WHY BARRETT EDUCATION

Taught by an examiner, not just a tutor.

Claire is a current AQA A Level and Edexcel iGCSE English examiner. Students learn exactly what the mark scheme rewards and how to deliver it in the exam.

With over twenty years in the classroom and an Oxford English degree, Claire gets straight to what matters. Lessons are focused and purposeful, with no wasted time.

More than grades

Students grow in confidence, learn to think for themselves and find their own voice. The skills they build in English, from clear analysis to well-structured essays, carry across into every other subject.

“Not only did she put our daughter in a strong place for her exams, but she inspired her intellectually and truly grew her love of literature.”
