Tutor Profile

Dora

English & Maths teacher specialising in SEN and exam preparation

I am a highly qualified, QTS-registered teacher with over 17 years’ experience delivering outstanding results in English and Mathematics across independent schools, state schools, Further Education and Local Authority-commissioned Alternative Provision. I am widely trusted by families and professionals for my ability to secure academic progress.

Teaching Experience

I prepare students for 11+, ISEB 11+/13+, 16+, CEM YELLIS, UKiset, GCSE/IGCSE, A-Level, IB and IELTS. My in-depth understanding of exam specifications enables students to perform confidently under pressure. I have extensive experience delivering statutory education for students unable to access mainstream schooling and work closely with Local Authorities, schools and families. I am highly experienced in supporting learners with ASD, ADHD, PDA, dyslexia, SEMH needs and EAL backgrounds, combining SEN expertise with high-stakes exam knowledge.

Tutoring Approach

What sets me apart is my ability to balance high expectations with emotional safety. I create calm, structured learning environments where students feel secure and understood. I place strong emphasis on rebuilding confidence, making my approach particularly effective for students who are anxious, disengaged or academically behind. I combine strong academic credentials (MA in English, PGCert Dyslexia, Mathematics ITT) with professional authority, As a former school governor, I bring a whole-school understanding of safeguarding and accountability, offering families confidence as well as results.

Dora has been amazing with my daughter. So supportive and encouraging. My daughter has always struggled with maths and she comes home after her sessions with Dora in a very positive frame of mind and is now much more confident about passing her GCSE.
