Meet Caroline Hendries

Caroline qualified as a teacher in 2005 and spent a decade teaching Years 1 to 6 in primary schools across Islington and Notting Hill, London.

 

During that time she built expertise in English, EAL, leadership and SATs moderation - experience that gives her a genuine understanding of how schools work and what they are looking for.

Caroline is an excellent tutor. Her calm, friendly and structured approach ensured our son not only got the most out of his time with her, but enjoyed it as well. Caroline has a wealth of resources to draw on depending on the need of the child. The exam workshops were another success and a great offering. We had a very successful experience and I’d highly recommend Caroline for primary tutoring across the full subject spectrum.

Lisa Bolsover

Caroline was brilliant at assessing my daughter and helping to suggest which schools would be suitable for her. She got into all the schools she tried for and has come on leaps and bounds. Caroline's mock exams were also a fantastic way for her to meet some of the other children doing the 11+, so she didn't find the actual exams so overwhelming. I would recommend Caroline in a flash!
