Thought you might like to know Millie got into northumbria university to do health and social with 2 distinctions and a merit. Couldn’t have done it without you Claire. You got her over a difficult line. The confidence you gave her has changed her life.

My son has just finished his 10 week tuition with Clare and I really can’t recommend her enough, Joel has just started year 7 feeling more confident in his maths classes and we will 100% book Clare in the future for extra tuition if he is struggling or has exams, thank you Clare!

Kate Potter, Parent

I used Claire to help my 15 year old daughter who was struggling with her maths. She worked wonders within weeks. Can’t thank Claire enough and I would highly recommend to anyone.

Karen Gordan, Parent

If I could give 6 stars to Claire’s tuition I certainly would!! When I got in touch with Claire, my eldest son was attending year 10 and he had a very worrying 2 in maths. Within a year his grades went up to a 4 and finishing with a 5 in his GCSE’s. Claire is now helping my youngest son who is attending year 9. In just 4 months of tutoring his grades went up from a 2 to a 4. It goes without saying that I would want her to be my son’s tutor until his GCSE exams

Marina Park, Parent

My 16 year old son is currently doing maths tuition with Claire. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s absolutely fantastic and amazing at what she does. Will most definitely be using key subject tuition for my other two sons.

Kate Holliday , Parent

My daughter passed her GCSE maths today, 2 grades higher than her previous result. James totally put her at her ease and arranged tailored lessons to target the areas she was weak in. Thank you
