Information about Dana

Every student has their own way of learning, I aim to cater for every type of learner by listening and checking understanding throughout the sessions, going at a pace that suits the learner’s needs and customising the session in order to gain optimal results.


Each tutee will receive:

-Customised 1:1 support and coaching in preparation for the Sociology exam

-Homework assignments and detailed written and verbal feedback

-Revision techniques and memory strategies to help prepare for exams

-Support with organising a revision timetable to help structure time and workload efficiently

-Exam anxiety and stress management techniques (optional)


Students can choose between meeting in a local library, their home or online.

Feel free to contact me for any queries as I will always do my best to find a time and place that suits both.

Thank you.

Availability: Monday- Friday
I am happy to accommodate your tuition needs and ensure we find a time that suits you. I also like to stay flexible for students as I know life can be unpredictable. Happy to help :).

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: Enthusiastic about teaching and learning, I have a strong belief that every student is capable of achieving success through guidance, determination and hard work.

I graduated with a 2:1 in Psychology and Sociology Combined (Hons) degree.
During my first year at university, I became a mentor and coach to help other students with the strains and deadlines of their course, here I started to develop strong interpersonal and communication skills and a love of passing knowledge to others.

I then decided to take up a teaching qualification (PGCE) at Middlesex University and have been a teacher of Psychology and Sociology for 5 years. I now regularly tutor, coach and mentor young people with various needs including SEN, EAL and learning difficulties.

There are no boundaries to learning when a student has the appropriate tools to scaffold their knowledge and understanding. I aim to ensure my students feel empowered and have the confidence to use the tools they learn with me and apply them to the exams.

This is why I have been able to successfully help all my students as a friendly and warming relationship is essential in order to establish a trusting and on-going journey to success.

Dana has been an excellent tutor for my daughter. She has helped her to grow in confidence and she also tailored her tuition according to her needs. She was very beneficial and useful with essay feedback and very engaging with the A Level Sociology course as well as being very supportive, caring and providing constant feedback. I would highly recommend Dana to others as a sociology tutor!

My daughter was struggling with A level Sociology and after getting help from Dana, I saw a major improvement in her results and her confidence. Dana was very flexible and supportive, even providing help outside her tutor sessions. She communicated well, updating me with my daughter`s progress. Excellent tutor, highly recommend

Dana was a fantastic support for my daughter and helped her achieve an A at Sociology A Level. She is warm and engaging, and my daughter positively enjoyed her sessions, having not really loved the subject previously. This reduced a lot of stress as well as achieving an excellent result! Dana was highly flexible - for example, offering less frequent but longer sessions when needed, and encouraging my daughter to contact her by email in between with any queries. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
