Is your child struggling at school because they have not yet mastered the basics? Or perhaps, they are doing well already but need help to achieve those top grades?
At Lantern Tutors we specialise in online small-group tuition in English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics for GCSE, iGCSE, A-level and IB Diploma examinations.
We are four highly experienced school teachers, academics and examiners who deliver comprehensive tutoring that promotes an in-depth understanding of our subjects.

We are all highly experienced school teachers, academics and examiners and all teaching is given by us.
I teach Secondary English Literature and Language at GCSE and A-level. My BA Degree in English Literature and Film is from Sheffield Hallam University and I completed my PGCE in English and Drama at Cambridge University.
Having started my career in a comprehensive school in East London, I then moved abroad. I worked at an ESF school in Hong Kong and I was Head of Language at an International school in Portugal before moving back to London in 2019.
With 15 years experience, I have a detailed knowledge of many syllabi including; iGCSE, MYP, A-level and IB Diploma.
Since 2018, I have been an examiner for the IB Diploma English Literature and Language course. Also, I am an examiner for the AQA A-level Literature and GCSE Language & Literature courses.
I teach Mathematics and Physics at all secondary school levels and have taught Physics undergraduates at the University of Oxford and supervised post-graduate Financial Mathematics students from Imperial College London. Additionally, I am an assessment specialist for the Cambridge International Examination Board in both iGCSE Physics and A-Level Further Mathematics.
I have a doctorate in Atomic Physics from the University of Oxford and am a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.
I particularly enjoy teaching students who are struggling with my subjects, as this is where I can make the most difference.
For over twenty years I worked as a mathematician for banks in London and Standard Chartered in Singapore and I've spent ten years researching and studying Physics at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble in France, the University of Oxford, the University of Warwick and the University of Cambridge.
I am a qualified Biology teacher at all secondary school levels. I have been teaching for over twenty years in state schools, independent schools, boarding schools and an international school in Madrid in Spain.
Biology is enjoyed by most, but students can be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content to memorise and apply. I guide students so that they can revise more effectively and focus on using the specification to ensure learning is thorough.
I have been an examiner for the OCR A-level exam board for many years which gives me first-hand experience of exam structure and the complete exam assessment process.
I gained my Biomedical Science degree and Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) at the University of Birmingham.
I am a qualified Chemistry teacher at all secondary school levels and have been working in state and independent schools for eighteen years. I gained my Chemistry degree at the University of Nottingham and completed my PGCE at King's College London.
I enjoy helping young people navigate through secondary school - whether it’s explaining how to plan a revision timetable, showing examples of different revision techniques or how to answer a six mark question - I am here to give supportive advice.
My lessons are built around making students feel comfortable about answering a variety of questions and understanding that learning from mistakes is one of the best ways to improve.

Many of our students go onto highly rated UK and international universities. However, we also enjoy helping those who are struggling with our subjects. Whatever the goal, it always makes us happy watching our students achieve.
“Hi Davina... I got A*A*A overall with an A* in biology...Once again thanks so much for all the help and support and I couldn't have done it without you! I'm off to London School of Economics next month which is all very exciting.”
A-Level Biology
"We are absolutely thrilled with Julian from Lantern Tutors! My son has always found math to be challenging, but Julian’s teaching style has truly made a difference. He is patient, knowledgeable, and knows how to make complex concepts easy to understand. My son has gone from struggling in math to actually enjoying it, which is a huge win for us. Julian is always punctual, professional, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a fantastic math tutor. Thank you, Julian, for helping my son excel in math!"
GCSE Mathematics
"Hi Davina. He found the day extremely beneficial and you unlocked the key to the crucial marks. You really are a genius tutor XXX"
GCSE Biology
“Amanda is just wonderful! She helped my son gain confidence and reach his full potential through her dedicated teaching and encouragement. She brings out the best in her students! We are lucky to have found her."
A-Level Chemistry
"It was great to work together for the past year and I have improved so much. I am considering A level English as I think it's a subject that I really have started to enjoy. I will let you know for sure if i decide to take it. It has been great to learn such great texts which I used to find very difficult.
Thank you again for helping me with English and I have enjoyed our session and English as a subject since we first met back in August!
My parents would like me to pass on their thanks as they can see my improvement from a 6 to a 9 which they are so happy about!"
