Claire C.

Hi! My name is Claire, and I have 8 years of tutoring experience. I graduated from Perth Modern School in 2016, and was in the top 1-2% of WACE students for both the Biology and English ATAR. In 2016, I won the national Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Award. I have also been awarded the KSP Speculative Fiction Award (commendation - 2014, 2016). During my time as a tutor, I have have helped many students bridge the gap of understanding between themselves and their teachers. Instead of being a strict teacher, I view myself more as a mentor who understands students and their frustrations. Furthermore, I have worked at an educational centre, have gone on rural educational programs such as TLG. When teaching english, I take a skills-based approach. I teach my students the art of adaptability in reading and analysing texts so they can tackle any text type. I have a methodology that has taken me through my studies at Perth Modern - it can be taught to any Year 7 - Year 12 student. My students have gone from failing English to achieving an A in their WACE exams, and under my guidance some students have also gone on to becoming the top performers in their schools. Class spaces are limited, and I prefer to do 1-1 - please PM me for a spot! I am also open to group classes for a better rate. *I also have a working with children check.
