Meet the Tutors

Clare Berry BSC(Hons), PGCE, MA(Ed Management)

Hello, I’m Clare, Joy to Learn tutor for English Language, Maths and Science. I have over 20 years teaching experience either working in schools or as a home-tutor. I have taught in secondary and middle schools as well as successfully home educated my own children at primary and secondary level including GCSEs and A-Levels. ​I have an Open degree with the Open University, majoring in Biological Sciences. I achieved Qualified Teacher Status at Secondary School level in 1997, then went on to complete my study of Educational Management at Masters level.

I enjoy teaching secondary school aged students and adults of all abilities, whether they are looking to excel or need to help to catch up. I celebrate the individuality of each student, focusing on their strengths and enabling them to gain the confidence to tackle their weaknesses in a secure and supportive environment. Often students struggle when they have missed out on some of the foundational learning in a subject. I make sure the foundational learning is in place before building upon it, giving students confidence and helping them to find joy in learning.
