Information About Caroline:

Personal Description:

I am a Chartered Mechanical Engineer with 20 years experience within various industries (mainly aerospace and medical engineering).
I live with my partner, 3 dogs and two (soon to be 3) cats and hence enjoy long walks in the woods and on the beach (with the dogs!!).
Since graduation with my first degree a BEng(Hons) in mechanical engineering I have gone on to study with the Open University where I obtained a BSc in Earth Sciences and I am currently trying(!) to learn German.

Teaching Experience:

I have been tutoring since starting to study for my PhD in 1999. I started tutoring students in Maths (undergraduate) and on completion of my studies I started to tutor in Maths, Physics and Chemistry, mainly at 'A' level.
Since then I have tutored a large number of students and have covered most exam boards (mainly AQA, Edexcel & OCR) as well as ONC and HNC requirements.

Tutoring Approach:

I approach my tutoring by trying to find out where the problems with the students understanding lie. Is it a lack of understanding of the basic principles or the application of those principles to exam style questions. When I have understood the requirements I try and develop a plan based on these, this could be sample questions or exam papers. I also tyr and do as many exam style questions as poosible leading up to the exams to ensure the student is aware of the variety of ways a question about a topic can be asked.
I also carry out regular recaps of the topics studied, as well as discussing and investigating other problems the student may have.
I do not help with homework or assignments but am happy to review these with the student if they are unsure as to why they didn't get the mark they expected or the teacher's comments.

Qualifications:

• BEng(Hons) Mechanical Engineering
• BSc in Earth Sciences
