Meet the Clarendon Team
Henry
Director, Head of Operations
In 2009, Henry started his career in education as a gap year student at Eaton House The Manor, before studying Ancient History at Bristol University. In 2014, he decided to train as a teacher and secured a place through Ark Academies to teach History to GCSE and A Level students.
While applying for this position he was working as a TA in the primary sector in North London, specialising in Year 5 and tutoring 11+ entrance preparation to students applying for Latymer and St Pauls. Supporting students through this tricky stage in their educational development was a massive milestone and a hugely rewarding experience for him; he decided to set up Clarendon Tutors that same year to help all students maximise their potential through a network of expert, passionate educators. Henry was educated from 2004-2009 at Eton College.
Orlando
Director, Head of Learning
Orlando has worked in the education sector since 2009, having accrued over 10,000 hours of tutoring experience working for London’s top tutoring agencies and educational consultants. Orlando founded Clarendon Tutors in 2014, with the mission statement of offering families a truly unique, superlative service based on the understanding that the educational aspirations of all families are different and students learn differently. As a result of this ethic, Clarendon Tutors has been honoured at three consecutive National Tutoring Awards.
Orlando has been central in launching the ‘Inspires’ and ‘Stretch’ programmes, as well as pioneering Right School Choice, an online assessment platform with a comprehensive guide to all UK senior independent schools.

Testimonials
Clarendon were excellent in helping prepare our eldest son for Maths GCSE and our second son for 11+, so we had no hesitation in using Clarendon again when it was time for our third son to prepare for 11+. Orlando looked after us brilliantly, giving our son an initial assessment at home and online, from which he paired us with a suitable tutor. Fred tutored our son brilliantly over a period of six months, demonstrating a mastery of the subjects and the specific requirements of each exam at each of our target schools. He quickly identified areas for improvement, listened carefully to our requests and observations (as well as to our son’s), and responded by adapting content and approach as appropriate. Critically, Fred inspired our son to learn, and to do his best, by winning our son’s trust and respect right from the first meeting and building a strong working relationship. To cap it all, our son was awarded the maximum academic scholarship at our preferred school. I have no hesitation in giving Clarendon the highest recommendation!
Clarendon Tutors have been a godsend for all four of our children - from Common Entrance to ALevels! Assisting in all areas of our children's education from confidence building to finding Tutors in specialised subjects Clarendon Tutors will remain a constant in our lives for a very long time.
