About Caroline:

Camilla brings a wealth of primary school experience to her practice, combining it with skills gained in her previous work of publishing and public relations. Since changing career and becoming a teacher, she is aware of how risk-taking takes confidence and strength but reaps immeasurable rewards. 

Her approach combines high expectations with creativity, enthusiasm and enjoyment, ensuring that learning remains engaging and accessible. Whether preparing pupils for SATs, the 11+ process, interviews or English assessments, Camilla tailors every programme to the individual, recognising that every child learns differently and deserves bespoke support and trust. 

A passionate advocate of curiosity and independent thinking, she encourages children to ask questions – the more ‘out of the box’ the better -  embrace challenge and develop the confidence to think beyond the obvious. Through personalised guidance and careful mentoring, she helps pupils strengthen both their academic skills and self-belief. 

Whether it be tackling elements of the 11+ process or harnessing a core skill in English, Camilla believes that with the right intervention and support, pupils can aim and achieve high. She believes that although skills can be taught and learned, enthusiasm and drive cannot and depend upon something richer that needs to be fostered.
