About Clara
Hi. I'm Clara, a private tutor specialising in English from primary to degree level. I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2021 with a 1st Class BA (Hons) in English, and since then have been regularly teaching students from 11+ to A Level.
Prior to this, I spent my time at university tutoring privately, mentoring Oxbridge applicants (who have received offers from their desired colleges), and leading classes at local Cambridge schools in my capacity as a tutor for the student-run organisation, Schools Connect, of which I eventually became president. I came up through the IGCSE/Linear A-Level system, but am happy to teach all syllabi, as required. I am also able to provide references upon request.

I'm an enthusiastic and patient teacher, willing to be led by my tutees' needs but always comprehensive and precise in the material I cover.
When working with younger students, I am of the opinion that it's best to focus on 1-3 specific topics per session; knowing even one more principle or how to use a specific tense/structure can really build foundational knowledge. We begin by ascertaining their level of knowledge and their confidence, then we start there and adjust accordingly if need be. I am also always ready to adjust my style--what works for one student may not work for another, and I like to have several different methods for explaining each concept.
With older students (GCSE upwards) conversation is more free-flowing, and we work out our goals for a session or a course before we begin. I can cover both English Language and Literature, on topics ranging from essay structure and proof-reading, to literary themes, to creative writing (plus many more!). I like to offer a range of critical/constructive and positive feedback, and again am happy to adjust to a student's goals and learning styles.
