    About Me

    Hello! My name is Claire and I have recently graduated from the University of Edinburgh. I have been an online tutor for over three years now, and I specialise in French, History, English, and Sociology. I enjoy creating a comfortable and productive environment in which my students improve their confidence as well as their academic and/or linguistic ability. I thoroughly enjoy what I do, and I find passing on my enthusiasm for a subject immensely satisfying.

    Education

    First Class degree with Honours in MA Sociology and Social Anthropology, University of Edinburgh (2019-2023).

    Scottish Highers: English (A), History (A), Music (A), French (A), Chemistry (B)
    Scottish National 5s: English (A), History (A), Music (A), French (A), Chemistry (A), Biology (A), Maths (A), Modern Studies (A)

    Experience / Qualifications

    Teaching experience: over 3 years online tutoring, currently a volunteer ESOL tutor for Asylum Seekers in Glasgow, worked as a teaching assistant in two high schools in France, and taught English at a summer camp for one month in Poland.

    Qualifications: TESOL + TEFL certificates

    Languages: English (native), French (B2), Spanish (A2)
    As an experienced tutor specializing in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, I bring creativity and a wealth of diverse resources to each session. My teaching approach is tailored to make learning both effective and enjoyable, ensuring that students feel supported and motivated. I am dedicated to creating a warm and comfortable environment where students can confidently practice and improve their English skills. I have experience teaching all levels of English, including preparing students for exams to enter universities and more. Join me, and let's embark on an engaging journey to learning - and one day mastering - the English language together!
    Using interactive and engaging activities, we will explore whichever issues within the Britain, European and World, and Scottish topics you are focusing on. Each week, I always include quizzes on your chosen topics to assess your understanding at random points, and we start completing essay-style and past paper source questions from the get-go to ensure students are comfortable with the exam format. I have pre-made answer structures for each type of source question to simplify this part of the exam, and to ensure that students can pick up as many marks as possible. Having achieved 100% in both my National 5 and Higher History prelims and therefore obtaining the History award at my school, I know exactly how to get every mark available to students taking this exam. I also understand how to achieve a very good mark in the assignment which can give students a huge boost in terms of marks and confidence going into the final exam.
    As an experienced tutor specializing in French for GCSE and A-level, and SQA National 5 and Higher qualifications, I employ a creative approach using a variety of resources to make learning engaging and effective. My sessions are designed to help students not only excel in their exams but also to develop a deep appreciation for the French language. I am passionate about creating a warm and comfortable environment where students feel confident to practice and improve their skills. I also have experience teaching French to adult beginners, as well as the International GCSE qualification. Let's work together to achieve your French language goals with confidence and enthusiasm!
    SQA National 5 and Higher English are arguably the most important qualifications you undertake whilst in Secondary School in Scotland. In the lessons I run, I make powerpoints/pdfs each week that are tailored to the specific needs of students. We go through poems, short stories, or prose via interactive and engaging tasks to ensure a deep understanding of the text(s) is consolidated. I then always introduce past paper questions at the earliest point possible in order to ensure students are fully comfortable with the format of the exam, and to assess the extent to which they understand the text(s) they are studying. The same goes for the reading paper (RUAE) - I have pre-made answer structures for each type of question that can be asked for this paper, and I get students to apply these when answering past papers. I often ask students to write summaries, prepare essays, and/or answer past paper questions as homework.

