UK Families | Lionheart Education

Why families come to Lionheart

Families come to us when something isn’t working, or when they want to ensure their child’s potential is being met. Common scenarios we have seen include:

Competitive school entry

Preparing for 7+, 11+, 13+ or sixth form demands joined-up strategy. Families need structured preparation, clear benchmarking, and insight into what schools really look for.

Learning needs

Plenty of students need more tailoring than a busy classroom can offer, with or without a diagnosis. We help parents understand what is really going on, then put the right people around their child.

Loss of confidence or disengagement

A dip in grades is rarely about ability. It may be a gap in understanding, a mismatch in teaching style, or something more complex. Early support prevents small issues becoming entrenched.

Inconsistent schooling experience

Even in excellent schools, teaching styles, class sizes, or staff changes can leave students unstretched, unsupported, or quietly slipping behind.

High potential without direction

Some children have ability that isn’t being nurtured: bright thinkers who are under-challenged, bored, or coasting. We help them rediscover purpose and progression.

Exploring alternatives to mainstream schooling

Some families need something a traditional school can't give, usually more structure or more flexibility, for a term or for good. We run full homeschooling programmes and shorter arrangements for children between schools.

Our Core Services

Tutoring is only part of what we do. Families usually need academic support and a clear plan together, and we build both around the child rather than around a service. Some need one piece of that for a single term. Others stay with us for years.

Private tuition

One-to-one tuition in every major subject, 7+ entry up to A-level, in person or online. Lessons follow your child's school curriculum and move at their pace. Button: Discover

Homeschooling

Full or part-time homeschooling, designed and run by our team. We handle the curriculum, tutors, timetable, assessment and exam entries, so your child gets the consistency of a school without being in one.

Educational consultancy

Strategic advice at each stage of the UK school system. That covers assessments, school selection, applications, interview preparation and a longer-term academic plan.

Lionheart School

Our London school offers full and part-time education in a highly personalised setting. It is built for students in transition, including those between schools, recovering from a setback, or preparing to move on to leading boarding schools, sixth form colleges and universities.

Specialist Services

Bespoke support when it matters most

Some problems are bigger than a gap in a subject. When a child’s learning has been knocked off course, families need people who have handled it before and can steady things quickly.

Educational transitions & crises

Disruption unsettles strong learners too. We step in discreetly, put structure back in place and get the child’s learning moving again, so they are never left without support while the wider situation is resolved.

SEND & learning support

We build tailored programmes for students with diagnosed or suspected learning differences, often working alongside SENCOs, psychologists and therapists.
Special Education Needs Autism Spectrum Disorder Attention Deficit Disorder
Mental health & emotional wellbeing

When a student is struggling emotionally, academic progress usually stalls. Our support puts wellbeing first and brings in the right specialists, so learning can resume when the child is ready.

Eton or Harrow? Boarding or day?

Our consultants bring deep knowledge of the UK’s leading schools and take time to understand your child’s strengths, temperament, and ambitions.

Specialist Learning Needs

“We’d tried every intervention the school could offer, but nothing truly helped. Lionheart saw what was going on within minutes. The change in his confidence and day-to-day learning has been remarkable — he finally feels understood.”

School Admissions Support

“We were completely overwhelmed by the maze of London school admissions — state, independent, waiting lists, timings. Lionheart cut through the noise instantly. They understood our son, shortlisted schools that were the right fit, and guided us through every step. We couldn’t have done it without them.”
