Cara

Professional, specialist 1-1 tutoring helps your child increase their confidence and their academic performance at school. Each child is different. My 1-1 sessions are tailored to your child`s needs and abilities, taking account of their progress and drawing on my many years of teaching and GCSE examining experience to ensure they get the most out of every session. I am enthusiastic about the benefits of 1-1 tuition and I have seen how it boosts my students` enjoyment of English and their belief in themselves.

I tutor KS3-KS4 English and English Literature at A Level. I teach in-person, online or a combination of both depending on your location and the needs of your child. I am based in Alford, Lincolnshire and have slots available on Tuesdays (updated August 2022).

"Cara has been my son`s English tutor since the beginning of Year 9. He has now just finished Year 11 and his GCSEs. Cara has given him lots of confidence in both English Language and English Literature which definitely lacked beforehand and he has shown great improvement in both through the guidance and help from Cara. I highly recommend Cara if anyone is considering an English tutor." Grade 8s in English Language & Literature. Tutored for 3 years both in-person and online.
