About Clare:

Clare brings deep educational insight and inclusive teaching practice to her English sessions for KS1 and KS2 learners. With over 30 years’ experience in schools — and ongoing certification as an ADHD Coach — Clare’s work reflects a blend of creativity, clarity, and emotional awareness. Her English support combines targeted literacy skills with creative engagement, whether a learner needs help mastering grammar, building vocabulary, or falling in love with storytelling. Clare tailors each session to suit the child’s individual learning style, making space for neurodivergent voices and varied educational pathways. Backed by CPD training in autism, anxiety, and trauma-informed practice (Attwood & Garnett), Clare’s sessions create a safe, nurturing space for learners to thrive both academically and emotionally.
