About Our Founders

Pawprints Tuition was founded by Dilan and Tia to provide personalised, flexible tutoring for every learner. We specialise in supporting SEN, home-educated, and adult students, using a spiral-based approach to build confidence and lasting understanding. Every student is as unique as a pawprint—and our service reflects that.

 

Here’s a bit about our Co-Founders, Dilan and Tia:

Tia’s passion for teaching ignited when she began tutoring her brother, who has special educational needs. Now, as a student of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, Tia combines her love for animals with a strong academic foundation in Science and Mathematics. 
With years of tutoring experience, Tia has helped numerous students achieve their academic goals. 
Tia started Pawprints Tuition after working online with students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Seeing the positive impact she could have on her students' lives, particularly in helping them overcome challenges and achieve their academic goals, inspired her to continue this work on a larger scale.
Tia wanted to create a service that not only provided tailored, high-quality education but also made online learning accessible and effective for all students, especially those with special educational needs.
