She supported my daughter through her GCSEs, giving her encouragement throughout. We are lucky enough to be able to continue with her tutoring moving onto A Levels. I cant recommend Claire highly enough.
Claire is a highly competent chemist and dynamic teacher. Over my second year of sixth form college she enabled me to jump from a grade C at AS to grade A in OCR B A level chemistry. She clearly explains complex ideas and has a strong approach to exam technique. I cannot recommend her enough!
Claire Sibley has enabled my son to achieve an A in chemistry A level.... She is the best tutor I could have wished for..... strict and fair. I praise, thank and recommend her..... Claire is an expert at teaching chemistry, but more than that, she understands the changing expectations of exam boards, and speaking as a mum, she can can guide individuals to achieve their very best, and she cares for each and every one of her students. AMAZING!!!!
Claire always tries to figure out my weakest points and improve them, after my sessions with Claire I always felt more confident and less anxious.
Claire was a lifesaver for my dyslexic daughter who was really struggling with A-level chemistry. Her endless patience and confidence building skills helped enormously. Without her help, my daughter would never have passed.
Claire tutored me for several months in the run up to my Chemistry A Level - with her help I improved greatly over the period, understood concepts I had never been able to grasp before and most importantly gained confidence in my ability! Claire was very flexible in her hours and was able to tutor me more often as exams neared which was especially useful. I would recommend Claire to any student looking for some Chemistry help.
