Coaching has immeasurably assisted my professional development and leadership competencies. Caroline is a consummate professional who knows the international educational setting and is able to ask perceptive, challenging questions which provoke deeper thought about current actions and future plans. Her coaching has been extremely beneficial and has allowed me to raise and address issues in a reflective, challenging atmosphere.

found the coaching sessions with Caroline extremely useful. The questioning allowed me to think objectively and clearly. Caroline provided a framework which I used to overcome the road blocks I could foresee which were preventing me and holding me back from making a decision. I would, unreservedly, recommend Caroline as an Executive Coach.

As a business owner, working in the financial services sector, I have been extremely satisfied with the impact of Caroline’s coaching on my productivity, organisation and overall effectiveness as a service provider.

Caroline is experienced on both a personal and professional level so it was very comforting to interact with someone that really knew what my circumstances felt like. Caroline is also very genuine and extremely devoted and dedicated which made my coaching experience a life changing one. I am very grateful for all the effort that Caroline had made with me that will enable me to realise all my hopes, dreams, goals and aspirations.

Caroline is highly professional and very caring person toward her clients. She really helped me focus on my strengths and stay focused on the positive things in my career. She also worked with me to polish both my personal and profession short and long term goals. Her coaching extended to address any personal requirement and she is a professional person with relevant experience beyond her field expertise in of careers and education. Caroline is very well-organised and was prompt on taking action after each coaching session we had. She is always welcoming, positive, energetic, creative, very understanding and supportive and she keeps in touch after the coaching contract.

I reached out to Caroline at an important point in my career. Her balanced, yet objective, and personalised approach really supported me through the challenges of transitioning into a more complex senior role. Her exceptional listening skills allowed her to guide me to the core of issues and explore opportunities for the way forward with ease, and her patience with me was second to none. My only regret was not starting the journey sooner!

Caroline is an experienced professional who is easy to connect with on a personal level.  I think this is what matters the most for business coaching.  She is an excellent listener and observer and she created a very personal experience.

Before I started having sessions with Caroline I wasn’t able to manage certain things such as the topic and subjects I want to study and the university requirements for my courses. I would say the experience of coaching helped me so much because it allowed to me have an idea of what I wanted to do in the future and I worked with Caroline to design a simple plan that helped me get my work done in time, therefore this allowed me to focus on other subjects without having other things get in the way. Overall, the impact of coaching sessions made me realize I need to take things step by step and not do it all at once so I’m grateful for the support that was given to me by Caroline. Thank you for everything.

Caroline delivered some fantastic training in Seoul; the staff enjoyed it, found it really useful and have given extremely positive feedback. They are already asking when she’s coming back! I will be sharing Caroline’s details with the others in my network – I am sure they will be able to make good use of the programmes and the bespoke training she provides.

It was an absolute delight to work with Caroline who designed the British Embassy’s ‘Lift as you Grow’ Mentoring Programme and delivered introductory workshops for our cohort of mentors and mentees.  She laid a fabulous foundation to get our groups prepared and we are truly appreciative of her and Sameera’s engaging nature and style of connecting with respective audiences in both English and Arabic. Caroline’s calm, sincere, and engaging manner drew in the participants and helped them connect and understand content and expectations.  To witness that level of engagement from the very start of the session was so uplifting despite being a virtual event hosted across three countries and we look forward to continued collaboration.

I would not hesitate to recommend Caroline for any services related to the compilation of professional documentation pertaining to seeking employment, cover letter, CVs as well as tutoring in the use of the English language. Her product is polished and flawless. She responds to all correspondence within 24 hours and delivers in a short period of time. I am very grateful for her assistance.

Caroline was fantastic at listening and understanding what I wanted to say in the personal statement for my Master’s application; she helped me to re-word my writing so it was concise and clear while still enabling me to say how I genuinely felt. She helped me to question and evaluate why I wanted to study the Master’s I had chosen. Also, whilst going through my personal statement, Caroline helped develop my writing skills by explaining how to structure effectively and use the appropriate grammar. Overall, my experience with Caroline was beyond expectations in all areas.

“Caroline listened attentively to my needs and these were reflected within the CV. She was very patient and made amendments as requested. I would highly recommend her services.”

The Creative Writing programme which I took part in last year with a group of people in a number of different countries was both enjoyable and informative. The fact that it was online made it accessible as I was travelling a lot. A range of genres were covered and I particularly liked the structure of the sessions which allowed for discussion, focus on a particular aspect of writing and time to ‘give it a go’. Caroline created a good rapport with the class making it a safe and encouraging environment in which to share ideas. I had wanted to begin writing but I am a natural procrastinator; this was a good way to kick-start my writing journal. Thank you!

Elaine Hall

(Teacher, Cairo, Egypt)


As an older person, writing my first book, I was fairly anxious about ‘returning to school’ with Caroline (who had been recommended to me). I need not have worried. She was very welcoming and put me at my ease. That said, she is very competent and sensitively straight talking – if you don’t want to know what she thinks then don’t ask her. Her delivery methods were enjoyable and interactive. I shall be attending again.

The GCSE tuition sessions I had online with Caroline were very helpful as we covered aspects of both the Literature and Language courses. Lessons were very engaging and Caroline delivers in a unique way incorporating many different activities as well as video clips and shared documents. It was fun and improved my understanding. I enjoyed all aspects of the tuition sessions and, in particular, looking through past questions together and working through written responses which I could then use as a template for the future which made other questions much easier to understand and answer. My final GCSE grades for Literature and Language exceeded my expectations.

Caroline has tutored two of my children over the past 4 years. She has taught GCSE and A-Level subjects including English Literature, English Language and Theatre Studies. With great knowledge and skill she got my children through their stressful exam periods and always kept her wonderful sense of humour. A top class tutor who has an excellent rapport and belief in her students which is evident in the great results achieved.

Caroline has been homeschooling our two daughters for over a year for IGCSE English Literature and Language as well as Geography and General Studies. She is an outstanding teacher who has the perfect balance between working very hard but at the same time making it fun. In the past, My youngest daughter disliked English as a subject and now it is one of her favourites. I give Caroline all credit for this turn around and recommend her highly.

Ms. Caroline is a professional and motivating tutor. I enjoy her online classes very much. She has great experience of teaching on all levels from beginner to advanced. Most importantly, she helped me in a very short time, to improve my overall level of English and my vocabulary. Her classes are both efficient and fun!

Nadine Elsharkawi

I had a wonderful time as Caroline’s student. She was more like a sweet, fun aunt tutoring me rather than a strict, boring teacher. Before I met her I had got a D on my English Language A-Level and when I tried for it again after taking classes for six months with Caroline I got an A! She knew exactly what to teach me with her guidance everything turned out really well. I learnt a lot and most importantly I enjoyed learning from her. I’ll never forget her as my teacher and I’d recommend her to anyone who needs the help.

My 10 year old son has been with Caroline for almost one year now. We found Caroline initially through her life coaching sessions. My son quickly learnt to trust Caroline (she has a lovely easy going personality) and verbalise his feelings. More recently he’s started having Geography/History lessons with Caroline. She understands his learning style and tailors the lessons to his interests. I’m happy to recommend Caroline for both her Teen Coaching services as well as her tuition services.

Language coaching with Caroline was, overall, beyond expectations and that includes her ability to design lessons to match my specific needs. Many thanks for your coaching Caroline – it was really helpful and I would definitely recommend your services.
