Owen Dando

Hi! I’m Owen — a friendly, patient, and creative Learning & Development Specialist who has spent the 10 years helping learners grow in confidence, develop new skills, and reach their academic or professional goals.

My background spans higher education coaching, teaching, and instructional design. I hold a TAP Master Diploma in Learning and Development and have designed online courses, workshops, and virtual learning environments for universities and national training providers. I’ve supported hundreds of learners one-to-one and in groups, tailoring my approach to suit different needs, levels, and learning styles.

Some of the areas I can help with include:

• Study skills, organisation, and academic confidence
• Communication, presentation, and professional skills
• Reflective writing, assessment preparation, and career development
• Apprenticeship support (including e-portfolio building and EPA prep)

I take a calm, encouraging approach and always aim to create a supportive space where learners feel comfortable asking questions and exploring new ideas. My goal is simple: to help you feel capable, motivated, and excited about your learning.

If you're looking for someone who will listen, guide, and genuinely care about your progress, I’d love to work with you. Let’s get started!
