Deborah Browne

I’m an experienced tutor and educator with over a decade of teaching and mentoring experience, specialising in English, literacy, study skills, and learner confidence. I hold a First-Class Honours degree in English Literature, a PGCE, and I’m currently studying for an ILM Level 5 Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring.

My teaching style is inclusive, calm, and student-centred. I adapt each session to suit the learner’s pace, goals, and interests, while using a strengths-based, neuro-affirming approach. Whether you’re preparing for KS2 SATs, Functional Skills English or Maths, working on writing skills, or developing fluency in ESOL, I’ll meet you where you are - and help you build the confidence and clarity to move forward.

In lessons, I use a mix of discussion, interactive activities, scaffolding techniques, and feedback loops to help you understand not just what to learn, but how to learn. If you're neurodivergent or haven’t felt successful in traditional settings, I’ll help you find what works for your brain, not someone else’s idea of how learning should look.

My goal is always to help learners feel capable, empowered, and proud of their progress.
