Our Story
With over 35 years’ experience, there’s very little we haven’t seen
As one of the UK’s first tuition companies to offer truly bespoke programmes, we saw early on that one-to-one teaching could offer more than academic advantage. It could rebuild confidence, spark curiosity, and reveal potential that classrooms often overlook.
Since 1989, that belief has shaped our work. Starting with a handful of families in London to now supporting an international community, the principle remains unchanged: education should shape the individual, not just the pupil.
About Lionheart
"We truly believe that education should be taught by teachers and not tech, and that personal connection is frankly just as important to young people as air and water."

Our Ethos
Old school values meet new school thinking
We combine timeless principles — discipline, integrity, mentorship — with the best of modern educational insight. Our students are given structure and stretch, alongside the space to reflect, grow, and think independently.
We’re not just preparing students for exams, but for the long term. We help them build the clarity, confidence and character to define success on their own terms.

Our Tutors
Credentials & character to match
When your rugby-obsessed son discovers his Oxford maths tutor once captained the Blues, equations become conversations. When an aspiring doctor learns from a practising surgeon, textbook knowledge becomes real-world insight.
We do not simply match subjects to students, but give great care to the dynamic between tutor and student. That is what turns tutoring into mentorship and learning into something that lasts.
