Who Is Carol?

Welcome to Carol’s Tutoring! I’m Carol Murdoch, the founder, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to our community. With over two decades of experience in education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to the field as a dedicated teacher, educational consultant, and author.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse educational settings, from mainstream schools to ASD bases and severe and complex provision. These experiences have shaped my understanding of the unique needs of children and inspired me to establish Carol’s Tutoring in 2017.

My journey as a student wasn’t without its challenges, particularly in mathematics. However, overcoming these hurdles fueled my ability to teach math effectively today. As a young carer, I left school at 16, but my passion for empowering young learners led me back to complete my Primary Education degree at the University of Edinburgh in 2009. I completed my Masters degree there in 2023.

Beyond teaching, I’m also trained as a life coach and mindfulness master, allowing me to provide comprehensive support to children and their mindset. I also have another business as an educational consultant. I specialize in curriculum-based outdoor learning, reflecting my belief in the transformative power of nature.

Outside of work, I find solace and inspiration in the great outdoors, whether it’s enjoying leisurely walks, kayaking, or exploring hidden gems in my campervan named Winny.

My expertise and insights have been featured in reputable publications such as The Guardian, The Daily Record, The Telegraph, and BBC. I’m proud to have received the Woman Who Achieves Award and to be recognized as Scotland’s premier primary school tutor for two consecutive years.

I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed organizations like Twinkl, University of Dundee, Queen Margaret University, West Lothian College, and various councils throughout Scotland, contributing to the development of educational resources and initiatives.

At Carol’s Tutoring, my mission is to empower children, support parents, and shape a brighter future through personalized and holistic education. Join us on this transformative learning journey!
