“Caroline is simply the key to our SEN childrens’ success! My daughter’s recent report is amazing, with an A in English and huge improvements in Maths.  She was a lifesaver for our son’s Common Entrance experience too.  Caroline is extremely patient and professional, calm and understanding.  We want to keep her all to ourselves!”
