Meet the Team

Lyndsay Bawden FCCT, MEd

Lyndsay has been teaching in Lincolnshire and nationally for over twenty years. She is a Specialist Leader in Education, a Senior Examiner, and has a Master’s degree in education. As a child, Lyndsay struggled with dyslexia, and fully appreciates how challenging it can be to struggle at school; this fuels her mission to support young people to succeed and, most importantly, be confident in themselves.

After teaching English for over 20 years, Lyndsay became increasingly aware that there were some children for whom the education system didn't always work. As a parent of a child with dyslexia and dyspraxia, she saw first-hand how hard it could be when learning was difficult, and school began to be a chore rather than a joy. From this, she began building up her tutoring business to use her love of English, and many years experience, to help children understand and succeed in English.

As a Senior Examiner for two exam boards, moderator, SATs and 11+ marker, she is able to guide your child to attain the highest marks in their exams, by sharing her years of experience in examining and using the most effective methods to ensure their success.
