Information about Carol
I am a fully qualified French and German teacher and I have over 23 years of experience teaching in schools. I also teach EFL and Primary English to all ages and have many years of experience in tutoring these subjects. I am an examiner for German GCSE exams and KS2 English SATs papers, both Reading and SPAG.
Since 2020, I have been tutoring full-time and I consider myself very fortunate to be able work one to one with learners and work with them to achieve their learning goals. I attend training to ensure I am always up-to-date with any changes and due to regular training for exam marking I have a very thorough understanding of exam requirements.
I have also worked with many adult learners and I very much enjoy building positive working relationships and ensuring excellent progress.
My lessons are fun and motivational and I work hard to ensure learners get the most out of their lessons. I have an exceptional track record in teaching and how much progress the learners make. Each lesson is tailored to suit your exact needs and goals so that you get the outcome you`re looking for.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
Availability:
I work 5 days a week from Monday to Friday so please get in touch and I`ll be able to discuss and arrange a time with you. I also have a little more availability during the day than in the evening. If you`re looking for more intensive support rather than ongoing weekly lessons, that is not a problem at all, I am happy to do block bookings during holiday times if intensive shorter-term lessons are what you are looking for.

Feedback For Carol (33)
Gandhimathy (Mrs)
02/06/2023
She was extremely helpful and boosted my German grades incredibly. she was very flexible and effectively helped target and improve on aspects of the course I was struggling at. We were able to cover all parts of the German course, having started each lesson with some German speaking. Even though it was just generic questions like "how are you?", "what did you do last week" etc. it made me feel a lot more comfortable, speaking German in my actual exam as I had so much practice with Carol.
Tutors Response :
Ah that`s great, thanks so much for such lovely feedback. You`ve done so well, all the best for your exams. I look forward to hearing from you on results day 🙂;;.

Carol has been providing French lessons for my son to help him in what has been the subject he has struggled most with. The remote lessons for the last 6 months leading up to the GCSEs have been excellent and the additional focus, one on one, has really helped him develop in all areas, reading, writing and speaking. Strongly recommend Carol. My sons feedback is that “Carol is much better than my French teacher at school” !
Tutors Response :
Ah brilliant! Thanks so much, I`ll be sad to say goodbye to him after his exams finish but I wish him every success going forward into the next stage of his life. Thanks.

My daughter studying towards her French GCSE has only had a handful of french lessons with Carol so far, but she has commented on the amount of content that they are able to get through in one lesson. Carol has quickly identified my daughter`s weaker areas and targeted them with her teaching. The lessons are engaging and fun which has helped in my daughter`s learning and already her confidence has started to build with Carol`s reassurance. Carol is a very knowledgeable experienced teacher who I wouldn`t hesitate to recommend.
Tutors Response :
Ah thank you so much, I really appreciate it and your daughter is lovely to teach!

Carol is an extremely diligent and task focused tutor. She has made the lesson fun, even when I am struggling in the difficult parts, with the various online learning tools which she uses to ensure that the lesson is kept interesting and continues its pace. She is well prepared and has provided worksheets and homework ideas to ensure that momentum is maintained between each of the lessons. I would thoroughly recommend Carol for any adult learner of German.

Carol is amazing! As an adult learning German, I have never been able to understand as well as I do than with Carol, her explanations are so clear and concise, I am rarely if ever left confused by her teachings. I started learning German at GCSE but ultimately gave up because it felt so unachievable for me, but as corny as it sounds Carol has really made me believe I could do this. Outside of teaching, Carol is very organised, on time and practical about her approaches to each individuals learning situations. Sie ist toll! fünf sterne! Danke Carol!
Tutors Response :
Thank you so much for such lovely feedback, you`re such a pleasure to teach, I very much enjoy our lessons!
