About Doran
Real-World Teaching Experience and Curriculum Development
Doran brings a unique blend of hands-on teaching and curriculum development experience, having served as a university tutor, head tutor, and substitute lecturer for Computer Science subjects. He has also designed classroom materials and led lessons for students ranging from primary school children in volunteer settings to adult learners. This direct exposure to diverse age groups allows him to adapt his tutoring approach to each student''s needs, ensuring concepts are communicated clearly—whether tackling maths problems or exploring English language skills.
Innovative Approach through Technology and Performance Arts
With over 20 years in software engineering, including mentoring roles and the creation of accessible technical guides, Doran is adept at breaking down complex topics into manageable steps. His current focus on acting, improvisation, and movement-based arts infuses his sessions with creativity and energy. He frequently incorporates interactive techniques inspired by performance training—such as using storytelling or physical engagement—to help students grasp abstract ideas in maths and English.
Passion for Lifelong Learning and Student Empowerment
Doran’s enthusiasm for learning extends beyond formal education; he actively pursues mathematics, computer science, and languages in his own time. His experience volunteering to teach basic computer skills in remote communities demonstrates his commitment to making knowledge accessible for all learners. Parents can expect this tutor not only to deliver subject content effectively but also to inspire curiosity, resilience, and confidence in their children’s academic journeys.
