to a team sport, with parents, tutor and child on the same team. Let’s guide your child to more confidence, personal and academic success. 

I help children from both state and private schools gain admission to top UK schools such as, King’s College Wimbledon, Emanuel, Wimbledon High, Francis Holland, Putney High, Alleyn’s School, Latymer, Tiffin, Dame Alice Owen’s, Latymer Upper, Whitgift, Winchester, St. Paul’s, Brighton College and Dulwich College.

I’m here to help your academically bright child achieve their English goals, regardless of your location or desired UK school.

If your child isn’t planning to take the 11-Plus exam but wants to strengthen their passion for creative storytelling, I can support them with their goals. My premium fees reflect my experience and expertise. Aside from my work, I love beaches, well-behaved dogs, books and good coffee!

If you think your child is ready to benefit from my tuition, I highly recommend you get in touch—I’d love to hear from you!
