Cara is a great tutor for my son who needs extra help with English and Maths. She's always cheerful and encouraging and uses a variety of different activities. My son really enjoys the lessons with her and I'm so glad he's getting the extra help that he needs from such a good teacher.

Cara agreed to tutor my two boys then 15mins before she was meant to arrive she emailed me to say she wasn't prepared to drive the distance to my house. This I felt was appalling behaviour! I gave her details of where I lived and my address before hand and she didn't once raise any concerns regarding travel times. Very unprofessional behaviour… do not employ her… she may let you and your children down at the last minute. A massive waste of money paying first tutors to release her details.
Jay is obviously entitled to her opinion and this is fine, I would just like to comment and say that when I did a route map for the address it was 17 mins away, the day came to visit her and due to rush hour traffic during the week the journey had turned into a 48 minute one. I felt it was more professional of me to admit up front that I would be unable to commit to this journey every week day than make up an excuse or take the first payment and then admit later on I would not be able to commit. In this situation I felt I did everything I could to remain professional and keep her in the know and be up front and honest from the outset. Many thanks for your comment I just feel in this situation it is worth having both sides of the situation. Kind regards

My dyslexic daughter was extremely reluctant to have a tutor, as she positively hates school! But she's loves to go to Cara! Cara is patient and makes learning fun.

Cara has been helping my son for about two weeks now. She makes the time very informative but lots of fun and Callum has responded very well to her methods. Cara has lots of enthusiasm and lots of energy and this is infectious. She is extremely personable and seems to really connect with her students. Callum really looks forward to spending time with Cara and learning and improving his skills. This has been, and continues to be, a worthwhile investment in my son's future. We are very pleased and would wholeheartedly recommend Cara as a personal tutor.
Cara tutored Callum for about five months but the week before his Stats she didn't come and didn't contact us to let us know what was happening. I think she moved away. Anyway, Callum achieved high level 4 and level 5 in Maths and Science so she did a great job, it was just sad we couldn't tell her face to face
From Vicky
cara is working out brilliantly, I have a 9 year old who doesn't seem to mind maths at all now.
From Joanne
Cara was great, definately recommend her services. Sam was so much more confident and generally happy to sit his SATS after some sessions with Cara… Great tutor and gets results as Sam achieved a 5 which we were over the moon with :-)
From Ken
Cara turned up once and our Son enjoyed the session but she has missed the last 2 appointments with no indication as to why! Not very reliable.
From Naume
my daughter is impressed and is looking forward to more sessions after Easter Holiday
