What we cover
The tricky bits, gently untangled
Every child gets stuck somewhere different. These are the places we visit most often — always at your child’s pace, never with pressure.
Fractions & decimals
Pizza slices and chocolate bars first, notation second. It clicks much faster that way.
Place value & number bonds
The quiet building blocks everything else stands on — we make sure they’re rock solid.
Word problems
Turning long, wordy questions into small, friendly steps your child can trust.
Year 6 SATs prep
Calm, steady practice spread across the year — so May feels like just another week.
Maths confidence
For children who say “I’m just not a maths person.” (They are. They just don’t know it yet.)

About Lisa
Hello! Lovely to meet you.
I’m Lisa — a primary maths tutor based locally. After more than a decade in primary classrooms, I now spend my afternoons doing my favourite part of the job: sitting beside one child, finding the exact spot where maths stopped making sense, and gently building it back up from there.
Sessions with me are calm and full of encouragement. We use whiteboards, counters, card games — whatever helps the penny drop. Progress is measured in lightbulb moments, and in children who stop dreading their maths homework.
- 12+ years teaching in primary schools
- Enhanced DBS certificate
- Patient with maths anxiety
- A short note home after every session
How it works
Three small steps to a happier mathematician
A free hello
A relaxed 15-minute chat about your child — what they enjoy, where they wobble, and what you’d love to change.
A plan that fits
Our first session doubles as a gentle, game-based check-in. From it, I sketch a simple plan just for your child.
Weekly wins
Regular one-to-one sessions, with a short note home after each one so you always know what we worked on.
Kind words
From parents (and one very proud Year 4)
