Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Claire's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

We had a first conversation with Claire and she was definitely very knowledgeable about the English requirements for 11+ entrance exams and had good ideas on how to improve our daughter readiness. Unfortunately we had some calendar mis communication and therefore we won’t be able to progress with the tutoring

Claire is helping our son for iGCSE’s. She is undoubtedly very experienced in preparing for exams. She knows the curriculum well and equips him with relevant materials and practical methods for each paper type. He enjoys the lessons as she has a positive approach, builds on his strengths and gives him confidence. Claire also gives him homework between lessons to maximize the learning experience. After a couple of lessons, he’s gained confidence and motivation. I strongly recommend Claire.

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!

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.

Although for a short period, due to my busy schedule, Claire was a brilliant tutor. I would highly recomend her.
