About Dolphin Tutors

With a passion for academic study, I am a Biomedical sciences graduate from Cardiff University, which is part of the Russell Group.  I have four A levels and eleven GCSEs, and began tutoring when I started university.  Having previously worked and volunteered in schools, nurseries and as a nanny, it was a natural next step to share my love of learning with young people and inspire them to reach their full potential and achieve the very best examination results.  

I have over 3 years of tutoring experience supporting students with the learning, revision and exam techniques tailored to their own needs and their specific examination boards.  I hold a current DBS and safeguarding certificate.

On a personal note, I have two younger sisters, ages eighteen and fifteen. Being close to them, and tutoring them allows me to understand the struggles that teens experience through school. 

I am a patient, caring and enthusiastic person who appreciates every young person’s learning experience is unique, as are their distinct goals. Having attended both independent and state schools, I have the understanding and life-skills to build a relationship and mutual trust with students, and adapt my teaching style and approach to suit every individual’s way of learning. While I have mature outlook, I have the benefit of youth and my students find me relatable and supportive.

My extensive knowledge and passion for every specialist subject is compelling, and by making every lesson inspiring and enjoyable, my students can focus and rapidly discover a new confidence and soon are leaping towards their academic success.  

I first discovered online tutoring during the covid pandemic as a student, and I was immediately surprised by how much I could learn and progress in a 50-minute lesson.  In many ways, I found online lessons to be more effective and efficient than being in the classroom especially with the focussed and teaching techniques tailored for my individual needs and ways of learning.  

Without a doubt, online learning helped me achieve A*/As at A Level.  Online learning can be great for those who move schools and need to fill-in some essential gaps in subject knowledge. Likewise, for those who go through some anxious times in school, online tutoring can provide skills and an unrecognisable new-found confidence with studies both at home and in the classroom . 

The popularity of online learning has soared as families have discovered the remarkable benefits of the digital learning environment.  Not only convenient for those juggling busy family lives, my students flourish in the safe and comfortable online setting away from the classroom, which can bring other unwanted pressures. Some students just need that extra little boost with the subject knowledge or learning techniques to help them reach their potential.

Whether you choose a 1-1 or small group lessons, my caring and nurturing approach allows students to be at ease and can explore their ideas and discuss different perspectives. My students always enjoy their lessons and, with rapid growth in focus, confidence and new study techniques, they learn to work at pace and will always leap to academic success.
