About Claire
I have been tutoring History GCSE and A-Level for seven years with a top London agency, with students at top schools such as St Pauls and the Harrodian. I have also taught in China, the USA and Japan, and completed teacher training courses with Keystone Tutors, The Royal Drawing School, and Oxbridge Summer Camps Abroad.
I have a BA in History (Double First) from the University of Oxford where I was awarded a scholarship to study at Princeton University and won the Conrad-Russell award for my dissertation.
I have a proven track record in tutoring History and writing skills.
I have helped high-flying students comfortably secure those top grades, using my own background of academic excellence.
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 myself. 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.

Claire is a fantastic tutor. We had tried other tutors before but it had not worked out. We are so glad that we found Claire for A-Level History. Although we were initially hesitant about online tutoring, our experience was very positive. Our daughter found the classes incredibly helpful and enjoyable and saw her confidence improve right away. Claire helped with the content and also with exam technique and our daughter ended up achieving much higher results than had been expected, and enjoyed the classes as well! Claire is an engaging personality who makes the classes interesting and goes above and beyond in preparing each class beforehand very thoroughly. Our daughter felt that in every lesson she was making progress. Claire is also reliable and professional. We can't recommend her highly enough - hire this tutor!
Claire was a fantastic history A-level tutor who broke down complex ideas and chapters into understandable and structured lessons. Having had other tutors in the past, Claire's approach to teaching was refreshing and gave me so much more confidence for my exams.
Claire taught me A-level Russian history last year and I am so happy she did. Claire's lessons broke down hard topics, like political theory, into logical and concise chunks of information that were easier to understand than the textbook! Come exam time, her help with exam-writing skills and essay structure moved me up a grade, which I couldn't have done without her. Thank you Claire!
Claire was an amazing tutor. She gave me the confidence to go into the exam feeling like I knew the facts.
Claire is such an amazing tutor! She's very reliable, knows her history content inside out and comes to every lesson fully prepared with resources. She was incredibly helpful in tutoring me for my IGCSE, helping me to achieve an A*. Thank you very much, Claire! :)
I highly recommend Claire. She gave my daughter the support she needed to regain confidence and motivation, She helped her acquire a set of skills that has proved extremely successful.
My son had Claire as his history tutor for the 2 years of his 'A' level course studying Russia and War of the Roses. When looking for a tutor we were very particular in wanting to find someone who would not just go over what he was learning at school, but add value and this is what Claire does. She comes to every lesson fully prepared, not only with her own resources, but with the curriculum textbooks to hand, is very easy to talk to and always makes what she is teaching enjoyable. What my son found invaluable however, was that she does not just give information for the sake of it. Every lesson was focussed around an exam question, so as well as learning all the key points, more importantly, he knew exactly how to apply them. She also spends time teaching exam technique and essay writing, the result being that my son achieved an A*.
