Clare

I am an enthusiastic physics, general science and maths tutor based in Brighton with over 25 years of experience. I offer both face to face and online tuition. I teach science in a secondary school and I am a University of Cambridge MA graduate in Natural Sciences. I have a PGCE and a qualification in tutoring. I have tutored as part of the National Tutor Programme (NTP). I have a great deal of experience of both students who want to excel and those who may need to catch up. I am patient, kind and creative and have a wide range of strategies to offer. For the students wishing to get grades 8/9, or A/A* at A level, I offer bespoke strategies.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching for over 25 years in schools and universities. I have taught predominantly GCSE level but also A level (recently mostly physics) and upper primary.
I have been tutoring for a long time too! I moved my tutoring online since the pandemic and all my tutees, from all over the country, seem to thrive in this setup.
For many years I have helped students in Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Combined Science achieve their goals. I have also successfully taught maths to adults to GCSE level. I tutor both long-term and short-term. I have a lot of experience raising self-esteem through tutoring, coaching and mentoring.

Tutoring Approach

I encourage students to take an active part in their learning. I find a rapport with the student and have a kind and enthusiastic approach that gives steady positive student progress, making use of past papers, revision websites and guides as well as responding to what the tutee feels is necessary. I ensure that students practice recall and responding to command words that are common at GCSE and A level. When I am steering a student towards a national exam, we will make a plan together leading up to the exam, to ensure success.
I have had many successful tutees who have been delighted by their results!
Sometimes, young people and adults come to me and need to have their 'learning muscles' built up and their confidence restored.
