About Caroline
I am a recently retired teacher. In my 30 year career I have taught ages 11 - 18, preparing students for SATs GCSEs and A Levels. I have experience of teaching maths and all sciences to GCSE and both Biology and Psychology to A level. I also have experience of helping students to prepare for interviews for medicine at university and for Oxbridge interviews.
I often did one to one sessions with students at school and have frequently taught students at home on a one to one basis.
I was a team leader in KS3 SATs and GCSE sciences and am currently a senior examiner for A level Biology so not only do I know my subject I have experience of preparing students for examinations and know what the examiner is looking for.
I prefer to teach by explaining and then questionning to check the students understanding and believe that the student not only needs to know the materials but exam question practice is also vital so I always incorporate a lot of past exam papers in my tutoring. Practice is vital so i expect students to complete work both inside and outside of the sessions. The lessons need to be made relevant so I also try to always use examples from day to day life to illustrate points to put the subject matter into context.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
During the many years that I have worked with Caroline, she consistently provided our sixth form Biology and Psychology students with a highly effective learning experience, fuelled by her own ongoing thirst for learning. Her breadth and depth of knowledge is highly impressive but in addition, she has the ability to ask questions which challenge the understanding of the most able students. Caroline contextualises her delivery through frequent and appropriate use of relevant examples, thereby both enthusing her students to become more aware of the world around them but also supporting their understanding of the more challenging concepts.
Caroline is an absolute expert in her field. She is a brilliant teacher who our students loved working with. Her knowledge of her subject is outstanding, she is a committed and highly effective teacher.