    Mentoring of research projects in the Humanities/Social Sciences
    So, you need to write a research project! You have some ideas, your supervisor gave you guidelines, topics, clicks, bites and what else. You have already read something on the topic, you might even be well aware of developments in the literature, but – there`s always a but... Are my questions, hypothesis clear? What do I need to know in order to be able to start my research? Will my research contribute to anything? Is my theoretical approach right? Which method is best in order to answer my questions? Heavens! What are questions, hypothesis, theory, method? And what in hell is research for? IF YOU find yourself in a similar situation, this class is for you! With more than 15 years of experience on writing, conducting research projects and mentoring research projects, I want to offer you an eye-to-eye, tailored discussion on your research proposal. We will discuss whatever you have in hands (from scattered fragments and broken pages, to already more elaborated written ideas or still those mysterious feedbacks from your supervisor), and look for unseen loops, unnecessary digressions, missed or overstated arguments. We will see what is working and which threads are worth to pursue further, and which to let go. Rather than give you a professorial class on what is a question, a method, theory or research itself, I will offer you a direct hands-on approach to writing YOUR project. With a mix between those uniquely valuable peer-to-peer discussions and a more careful pedagogical work, we will tackle whatever questions you have, and explore in a more realistic way what a research project is made of and why it is so important. How does it work? Bellow, I offer you two categories of classes. In both of them we will be focusing on what I consider to be the three most important pillars of a good research project: 1. Understanding what our question really is (what is your container); 2. Mapping our bibliographical sources (what are your tools); and 3. Sorting out our ‘data’ sources (what are your raw materials). My approach brings theory and method as the spice of our research project, something that should be well dosed – not too much, not too little, just enough to give the flavour to your project and help you better understand the uniqueness of your research. * S.O.S Combo You have been some ideas in your mind, and have been reading some relevant literature, but you feel you’re going too wide on the literature, or your questions are too blurry, your possible raw material undefined, your theoretical approach sketchy – and let’s not talk about methodology! We will schedule two 90min sessions + a 60min reading in-between: In the FIRST session, you will (a) tell me all you have in your head (you can send me little fragments and ideas you might have written as well), what is your topic, the questions you imagine, where and how you propose to research it, etc. After scratching the surface, (b) we will try to elaborate at least one of those questions, thinking about possible answers and their ‘consequences’, both methodologically and theoretically. Finally, (c) we will look together for specific bibliographical sources that relate to one or more of your questions. We will select one or two most relevant papers to read and discuss in our second encounter. In the SECOND class, we are going to (a) discuss the paper(s), peeling of its main arguments and tapping into its theoretical-analytical approach in order to (b) return to your topic and try to elaborate some new questions and (c) a clear, step-by-step list of how to continue on your own. At the end of these two sessions, you will be able to sit down, find and read relevant material to your topic, and start writing your first draft. * Insanity-check Combo You have a fairly structured research project, possibly with some feedback from your supervisor. You believe your questions are good, you have some bibliographical references and your raw material is in check. All you need is an insanity check in order to move on, rewrite your project and think more clearly on your methods and theoretical consequences of your research. We will schedule two sessions, of 30min and 60min + 90min reading in-between: In the FIRST session, you will guide me through your project, tell me about why your choose that topic, why you are interested in it, what are questions, methodological and theoretical ideas. I want to have a first impression of your research project, before I read it. In our SECOND session, after I have read your project and any other related document you might find relevant for me to read, I will give you a full feedback of your project. If you have your supervisor feedback, I will also give you feedback about that and try to clarify where you feel necessary. I will give particular attention to the weaving between your questions and the literature review, on one side, and on the other side, that between methodology and theoretical framework. Finally, I will offer you a clear scheme of how to proceed to review and rewrite your proposal if it’s necessary. I will also help you and offer you a guideline to ensure you have a strong and well focused map of your literature review, one which you can use to further your research in the future. At the end of these two session, you will have a better view of some underlying aspects of your research project, and will be able to extend your knowledge about your topic with more precision. Finally, you will be ready to start writing your final draft. Who am I? A committed social scientist, MA and Ph.D in Anthropology, completed 4yrs post-Ph.D in political anthropology. I have conducted four different research projects, all of them focusing in southern African communities and dealing with an array of distinct topics (religious syncretism; memory and identity; local and state politics; literary practices; history making; power and authority). During my studies I have built a very consistent and broad theoretical and ethnographic knowledge, particularly, but not only, when it comes to the interdisciplinary field of African studies (a complex literature in which I feel very comfortable and able to navigate with full proficiency). I am a very experienced researcher (with more than 3 years of fieldwork experience in southern Africa), acquainted with all kinds of qualitative methods, from interviews, ritual analysis, archival work and social media research. I have much experience writing, assessing and tutoring research projects; peer-reviewing academic papers (including American Anthropology, Caderno de Estudos Africanos, among others); participating in thesis commission board; and as a university professor. Mentoring and teaching is truly my passion, and with a very consistent and mature knowledge of the literature you can expect a most precise, competent assistance.

    Learn English Language and Literature by an Experienced, UK Qualified and Native Teacher (All Levels)
    I am a qualified British teacher with over 20 years of experience in teaching. I have taught at prestigious schools and colleges in the UK. I have also been teaching at International British Private Schools in Abu Dhabi. I can teach children from the ages of 3-19 - including those with SEN and other Special requirements. I am an experienced GCSE and A Level teacher and examiner of English, Psychology and Sociology. I am also available during the day for younger children to help strengthen their English and other Educational skills. I can help with phonics and early mathematics and science. I have done specialist primary courses and have substantial experience with younger children. I am kind and patient with excellent subject knowledge. I am also very experienced at teaching pupils with SEN. I am extremely organised and each lesson is recorded (with a plan) and feed back given. I use multiple teaching methods from IT to role play. I can provide full references for you should you need to see them.

    Philosophy courses at secondary or university level
    It's up to us to determine your needs, together: -Do you need to discuss so that ideas and concepts come naturally? -Do you prefer to analyze the texts as closely as possible? - Or do you simply need to prepare for an exam? We will find the method that suits you!

    Foundations of Social Work: Essential Principles and Practices
    "Foundations of Social Work: Essential Principles and Practices" is a comprehensive class designed to introduce students to the core concepts, principles, and skills required in the field of social work. The course explores the ethical frameworks, theoretical approaches, and practical strategies that guide social work professionals in their efforts to support individuals, families, and communities. Students will learn about key topics such as social justice, cultural competence, communication skills, and intervention techniques, preparing them to address diverse social issues with empathy, professionalism, and a commitment to positive change.

    Tuition for all ages ranging from primary to secondary- I offer comprehensive educational support for students of all ages.
    I provide tuition in all subjects for primary school students and for secondary only maths science and sociology. I teach children using a variety of engaging and interactive methods to ensure they not only learn but truly understand the material. My approach begins with assessing each child's individual learning style and needs. I believe in creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing their thoughts. I also make sure each child knows that they can do anything along as they try there best.

    Biology, maths and sociology tutoring for students
    Maths is a critical skill that everyone needs to know, it requires problem solving abilities and logic in order to follow a structured method to come to the right conclusion. You will learn how to interpret graphs, rearrange formula and do geometry. Biology is one of my favourite subjects and I'm very passionate about learning about it and teaching it to other students. It has applications to many other subjects such as Geography and Psychology. I have a wide range of resources that I can use to teach students to get them to a high level of learning. You will learn how to answer exam questions using detailed knowledge across a wide variety of topics. Sociology is an incredibly important subject that gives people a wide understanding of society and how it functions, and how these functions differ from different viewpoints. Understanding these viewpoints is critical to being able to understand sociology. You will learn how to criticise and evaluate these views and how to write essays to a high standard.

    Anthropology, history, philosophy, English, Spanish
    I am a graduate doctoral student, I propose an individualized pedagogy, and I help with the preparation for exams. My goal is to move the student forward without overloading him. I give homework after each lesson and periodically provide progress reports.
