CARES Tutoring and Consultancy Services in short
CARES Tutoring and Consultancy Services is a Shifnal practice founded by a qualified teacher, SENCO and SEND specialist, pairing one-to-one maths tuition with dyslexia screening, SEND guidance, EHCP support and school liaison [1]. Prices run per service from short SPAG sessions to full assessments, all bookable online [1]. In our view it is the standout pick for families navigating possible learning differences.
What customers say backs that view: five out of five from nineteen Google reviews on its public listing [3]. That is a deep base of parent feedback for a small practice, and it spans tuition and assessment work alike. No other review source was found, but the Google base alone counts strongly.
What counts against CARES is unpublished scaffolding: no company record or trading-years statement was found, so its history cannot be dated, and no insurance details are published [1] [2]. Our review still places it third, carried by evidence where it matters most.
Our verdict
Our judgement: CARES suits families in Shifnal dealing with possible learning differences, pairing tuition with screening, EHCP support and school liaison [1]. The priced service menu is unusually complete [1]. It counts against it that company history and insurance details are unpublished.

Questions about CARES Tutoring and Consultancy Services
Is CARES Tutoring any good?
Our assessment says yes, especially where learning differences are in play. The founder is described as a qualified teacher, SENCO and SEND specialist, and the priced service menu runs from short SPAG sessions to full assessments with online booking [1]. Gaps sit in company history and insurance detail rather than in the teaching offer.
Is CARES registered with a trade scheme?
Qualified-teacher status is stated on the business's own website, which is the only place the claim appears [1]. No mandatory register covers private tutors, so there is no licence to look up. Ask what sits behind the founder's SENCO and SEND-specialist descriptions.
What does CARES charge?
The site lists prices per service: short SPAG and maths sessions from twenty-five pounds, hourly maths from forty pounds, and assessments at two hundred and twenty to three hundred pounds, all bookable online [1]. Ask what each written report includes before you pay for an assessment.
