Ignite passion
for learning
About
My name is Laurence, and I founded Ignite Learning to help students rediscover curiosity, confidence, and enjoyment in learning.
I provide personalised mathematics tuition in North London and online, supporting students from primary school through to university.
My approach focuses on building deep understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills rather than memorisation alone.
Above all, my goal is to help students develop the confidence and curiosity that allow them not just to succeed in exams, but to enjoy learning itself.
What We Offer
Mathematics Tuition
From an early age I had a passion and affinity for mathematics, puzzles, and problem solving. My goal is to ignite and nurture that in your child.
We are in an era where facts and information are only one ChatGPT prompt away, and our critical thinking abilities are being eroded by AI.
The future will reward those who can think for themselves, rather than those who can simply recall things they memorised.
I tutor all ages up to university in mathematics, with an emphasis on building critical thinking and problem solving skills from an early age.
Primary (11 plus & SATs preparation)
Secondary (pre-GCSE, GCSE, IB)
Sixth form / college (A-levels, IB)
Pre-university (MAT, STEP, cover letters)

Extra-curricular Tuition
There’s more to life than passing exams. Extra-curricular tuition can ignite a real-life passion for learning (beyond the curriculum) that can last into adulthood.
