Carrie Burke, MA (Social Sciences) and PGCE, has over 15 years of experience working with parents, families, and schools to help children succeed academically and grow in confidence.
Her journey into tutoring began when family friends asked her to support their children-and it quickly became clear that she had a gift for helping students not only improve their grades but also develop independence and self-belief. This passion inspired the launch of Carrie Burke Tutor Work, which has since grown into a team of more than 30 tutors who follow the “Carrie Burke Tutor Work Way”, grounded in her values of connection, fun, recognition, and wholeheartedness.
Before founding her business, Carrie worked extensively in schools, giving her invaluable insight into the education system and the challenges children face. Today, she is recognised as a thought leader in the tuition sector, particularly in supporting children with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
Her expertise has been featured nationally in The Guardian and in local publications, where she shares insights on education, tutoring, and helping children thrive.
Carrie believes there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child achieve their full potential.
A mum herself to Joseph (and three cats), she brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to her work. Beyond tutoring, she enjoys dancing, fundraising for her community, and supporting her team to develop to their fullest potential.
We offer a wide range of services to suit your child’s needs. Regardless of age or subject, our focus goes beyond academic knowledge and achievement. With equal importance, we are dedicated to supporting your child’s emotional development and helping them become confident, independent learners. We work to build self-esteem, resilience, and self-belief so every child knows they are capable, deserving and able to succeed at school, college and beyond.
Whether it’s one-to-one private tuition in your home, or group sessions, we’re confident that our services will mirror your requirements.
Our tutors are highly experienced with either qualified teacher status or a specialist degree with at least 150 hours of tuition experience. This means we foster excellent progress and results from our students.
Contact us via phone, Whatsapp, email or the website form to let us know your child’s needs and goals.
We’ll arrange a friendly chat to understand your child, discuss options and recommend the best tuition or services.
Based on the consultation, we create a personalised programme designed to maximise your child’s academic progress and confidence.
Once your plan is confirmed, your child begins sessions with one of our expert tutors, with progress regularly reviewed to ensure they are thriving.
We keep you fully informed about your child’s progress with regular, clear updates. After each session, tutors provide actionable feedback, highlighting achievements, areas for improvement, and strategies to continue building confidence and academic skills.
We help your child develop self-belief and resilience alongside academic skills. By celebrating achievements, encouraging independent learning, and tackling challenges in a supportive way, we help students approach school and exams with confidence.
Our tuition is tailored to your child’s individual needs, focusing on areas where they need the most support. By identifying and addressing gaps in knowledge, we ensure your child builds a strong foundation for future learning and academic success.
Our sessions prepare children for what’s ahead, whether it’s exams, the start of a new academic year, or transitioning from primary to secondary school. We focus on exam technique, time management, and forward-thinking strategies, giving students the tools they need to succeed in the next stage of their education.
