Clare

Private Maths and Further Maths Tutor in Blyth

8 reviews

Hi, I'm Clare, a fully qualified teacher. I live in the North East of England, in a small port town called Blyth. I went to university straight from school to do a Maths degree. Following this I did various jobs before taking voluntary redundancy in 2012 to train as a teacher.

Teaching Experience

I trained as a teacher in 2012/2013 and did classroom teaching for 4 years. I started doing tutoring in my spare time and found I enjoyed it more than teaching in a classroom, so in 2016 I decided to become a full-time tutor. My work is all online. I have tutored all ages from school Yr 4 to Yr 13. Over the years I have also worked with adult learners wanting to achieve their maths qualifications.

Tutoring Approach

I have a flexible approach to teaching, due to the diverse needs of each student. Some student have a very clear idea of what they want help with, others are not so sure. I have an interactive website that allows students to work on their maths at any time. I encourage all students to do some independent work between lessons. The interactive website allows for every student to have their own personalised learning plan, so they know exactly what to work on next.

After my daughter failed her maths GSCE mock exam, I went looking for a tutor to help get her grade up before the actual exam. Long story short, with Clare's guidance, my daughter passed the final exam with a higher grade than she expected.

Clare is an excellent tutor who has helped my daughter extensively. Clare’s tutoring style worked really well for my slightly introverted child. The best testimony I can provide is that my daughter is not a fan of many of her school teachers, so I was concerned she would not attend Clare’s tutoring classes. However Clare was very reassuring and my daughter never missed a class. She actually seemed to enjoy them, which was a big bonus. I have seen the improvement in the few months Clare has been working with her and I would highly recommend Clare to anyone looking for some Maths help!

Claire has only been tutoring my son for a couple of weeks but has already made such an impact. In just 2 sessions they have managed to cover a number of different topics that my son was struggling with. Claire explains things really well and in a way which my son understands, and she is very organized which my son finds helps. Having had experience with another tutor recently I can honestly say that finding Claire has made us realize what a good tutor really is!
