Claire assisted our family in getting our twins into our top target schools in South London. She is a wonderful 11-plus tutor. We had started with another tutor and moved over to Claire about 6 months before writing. She was friendly and treated both of our girls as individuals. We are so proud of them and thankful to Claire for her guidance and help.
Claire was extremely efficent at assisting my child in passing her GCSE language exam. She provided all of her own made materials for my son to keep. She was kind and made my son laugh in-between learning. I would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their overall mark.
Claire has been tutoring my daughter in key stage 2. She started with my daughter in Year 4 and will continue with her in Year 8. She is friendly, approachable and a great asset to my daughter! I would recommend her to anyone.
Claire assisted my son in preparing for his GCSE language exams recently. Claire did a wonderful job in improving his comprehension skills and creative writing abilities. I would recommend her online lessons to anyone looking for a caring tutor.
Claire was a fantastic tutor who helped prep my child for our move to the UK. My son is in year 6 and really needed some help with maths and English. Claire was very patient and helped him build his confidence! Thank you, Claire
An awesome 11 plus tutor! Thank you for everything! We will be continuing with tuition in Secondary school.
Claire has recently completed tutoring my daughter for IGCSE’s (language). She was fantastic and really helped to build my daughter’s confidence. She set up a Google Classroom page for my daughter so that she can keep all of the resources and helped her particularly with 10 mark questions and her creative writing. Thanks, Claire!
Ms Claire has been a complete Godsent! I have been searching for an experienced, friendly and results-driven tutor for my daughter, as she needed assistance with her speed and accuracy in Maths and English. I will be honest, I was put off by the fact that it was virtual simply because my daughter thrives off in-person learning and loves the one-to-one interaction. I decided to trial the virtual lesson, and after lesson one, my daughter was hooked! She instantly gravitated towards Ms Claire’s remarkable personality. Within a few weeks of attending sessions, my daughter’s teacher approached me and asked what I was doing differently, because she has seen a huge improvement in my daughter’s work. Fast forward to 8 months later, and my daughter is absolutely exceeding her school goals and is consistently performing at a top level. I can’t thank Ms Claire enough! If you are in doubt about Ms Claire, let my testimony be your assurance. Apart from the outstanding results, Ms Claire is very compassionate, patient and understanding. Your child will not only thrive academically, but their confidence will soar through the roof. Hit that send button now, and arrange your trial lesson today because you won’t regret it!
Claire helped my son Jack to prepare for his ISEB exam and prep for the 11 plus. She has helped us narrow down a few excellent North London school options and particularly helped to improve his maths!

BarryClaire has been a fantastic tutor! She assisted my son in prepping for his 11 plus exams.

I would highly recommend Claire as a Math and English tutor for your child - particularly for 11 plus entrance exams. Claire has been working with my daughter for the past few months, and the progress she has made is truly remarkable. My daughter is in Year 6 and has recently been offered a position at a renowned secondary school in North London. Thanks Claire for your help!
I wholeheartedly recommend Claire as a learning support tutor for your child. Claire has been working with my child for the past 6 months, and I have seen tremendous improvement in their academic performance and overall confidence.
Highly recommend Claire. She taught my daughter coding lessons. I was really impressed with how interactive and engaging her lessons were. My daughter has already learned Scratch, Python, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and even how to create an app. Her lessons are fantastic for kids who want to learn to code in a fun way.
Claire has been invaluable in assisting my daughter in preparation for her 11 plus examinations. Claire was patient, kind and my daughter really enjoyed her lessons. She worked closely with her on her Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning skills. I would highly recommend her!
