Tutor Profile
Teaching Experience
I currently work full-time as a Psychology teacher in a secondary school, where I am also Head of Department and I have many years’ experience teaching, tutoring and assessing Psychology, including marking for the AQA exam board.
Tutoring Approach
I believe Psychology is at its most interesting when students can see how it applies to the real world, so I like to bring lessons to life through relatable examples and practical applications. Most importantly, I tailor my teaching to each student and will meet you at whatever level you are currently working at, whether you’re looking to build your confidence, strengthen your understanding or push towards those top grades. My aim is always to make Psychology feel more accessible, engaging and achievable.

Excellent tuition so far. He is enjoying them, they are helping his learning and understanding, and I am kept well informed about what was covered in the lessons. I appreciate that very much. Well recommended.

My daughter is thoroughly enjoying lessons with Dawn and is getting really good grades (in year 12): As and Bs. Izzy is always relaxed during the lesson and her confidence has increased. Dawn is warm and kind, very easy to communicate with and we highly recommend her.

Dawn has been excellent with my daughter with such an improvement that she was able to get her predicted A grade in ALevel Psychology. This resulted in the top universities making offers. She is able to mark her practice papers & provide feedback on areas of improvement. Thank you for all your help.

Dawn has been my Psychology tutor for around 15 months and she’s been brilliant. She’s really helped me improve my A-level grade. She explains things clearly and in different ways, which makes the more difficult concepts easier to understand. She’s kind and supportive, I couldn’t recommend her more.

Dawn is so warm and friendly and went the extra mile to help my daughter catch up with learning A-level curriculum she had missed due to an illness-related absence from school. She quickly established rapport and offered information that was both targeted and user-friendly. My daughter loved her and was so grateful for her support. Money very well spent. I highly recommend.
