I'm Clare, a qualified teacher & specialist creative writing tutor
After almost a decade of teaching in some of London’s top independent schools, I became a full time private English tutor in 2020, practising my winning formula for success: ‘challenge with compassion.’ I returned to my Devon roots in 2019.
All schools face the same limitations in the learning environment: time constraints in class, peer pressure, a lack of resources for individual growth and too little time to think and develop ideas.
Children can be lost in such environments where the challenge is presented, but the necessary nurture is lacking. I am able to provide both challenge and compassion, slowing down the creative process, focusing on individualised feedback and empowering children to thrive and achieve their dreams.
I love helping bright, conscientious children feel confident for exams and in life. I especially enjoy empowering girls’ confidence, helping them to overcome individual barriers to success – reach for the stars without hesitation!
