Meet Clare, a Private English Tutor

Education is not just about grades – it is key to helping your child understand their potential and embrace life’s opportunities with more confidence and joy!

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. 

With over 10 years of school teaching experience most of which were in London’s top independent schools including, Thomas’s London Day School, Fulham and Putney High Junior School. I now work directly with down-to-earth families who want the best English coaching for their child. I returned to my Devon roots in 2019 to become an online English tutor and English Learning Consultant.

My private tuition is for academic focused students who tend to be hard on themselves. They grapple with an invisible barrier – a fear of failure. I gently help students face their fears and build real confidence in their English abilities, well beyond the English National Curriculum.

I’ll show you how we can help your child handle setbacks and keep going by believing in themselves. Success starts with creating a space where your child can relax and express themselves.

Why Parents Love My Tuition:

My tailored 11+ English preparation combines academic challenge, empathy and a calm, confidence-building approach to prepare children to thrive in competitive 11 Plus English entrance exams.

My goal is to help children prepare within a realistic timeframe, rather than rushing to merely meet minimum standards. This quality is often missed in ‘basic’ tutoring.

I believe a successful private tuition journey is similar to a team sport, with the parents, tutor and child on the same team. While my private tuition provides relaxed guidance, success often requires stepping outside of our comfort zone and as such, my private tuition is not for everyone. I’m personally passionate about supporting girls to believe in their strengths and pursue their dream goals.

I help children from both state and private schools gain admission to top UK schools including: King’s College Wimbledon, Emanuel, Wimbledon High, Francis Holland, Putney High, Alleyn’s School, Latymer Edmonton, Hampton School, Sutton, Tiffin, Dame Alice Owen’s, Latymer Upper, Kingston Grammar, Colchester County High, Whitgift, Winchester, St. Paul’s, Brighton College and Dulwich College.

Aside from my work, I love beaches, well-behaved dogs, books and good coffee!

If you are ready to help your child excel with my English tuition, I would love to hear from you.
