Clare Watson

I am a Doctor of Education (EdD), published author, and senior educational leader with over 20 years of education sector experience.

I aim to support learners in their quest for individual growth and flourishment. My approach is highly strategic, collaborative, and outcome-focused, drawing directly from my 20+ years of sector leadership and my background as a Doctor of Education.

I do not just deliver standard content; I mentor students to understand the underlying expectations of studying, and encourage the development of confidence, if needed. I also teach presentations skills, academic English, strategies for writing reports and essays, study habits, time management skills and generally share how to be an effective and confident learner.

I encourage all learners to be critical thinkers, creative individuals, and citizens who embrace education as a means to curiosity and new knowledge. My philosophy is led by the learners that I work with, as each person learns very differently. I am patient, understanding and willing to take time to help us achieve our aims together! Learning is a journey and it needs to be an enjoyable one which is why I try to encourage a positive learning and teaching environment, devoid of pressure and stress. Lessons can be fun or serious, depending on your requirements.

Whether you are a high school student or an adult learner, there is always scope to increase your personal confidence, ability and study skills and study habits to allow you to move through your academic journey seamlessly. Together we can help that happen.
