Carolyn Mathews BSC, PGCE, PgC.
Welcome to a learning space where your child is truly seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive. I believe that every child needs a strong foundation of emotional safety and confidence to ground them, giving them the roots they need to grow. Only then can they discover their true potential and gain the wings to fly.
With over 20 years of teaching experience, I provide personalized learning support that nurtures the whole child—building confidence, emotional well-being, and academic skills together. Many children struggle with more than just schoolwork. They may feel anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated, or believe they are “not good enough.” Whether your child goes to school or is educated at home, I aim to help them feel safe, capable, and confident in themselves again.
Flexible Support Tailored to Your Family:
-
For School-Attending Children: Targeted after-school sessions to close learning gaps, reduce homework anxiety, and catch up on foundational math, reading, and writing.
-
For Homeschooled Children: Flexible daytime sessions that integrate smoothly into your home education routine, sparking a love for learning without the friction.
-
A Calmer Approach: No rigid repetition or stressful test-drills. Every session uses interactive, enjoyable methods designed for children under 12.
My Qualifications & Specialties:
-
BSc Psychology with Honours
-
Master’s-Level Specialization in Education
-
Master’s-Level Specialization in Autism Spectrum Support
-
BSc in Psychology
-
20+ Years of teaching experience across diverse learning needs
I understand that every child learns differently. There is no “one size fits all” approach, which is why every session is bespoke—built entirely around your child’s individual strengths, needs, and learning style. If your child is struggling to cope with the classroom environment, experiencing school refusal, or needing specialized neurodivergent support, I provide the gentle, targeted intervention they need to succeed.

My daughter has been seeing Carolyn for tutoring on a weekly basis for over a year. We have seen such an improvement in her confidence in math, reading, and writing. Carolyn creates activities and games related to the material that are interesting and engaging. I would highly recommend Carolyn if your child needs a boost in their learning.
