Caroline

I have successfully been teaching Business Studies for 27 years. For the last 6 years I have worked for the UAE Government overseeing vocational learning, mainly Business Studies in their public schools. I have main years of tutoring experience, one-to-one or small groups. I am a Senior Examiner for Cambridge International and extremely skilled at coaching students to pass exams by developing the keys skills each different exam board focused on. (I am unable tutor CIE 9609 syllabus due to the exam commitments). I expect every student to complete the work I set them outside my sessions but will mark the work as part of the package (no extra cost).

Tutoring Approach

I adapt my approach to suit the student - however I coach to also match the required skills that they need to successfully achieve the highest grades in the exams. I expect the student to be committed and keen to improve. I will give feedback to the student and ensure the Guardian is kept in the loop with progress.
