40 Years Experience as a Tutor - and I am not what you might think of!

About Stephen

I am a trainer, teacher, teacher trainer, tutor and coach with 38 years of experience. I have lived and worked in Germany, Italy, France, Sweden and the UK. Along the way I have learned to speak French, German, Italian, Swedish and Spanish fluently, and am learning Russian and Chinese Mandarin currently.

I am currently studying to become an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and AWS Certified Solutions Architect through “OPTIMA IT Training”, Harlow since July 2021. I am about to do the Cloud Practitioner exam at the beginning of January 2024

I have worked in businesses of all kinds from small family companies to large multinationals. I have also been employed in kindergarten, primary/elementary, secondary/junior-senior high schools and universities, and language schools throughout Europe.

I have provided guidance and assistance for a huge range of participants of my courses from all over the world, and from all ages and professional backgrounds who have then gone on to engage effectively with international company teams, their clients and suppliers.
My participants have described me as having excellent interpersonal abilities, being empathetic, with excellent listening skills, willing to take the initiative to deal with other people’s challenges and difficulties and sincere in my desire to see them succeed in their course objectives and in meeting their needs.

My team leadership in charge of groups of participants on many hundreds of courses on Coaching and Teacher Training around the UK and in Europe since 2009, has never been called into question by any member of any group, as you can see from the testimonials given on my CV.

Being a teacher and a trainer in new situations, new environments, new companies and new countries demands considerable resilience, persistence, patience, determination, and a “Can do” spirit, all of which I have.

To this end, I consider how learners succeed in tasks, through their own innate skills and abilities, be they visual audio, kinaesthetic, intrapersonal, or interpersonal.

I am a passionate believer in the power of education and learning through life, in order to make people see their real potential and achieve their goals.

In this regard I like to learn and to do courses to develop new skills and techniques to apply for my own interests and to teach and to train others.

Dear Parents and Students,


I am writing to introduce myself as a qualified teacher with over 40 years of experience in teaching, training, coaching, and tutoring.

My name is Stephen Clarke and I have a passion for helping students succeed in their studies, and I am confident that I can help your child pass their GCSE, IGCSE, and A level examinations with flying colours.

I am a graduate of the University of Worcester, where I studied Humanities and received a Bachelor of Education. I have also continued my studies over the years, and I hold diplomas in Psychology and several other related fields.

In addition to my academic qualifications, I have extensive experience working with students from all over the world. I have lived and worked in Sweden, Germany, Italy, France, and the UK, and I am fluent in Swedish, German, Italian, French, and Spanish.

I have worked with colleges of further and higher education, secondary schools, and primary schools, and I have a deep understanding of the different learning styles and needs of students.

I am a passionate and dedicated teacher, and I am committed to helping my students achieve their full potential. I believe that every student can succeed, and I am confident that I can help your child reach their goals.

I offer a variety of personalized tutoring services that can help your child improve their grades, develop their skills, and prepare for their exams. I tailor my teaching methods to the individual needs of each student, and I provide regular feedback and support.

I have a proven track record of success. I have helped many students achieve their academic goals, and I am confident that I can help your child do the same.

I would like to share some testimonials from former participants on courses and classes that I have taught:

• "Easy. The Tutor, Steve. The content was excellent. However, I would like to mention, in my honest opinion, that content is only as good as the tutor who delivers it. For example, I have come across the Tenses many times, and from many sources, but our tutor’s personality, his original and unique way of presenting the content was clear, easy to understand and, well, just fantastic! It was a real pleasure and inspiring to be guided by him throughout the course.

His personality, intellect, experience, knowledge, and methods are worthy of praise!! His feedback was honest and constructive and helped everybody In the group to gain the necessary confidence to improve their teaching skills."

- Wesley Guy, Poland April 2023 (Online TEFL Weekend course)


• "Excellent, enthusiastic, knowledgeable tutor. Steve facilitated a very good group dynamic and kept us all engaged throughout two long days.

There were 10 of us in the group, which worked well for group activities, and for learning from each other. Steve gave us lots of ideas to make learning fun and memorable, and details for following up additional resources. He really inspired us in what may be possible for us as TEFL teachers."

- Jane Stockley Birmingham January 2020


• "Steve was fantastic - cannot rate him highly enough. I feel confident now that I will succeed and get a job abroad even though I have no classroom experience. I feel my overall knowledge and confidence has grown and that the weekend really encompassed a lot of the core things needed to teach EFL”. - Rebecca Jones, Nottingham September 2018

• "I found the (concealed information) classroom course very interactive and informative. Our tutor, Steve Clarke, did a great job of getting everybody involved in lots of team-building and practical teaching exercises. We also had the opportunity to ask questions and gain advice on gaining employment, CV building, and cultural issues in different parts of the world. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in TEFL”. -

James Black, Leicester December 2018







I am confident that I can help your child succeed in their studies. I am a competent and capable teacher, and I am passionate about helping students succeed. I would be honoured to work with your child, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.


Regards to you all
