Ms Caroline

Caroline has been teaching English for more than twenty years — in Spain, in Sweden, in Austria and in Britain — to learners from complete beginner right through to proficiency level.

She holds a Postgraduate Diploma in TESOL at Level 7, the same academic level as a master's degree, from the University of Brighton, and she is currently completing an MA in EAL and TESOL there. She is also a Trinity CertTESOL Trainer, which means she is qualified not just to teach English but to train and assess other English educators — she spent four years delivering a Level 5 educator training course and carrying out educator observations and feedback.

Her specialism is exam preparation. She has taught intensive IELTS, FCE and CAE classes for years, worked as lead tutor for IELTS examinations, and set monthly examinations and progress tutorials. If you have a test date and a target score, she has almost certainly prepared someone in exactly your position.

She also has a background most exam tutors don't: several years teaching learners with additional needs, and mentoring students with social, emotional or behavioural difficulties. That tends to show up as patience — she is unusually good with adults who have convinced themselves they are bad at languages.

At SpeakBrit, Caroline leads the adult provision. She teaches across Spoken English, General English, Business English and our IELTS pathway, and she sets the academic standard for every adult class we run.
