Hi there, I’m Claire
Professional History and essay writing tutor (over a decade of experience).
Effective and friendly tuition.
University of Oxford, BA History (Double First).
About
Do you want to avoid wasting your time with someone who has taken up tutoring to get some extra pocket money? I am a professional tutor who offers an excellent value, top-quality service.
My tried and tested approach to tuition:
• Systematic coverage of the syllabus and the skills that you need to succeed in the exams.
• Tailored to your specific needs and learning style.
• Fun and down-to-earth style of teaching.
• Supportive and patient while believing in your ability to achieve your targets.
• Added extra! I bring a creative approach to my teaching. In fact I have an MA in Art and when not teaching I am painting in my studio.​
Experience
Twelve years and counting of tutoring experience at a top London agency, with students at top schools including Eton, Westminster and St Pauls. I have also taught in China, the USA and Japan.
Completed teacher training courses (Keystone Tutors, The Royal Drawing School, and Oxbridge Summer Camps Abroad).
I have a proven track record in tutoring History and writing skills. I help high-flying students comfortably secure those top grades, using my Oxford Double First History degree experience.
I am especially proud of my record in helping struggling students to really turn things around, hugely boosting their confidence and translating that into exam grades that exceed expectations, going up one, two, or even three grade boundaries.
Are writing skills holding you back? I love to help students get their ideas onto paper. In fact I used to find essay writing difficult in school too. But I taught myself how to do it well enough to excel in a History degree at Oxford and I even won an award for my dissertation! I know from experience that I can teach these skills to others.
