Claire is supporting our daughter's (6-year-old) English lessons since the first lockdown. We are not native English speakers, and we wanted to ensure that our daughter develops her vocabulary and speaks English confidently. Our daughter enjoyed classes and showed significant progress in expressing herself, using new vocabulary and reading sentences. After the lockdown, we asked Claire to have lessons during half terms and summer holidays when schools reopened. This helped our daughter to recap the previous term and prepare for the next term. We will continue requesting Claire's support in the following half terms. Claire also shares detailed feedback after each lesson and attach her presentations. This helps us to understand our daughter's progress and the areas she needs to improve. Her teaching style is very engaging and enjoyable that our daughter loves speaking with Claire and joins lessons enthusiastically. We highly recommend Claire and will definitely request her support when we are all available in half terms.

My son looks forward to his lessons with Claire; she makes him feel at ease and makes the lessons fun while covering key areas. She also provides comprehensive feedback and progress on the lessons, which has proven very useful for his study/revision in between lessons. I'd highly recommend Claire.
