Meet Your Tutor
Hello, I'm Caroline an experienced, qualified teacher with over 30 years of experience in primary education, both in the UK and overseas. I also hold a TEFL qualification and have experience teaching English to adult learners. Throughout my career, I have considered it a privilege to work in education and to help learners develop their skills, confidence and belief in what they can achieve.
My Approach
Working with children
I believe that strong reading and English skills open the door to learning across the curriculum. Every child deserves the opportunity to fulfil their potential, and a good teacher can make a lasting difference. I provide supportive, carefully tailored lessons that build skills, confidence and a genuine enjoyment of learning.
Working with adults
I have enormous respect for adults who choose to learn or improve their English. Learning a new language takes commitment and determination, often alongside work and family life. I really enjoy helping adult learners develop the practical English and confidence they need for everyday life, work and greater independence.
“I cannot recommend Caroline highly enough. She has been incredibly patient, understanding and supportive of my son and his individual needs as a child with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).
Caroline adapted her teaching to suit him, always finding different and creative ways to improve his learning and understanding. Her patience and encouragement have made such a difference to his confidence and learning. We are very grateful for all the support, care and dedication she has shown him.”

“My twin boys started lessons with Caroline with almost no English. They are now making excellent progress with phonics, early reading and vocabulary, and we can see their confidence growing. Caroline’s lessons are friendly, encouraging and interactive, with lots of carefully chosen resources and activities. The homework follows on from each lesson and helps the boys practise and consolidate their new English at home.”

“We really enjoy our English lessons with Caroline. The lessons are friendly and useful, and we practise English that we can use in everyday life. We particularly enjoy the speaking activities and using pictures and cards. Caroline is very helpful and good at explaining things. Since starting lessons, we understand more English, our vocabulary has improved and we feel less nervous speaking English. We are becoming more confident using English in everyday life.”
