CATS

Luna and Zelda are always happy to provide CATS (Cat Assisted Teaching Sessions). They love to greet people at the door and spend the lesson snuggled on a nice warm lap. As enthusiastic scientists they are always eager to help, particularly any topic involving a laser (pen). At only a year old, they have already helped many students settle into lessons and have become minor celebrities amongst my tutees.

Caroline has given lessons to all of my 3 children and has significantly built their confidence and appreciation of science. She has a patient manner and targeted approach and the exam practise sessions are invaluable.

Our second child is now being Tutored by Caroline fully recommended not only by me but also (more importantly) my children.

Caroline has been brilliant at connecting with my neurodivergent teenager who became unable to cope with school. Her manner and approach have been really supportive (alongside the inquisitive cats!) and we are continuing into 16+ education with Caroline.

Caroline has been tutoring our daughter for last year and the results have been incredible- achieving over 80% in all subjects (up to 30% increase) and she really enjoys Science now. So grateful!

Caroline has tutored my older two daughters with their Biology A Level studies - she was incredible and they both credit their A Level results to the tutoring Caroline gave them - Caroline is fantastic at exam preparation - she is currently tutoring my youngest daughter in A Level Biology and her help is invaluable and gives my daughter the confidence and tools to succeed in this subject

Caroline has proved an excellent fit for my child who’s too anxious to function in school. She has a calm manner that puts young people at ease.

My daughter has just started tutoring with Caroline and is so happy with the sessions. She said Caroline explains things really well, keeps you engaged and makes the learning interesting, won’t move on until she’s sure you’ve understood and gives you lots of resources to help & consolidate what you’ve learned. She is super impressed, as are we as parents!

Caroline has helped both my children develop their interest and knowledge in science subjects, and is very flexible in her tutoring approach.

I started having A level Biology tutoring lessons with Caroline on October 2023 in year 12 and have been since then. There have been a significant improvement on my understanding of A level Biology and I have been able to raise my grades to the level I wanted them to be. I find lessons very helpful and enjoyable. I highly recommend getting tutoring from Caroline if you need any help for the subjects that she offers.

Caroline explains things with diagrams which I find helpful because it helps me envision the processes in my mind.she also gives me extra work and notes to take home as revision resources. She has made me a good folder with all the information we have covered and other pieces of information that are helpful so that I can access it at any point. Overall a great  teacher , her tutorials have improved my grade from a D to a B.

Caroline is amazing. I have two children who are very different in their learning styles. Caroline adapts her teaching style to each child. My daughter loves her science lessons to the point where she asked for an extra hour a week. she is also great at engaging my son who has challenging behaviours because of learning difficulties. Caroline is wonderful at communicating with both the children but also the adults. I recommend Caroline with out hesitation and your kids will love learning with her.

Boosted my daughters confidence no end. She’s gone from an A Level predicted C grade in Biology to an A in her mock! Thank you Caroline. Highly recommended

My daughter has been lucky enough to have had Caroline tutor her for GCSEs and A level Biology. I can not recommend Caroline highly enough. She is an exceptional teacher who has the ability to get the very best from her student. Her professional approach combined with a "nothing is too much trouble" attitude is fantastic. I am so pleased we have been able to have Caroline as our science/biology tutor over the last four years.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Caroline. She is an amazing tutor, so patient and understanding and it's so lovely to witness the confidence she has given my daughter to believe in herself and has even made Science fun for her.

Caroline is completely wonderful - she taught two of my children (one home schooled) over several years and they did brilliantly and loved every lesson. We miss her!
