About Clare
I retired recently from English Language and Literature teaching as Head of English as a Second Language at a leading independent school. I am a graduate in English Language and Medieval Literature from Durham University (BA Honours) with Latin; I also hold a PGCE from Durham and a Masters in Education from Birmingham University. I have had an extremely diverse teaching career in both mainstream and special schools and have loved every minute! My interests are extremely varied: I speak three European languages, am now learning Spanish and Ancient Greek and am passionate about the Classical world and Art History.

My lessons can be 30 minutes or an hour and all are carefully tailored to meet each individual student's specific linguistic needs, whatever their level of proficiency in Language and Literature. With 40 years of teaching experience in SEN, EFL, (including FCE/ IELTS and GCSE ESL qualifications/ Cambridge/ Edexcel); GCSE Language and Literature and A Level, my enthusiasm and commitment to inspiring a sheer love of all things in Language remain undiminished despite retirement from the classroom!

Clare, is really helping my daughter. She is very happy to be flexible and work in a way that suits my daughter. She is always well prepared for the lessons.
I would highly recommend Clare.Clare was highly recommended to me when my Grandson, Ewan, needed extra tuition in English language in advance of him taking his GCSE examination. Ewan readily and happily attended the lessons with Clare and definitely grew more confident with preparing and writing his English essays, resulting in Ewan receiving a successful GCSE English grade.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Clare for 30 years both as a teaching colleague and a friend.
Clare's excellent professional standards enabled her to work effectively, collaboratively and sensitivity with pupils with a range of ability and varying cultural backgrounds.
She was a very conscientious and gifted English teacher, very sensitive to her pupils' strengths and individual needs, providing interesting, stimulating and relevant activities. Most importantly she consistently achieved good results and delivered all expectations.
Clare's additional qualities displayed include: honesty, good communication, and an ability to work hard.
Her personal attributes and strengths are her wonderful sense of humour, intelligence, reliability and her pleasant and courteous demeanour.I have known Clare for very many years.She is a very experienced and committed teacher with vast experience , having taught in a variety of settings and with many age groups . She has a great rapport with children and young people and has a clear passion for English teaching . Clare will be well prepared, reliable and and a great help to anyone who needs her support and teaching skills .
