ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm Claire H-G and I hold an MA in English Language and Literature from Oxford University and am a CELTA-qualified teacher. Previously, I worked as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, practicing in international law firms in the City for eight years and then advising the UK Cabinet Office as an independent lawyer.
While I had always known that I love English in a way I would never love law, it was only later that I began to notice how much enjoyment I got from teaching the new trainee solicitors. I decided that it was time to change career and I now specialize in tutoring English Language and Literature at GCSE and A-Level, offering personalized tuition, exam revision sessions, and support for entrance exams, including the 11+ and Common Entrance. I also teach English as a Foreign Language, with a speciality in business and legal English.

FEEDBACK
"Claire is an experienced English tutor and helped my son preparing for his English literature GCSE. Compared to the predicted grade of 7 by his shcool the final one is 2 mark below 9. I would recommend her to everyone!"

-Feng
"Because my daughter had ben concentrating on other subjects, she had let her English slide, and this led to some alarming grades in her mocks. With only a few weeks left before her GCSEs, Claire took her on and she made dramatic improvements. It is plain that Claire has a passionate commitment to helping her pupils to succeed."
