Claire assisted our family in getting our twins into our top target schools in South London. She is a wonderful 11-plus tutor. We had started with another tutor and moved over to Claire about 6 months before writing. She was friendly and treated both of our girls as individuals. We are so proud of them and thankful to Claire for her guidance and help.
