Claire’s teaching experience spans 35 years, initially as an English and Drama teacher and from 2008 onwards as an IB Psychology teacher and personal tutor. Claire has taught GCSE and A Level Psychology as well as leading and teaching IB Psychology to international students. She also has a lot of experience as a personal tutor and as a supervisor and marker for the extended essay, as well as a great deal of experience as an IB examiner.

Claire works freelance as a resource writer and online tutor teaching groups and individual students from across the globe e.g., Vietnam, Switzerland, Hong Kong, China. She has co-authored two full-length IB Psychology textbooks (the ‘Psychology Sorted’ series) and topic IB textbooks for tutor2u on Relationship Psychology and Developmental Psychology plus student revision guides for all topics as well as having written countless Factsheets on a range of psychology topics for Curriculum Press. Claire particularly enjoyed running workshops for international teachers as part of the IB Conference in Barcelona.

Claire’s lessons are tailor-made to suit each student: they consist of lots of fast-paced activities, quizzes and games all designed to embrace the full range of learning styles, as well as in-depth exam work, unpacking questions and working on embedding critical thinking into exam answers.

Claire is a keen amateur figure skater: when she’s not teaching she is to be found in the middle of a freezing cold ice rink trying to perfect the toe loop jump and other terrifying skating elements!

Claire still loves teaching (even after all these years) and is very much looing forward to meeting you and contributing to your journey through the wonderful world of Psychology.

Claire's lessons are interactive, exam-focused and engaging.
