Clair, Academic Tutor
Clair specialises in teaching English and Drama from Year 7 upwards.
Clair studied English Literature at Oxford University and then went on to complete her PGCE in English, Drama and Media Studies at Christchurch College, Canterbury.
She has over twenty years experience of teaching Secondary English and Drama working in a range of schools across both the state and private sectors and was graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.
She has taught GCSE, A Level and the International Baccalaureate as well as teaching EFL. Clair has a highly creative, student focused approach to learning and is very proud of the achievements that her students have had. Clair also completed a postgraduate degree course in Psychology whilst working part time at St Paul’s Girls’ school in London and feels that her own experience of being a student again expanded her understanding of how real learning happens.
She left Ardingly College where she worked as Head of Drama when she had her daughter and since then has been focusing on dramas of the toddler variety!
She has a passion for Theatre, reading, writing and Art and with her upbeat, positive approach she always encourages her students to be their best selves.

CLAIR’S THOUGHTS ON TUTORING
Tutoring allows me to focus in on the ability, personality and interests of each individual and to tailor my lessons accordingly. I like the space that tutoring provides for each student to evaluate where they are at and enjoy working with them to reach the targets that we set together.
As with all our tutors, Clair is fully DBS certified.
