Who We Serve

International Families

The UK education system is globally recognised — but for families abroad, navigating it without local insight can be challenging. We support international families with tailored tuition, expert consultancy and flexible solutions before, during and after their move to the UK.

Why international families come to Lionheart

Families relocating to the UK — or trying to maintain continuity from abroad — often confront a cluster of overlapping challenges. These go well beyond finding a tutor. Common obstacles we encounter include:

Adapting to a new school system

Differences in curriculum, pace and assessment style can create early gaps.

Disruption during transition

Travel, time zones and delayed starts can lead to inconsistency or missed learning.

Applying from abroad

Gaining entry to top UK schools requires local insight, preparation and timing.

Language & academic fluency

Even strong English speakers may struggle with written work or exam technique.

Cultural adjustment

Unspoken rules, cultural codes and peer dynamics can affect confidence.

Specialist support abroad

Accessing SEND or emotional support that matches UK standards can be difficult from overseas.

Our Core Services

We help families worldwide secure the quality and consistency associated with top UK schools — ensuring steady progress whether you are planning a move, travelling frequently or managing education from overseas.

Private tuition

One-to-one support across all subjects and levels, delivered online or in person. We match students with experienced tutors who understand how to bridge international curriculum gaps and prepare them for success in UK classrooms or entrance exams.

Discover
Homeschooling

Flexible, high-quality homeschooling for families living abroad, between schools, or travelling. We design and manage full or part-time programmes with accredited UK curricula — including tutor oversight, lesson planning and exam entry.

Discover
Consultancy & admissions

Expert guidance through UK school admissions, from prep to sixth form. We advise on suitable schools, manage applications and assessments, and prepare students for interviews — often before families have even relocated.

Discover
Lionheart School

Our one-to-one school in central London provides part-time and full-time education for students in transition. It offers an ideal solution for families arriving mid-year, facing academic disruption, or needing a tailored landing place while longer-term plans are put in place.

Our specialist services

International moves can expose gaps that aren’t always academic: disrupted schooling, emotional strain, uncertainty about what ‘good’ provision should look like. Our specialist services bring together the right expertise — educational, pastoral and therapeutic — to ensure students remain supported, steady and moving forward, wherever they are in the world.

Educational transitions & crises

International moves can unsettle even the strongest learners. We provide structured support during periods of disruption — from sudden relocations to mid-year school changes — helping students re-establish academic rhythm and confidence.
SEND & learning support

For families abroad seeking UK-standard provision, we create tailored programmes for students with learning differences. Working alongside SENCOs, psychologists and therapists, we ensure every child receives support that is consistent, evidence-based and genuinely responsive to their needs.
Mental health & emotional wellbeing

Transitions often heighten emotional pressure. Our team coordinates specialist support for students experiencing anxiety, low mood or stress, ensuring they have the right professionals involved and a learning environment that feels secure, steady and manageable.

Relocation & School Admissions Support

We were relocating from Singapore and needed clarity on schools, timelines and tuition. Lionheart helped us prepare long before the move. I would advise any family looking to relocate to consider working with experts like Lionheart.

International & Residential Tuition

We travel frequently, so consistency was a concern. Lionheart built a homeschooling programme that worked wherever we were. Our young children are doing well and have got a great 'mentor' relation with their tutors.
