My Story
Mandy Tilt BA (Hons), Cert Ed, ADG.
I have held academic leadership roles in performing arts colleges in London for the last 25 years, and have gained a wealth of experience in education and working with young people. My belief is that all students can achieve their potential with the correct support and learning strategies. I have seen this first hand when helping physically gifted students achieve their full potential academically, allowing them to maximise their success in a competitive environment.
On a personal level, one of my teenage daughters was diagnosed with dyslexia at an early age. I saw her struggles on a daily basis and it was not until she started getting the correct help that she began to make any progress. I could see how not having the right support can have a detrimental impact on a child into adulthood. This led me to further study and build on my teaching experience as I completed qualifications in Strategic Teaching Support for Dyslexia and Literacy through the Dyslexia Action Training and Professional Development body.
My mission is to empower those individuals with dyslexia and additional learning needs to reach their full potential.

Testimonials
Kate (mum to Zac, Year 4)
Mandy was recommended to me by my son's school. He was diagnosed with dyslexia not long into Year 3. He is intelligent but was getting more frustrated and started to dislike going into school due to his struggles with reading and writing. Mandy has helped him enormously. He looks forward to his sessions with Mandy and he has started to enjoy reading. She is very caring and encouraging and the strategies she has used with Zac have really benefited his overall learning.
Lisa (mum to Bella, Year 11)
My daughter was facing challenges with her learning when heading towards her GCSEs. From the very first session, Mandy took the time to understand Bella’s learning needs and identify the specific areas where she needed support.
Bella’s confidence noticeably improved, and she felt significantly more prepared heading into her GCSEs compared to her mocks.
English was her biggest area of challenge, and we were all incredibly happy that she achieved three grades higher than she was predicted in her English literature and two grades higher in her English language. This is in no small part due to Mandy’s ongoing encouragement and support.
Sarah (mum to Rory, Year 9 going into Year 10)
Mandy was recommended to me by a friend after the school suggested that Rory had a dyslexia appraisal. Mandy is very supportive and explained the process and the outcomes of the appraisal thoroughly to Rory and me. Rory has been taught by Mandy for the last year, his confidence has really improved and he is happier at school. Rory is now doing better in all his subjects and is realising that he can learn and achieve. Mandy's skilled and thoughtful approach to learning is benefitting Rory hugely. I highly recommend.
Lisa (mum to Millie, age 14)
Mandy was recommended by a friend. She was very caring and took a personalised approach to tutoring sessions, taking time to get to know my daughter, her learning style and interests to keep the sessions engaging and interesting. Mandy made it much easier for me and my daughter to navigate and understand dyslexia, and my daughter's confidence has noticeably improved since she started working with Mandy. I would highly recommend her!
Adriana (BA (Hons) Student)
Ultimately, Mandy's patience, kindness, knowledge and professionalism did not only help me as a neurodiverse student to complete my degree but she also helped me to see my dyslexia in a whole new light. The encouragement I received from Mandy in my tutorials brought so much in a positive and safe learning environment. In the time I spent with Mandy, I developed more academically than I had throughout my whole school education. I can't thank her enough for how dedicated and involved she was in furthering my knowledge and understanding. I always felt highly supported by her.
