As a specialist tutor with a 12-year experience, I am committed to the success of my students and provide a friendly learning environment so that they can gain in confidence and indeed succeed. In the last round of exams, I am proud to say that all my students secured places at the best private and/or grammar schools in South-East London (Alleyn’s, St Dunstan’s, Dulwich College, Colfe’s, JAGS, Whitgift, Trinity, Eltham College, Wilson Grammar, Wallington High School, St Olaves, Newstead Woods, etc.) With a life-time in education and teaching, I also believe in providing strong foundations, so that students not only succeed in entering the school of their choice, but also flourish once there.

My sessions offer:

- a one-to-one focus to address your child's unique ways to learn so he/she can attain the expected level of attainment in all subjects (English, including Persuasive and Creative Writing; Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning; interview coaching).

- a thorough knowledge of the requirements for each specific selective test.

- the in-depth study of all subjects and specific exam techniques.

- parents and children support for what can be a daunting process.

Consultation about grammar and independent schools in the local area also available.

I teach online and in-person. My contacts: [email protected] / 0749 7767 661.

I am always happy to have an initial conversation if required.

"We've just accepted one of the school offers for our son and are happy the whole 11+ process is over! If you're looking for a safe pair of hands, I'd highly recommend Caroline Perret as an 11+ tutor. She covers all the 11+ topics in 1:1 sessions on Zoom. She tutored our son weekly from the beginning of year 5 until the exams. As our son was in a state primary school and we/parents don't have experience with 11+, we relied on Caroline's guidance. She taught him lots of techniques and stretched him to be at the right level for the schools he wanted to go for. She also managed the ups and downs of his mood and motivation well to keep it stress free. The homework was also reasonable. My son got an offer in all 3 schools he applied to as well as an academic scholarship: Highgate school (in North West London), Alleyns and Eltham college.”

"If you’re looking for tuition for your child (for the 11 plus, entrance exams or to support primary school curriculum learning) we can recommend Caroline Perret who tutored our son. Caroline is filled with a love of learning herself and makes the sessions engaging and enjoyable while at the same time identifying the areas in which the child needs support. A recipe for stress free success."

"Caroline tutored my son over Zoom prior to him sitting exams for senior school.  Their sessions were always very calm and focussed and Caroline managed to cover a lot of content with him in a short time including maths, English, verbal and non-verbal reasoning. If you are looking to support your child through these 11+ / senior school exams, as well as persuasive and creative writing, I would highly recommend Caroline.”

"Caroline is a kind, warm and inspiring tutor. My 10-year-old daughter always looked forward to her sessions with Caroline and she became very well prepared for her 11+ exams."

"We were very happy indeed with Caroline - Imogen and Bailey both got offers from all schools applied for, and Bailey has two academic scholarships and a third scholarship interview, so they have done wonderfully - thank you!"

"When tutoring my son Theo, Caroline was really committed and was brilliant for keeping him motivated. They had a really nice relationship. She has an amazing ability to make the lessons fun and was always coming up with inventive ways of teaching. I've just asked my son if he wanted to add anything and he said: "She knew me really well."

"I have known Caroline for around four years and she has taught two of my four children. In terms of teaching content, I have found her to be a very well-prepared and diligent teacher, with creative ideas about how to engage the children, taking into account differing needs. She is very personable and popular with the children - they have always very much looked forward to seeing her. On the practical side, she is organised, punctual and communicative."

"I am the parent of a child whom Caroline has recently tutored. She has adeptly guided my daughter through the 11+ content required for some competitive local secondary schools and taught her even more besides! Just as importantly, my daughter has loved her sessions with Caro and they have helped instill what I hope will be a lifelong love for learning, in her! Caroline is awesome and I shall use her for my younger children, when the time comes!"

"Caroline has great expertise in guiding and preparing children for their 11+ and academic scholarships whilst ensuring that the process remains fun and stress-free. Our daughter was eventually offered an academic scholarship to the school of our choice and so we were delighted with the outcome and would recommend Caroline wholeheartedly."

    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
    • Unless you're 5 years old or have been living in a cave for several decades you can't be for real. I don't believe that you're genuinely confused by this, no one who has access to newspapers, the tv news, the internet would ask this. Either you're an infant, or have recently woken up from a coma after decades, or you're a supercilious tw*t
