The gap nobody talks about

Your child isn't
falling behind.
They're being held back.

In a class of thirty, the teacher's attention goes to the children who are struggling. The children who are coasting — the ones who could do much more if someone just expected it — they get left alone. Not because the teacher doesn't care. Because the system doesn't allow it.

Your child doesn't need more homework. They don't need a tutor to go over the same material again. They need higher expectations in a different environment — one built to match the child in front of it, not the age group they happen to be in.

Lumina is not for every child. It is for the child whose parent has always believed there was more in them.

What happens next

Five steps from
here to September.

1

Book

Fill in the form below. Takes 30 seconds. No payment required — ever, at this stage.

2

Receive

We post a taster workbook to your door. Your child has something real to hold before the session even starts.

3

Experience

Your child joins a live session — Reading Lab and Writing Lab, exactly as every week would be. The real thing.

4

Report

You receive a short, honest report on how your child performed and which level is right for them.

5

Decide

If Lumina is right for your child, enrol for September. If it isn't, you walk away. No invoice either way.

Why Lumina works

Not more work.
Higher expectations.

Work that matches your child, not their age

Children are placed at the level they are actually at — not where their school year puts them. A child in Year 5 reading at Year 3 level gets a Year 3 workbook. No embarrassment. No ceiling. Just the right challenge at the right moment.

Two skills that unlock everything else

One session builds knowledge through rich comprehension passages. The other turns that knowledge into structured, precise writing. Reading Lab + Writing Lab — twice a week, 45 minutes each. Two labs, two purposes, one complete education in English.

A workbook posted to your door

Every child receives a specialist workbook in the post — built by experienced teachers, designed for the level they're working at. Not a PDF. A real, physical book your child can hold, write in, and take pride in.

You'll know exactly where your child stands

At Week 6 and Week 12, you receive a written assessment report from your child's qualified teacher. Not a text at the door. A proper written report — posted to your house — telling you exactly where they are and what comes next.

A journey your child can see and hold

Every child receives a physical Lumina Passport — a permanent record of their journey through all five levels. It is stamped after every assessment, updated at every level. Something real that shows them they're progressing.

A qualified teacher, every session

Not a pre-recorded video. Not a university student. A qualified, experienced teacher leading every session — someone who knows how to stretch a child without breaking them, and when to push and when to pause.

The teacher behind Lumina

Built by a teacher
who refused to lower
the bar.

I'm Conor. I've spent over fifteen years in primary classrooms — fourteen of them as a computing and curriculum lead, working across every year group from Reception to Year 6. I've trialled every approach with real children in real schools.

I built Lumina because I kept meeting children who were capable of far more than anyone was asking of them. Not because they lacked talent — because the system wasn't built to stretch them. Small groups, high expectations, a teacher who believes they can do it. That's all it takes.

Every workbook, every session plan, every assessment — I wrote them. This isn't a franchise. It's my professional life's work, delivered directly to your child.

Investment

Try it first.
Then decide.

If you've read this far, you already believe your child has more to give. The taster session is how you find out whether Lumina is the right place for that belief to become something real.

Your child's first session is free — the real thing. The workbook in the post, both labs, the qualified teacher, the ten-child maximum. Exactly as every week would be.

After the session, you receive a personal report and a level recommendation. If Lumina is right, you enrol for September. If it isn't, you walk away. No invoice either way.

Taster session Free

You only pay once you've experienced Lumina and chosen to join.

Questions

What parents ask.

Will my 7-year-old actually focus in an online session?
Yes — because the group is tiny. Ten children maximum, with a qualified teacher who can see and respond to every child. It's not a passive video. It's a live, interactive session where your child is expected to contribute. Most parents are surprised by how engaged their child is — and that's exactly why the taster exists. You'll see for yourself.
What if my child doesn't enjoy the taster?
Then you walk away. No invoice, no follow-up pressure, no hard feelings. The taster exists precisely so you can find out before committing. We'd rather you know it's not right than enrol a child who won't benefit.
How is this different from a private tutor?
A private tutor typically works one-to-one, going over school material at the child's current level. Lumina is a structured programme that progresses through five levels — Reading Lab and Writing Lab, twice a week, with workbooks and assessments built specifically for this system. It's not extra help. It's a higher standard in a different environment.
Is online tuition as effective as face-to-face?
For small groups with a qualified teacher, yes. In some ways more so — your child is in a familiar environment, there's no travel time, and the small group size means the teacher can focus on every child. The taster session will show you exactly how it works in practice.
What level will my child be placed at?
That's what the taster session is for. After the session, you'll receive a short report telling you which of our five levels is the right starting point for your child. We place by ability, not age — so your child gets work that challenges them without overwhelming them.
When do the September cohorts start?
Cohorts begin in September 2026. Each cohort has a maximum of 10 children. Booking a taster session now secures your child's priority place — you'll choose your preferred cohort time after the taster.
What does my child need for the session?
Just a quiet space, a device with a camera and microphone, and the taster workbook we post to you. That's it. No special software — we'll send you a simple link.
