Meet Dave

Tutor, Trainer, and Assessor

I’m Dave, a passionate tutor, trainer, and assessor dedicated to helping others through education and support. I specialise in delivering non-accredited courses such as Alcohol and Drug Skills Awareness, Alcohol and Drug Knowledge Awareness, and Cannabis Awareness.

I tailor Trauma Informed Practice sessions for specific organisations, having worked with a care home for asylum seekers in Manchester and a homeless charity in Rotherham. My expertise extends to Mental Health and Substance Use, highlighting their link to suicide. I believe in the power of ‘Lived Experience’ to transform lives, helping volunteers transition into paid work.

I specialise in delivering courses that are aimed at equipping the workforce with the required skills and knowledge to tackle complex and multi-faceted issues, such as Drug and/or Alcohol issues, for example; Cannabis Awareness, Mixing Cocaine and Alcohol (potential impact), Working with Asylum Seekers and dealing with Trauma.

How I work

I take a personalised approach to tutoring, training, and assessment, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of the individuals and organizations I work with. My process begins with understanding the specific goals and challenges of my clients. I then design interactive and engaging sessions that encourage participation and practical learning. By incorporating real-life experiences and case studies, I ensure that the content is relatable and impactful. My aim is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to apply their new skills and knowledge effectively.
