Small-group and 1:1 STEM tutoring for students from 6th Class through Junior Cycle to Leaving Cert. Diagnostic-led study plans, mastery-based progression, homework accountability, and honest parent reporting, all organised on Notion.
Topic mastered: differentiation. Moving on to integration by substitution next session.
Structured Learning. Measurable Progress. Lasting Results.
Most grinds put a student in a big room and read from a textbook. We do the opposite: a structured system built around the individual student, never one-size-fits-all.
Based in Dublin and serving students across Ireland, we run Maths now for 6th Class, Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert, with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Crash Courses launching soon. Every plan, resource and progress update lives in one organised Notion workspace.
A diagnostic-led, mastery-based pathway, so nothing is skipped and nothing is rushed.
Attendance, homework, mock scores and an Exam Readiness Score turn effort into proof.
Spacing, review and real rewards mean students remember what they learn, not relearn it.
A structured system built around the individual student, not a one-size-fits-all grind.
Every student begins with a full diagnostic that identifies their exact level, strengths, gaps and learning style. Nothing is guessed, the whole plan is built on real data about where the student actually stands.
We match each student to the right tutor and the right plan, so personalities, pace and goals line up from day one. If something is not working, we re-match. The fit matters as much as the content.
Based on the diagnostic, we build a custom roadmap of topics, timelines and targets, organised on Notion so students and parents can see exactly what is being covered and when.
Choose small-group classes capped at 5 students, or fully personalised 1:1 sessions. In group classes everyone contributes and stays on the same page. It is never just the tutor talking while students sit silent.
Weekly homework is set and due 24 hours before the next class, so it is never a last-minute scramble and the tutor can review it before the lesson begins. Homework is checked every week to keep progress visible.
Due 24 hours before classStudents do not move on from a topic until they show genuine improvement and skill mastery. Parents receive clear numbers, attendance, homework completion, mock scores and an Exam Readiness Score, so the picture is always honest.
Most grinds put you in a big room and read from a textbook. Here is what we do differently, and what you usually get elsewhere.
Each feature exists for a reason. Together they turn effort into measurable, lasting results.
Every student starts with a full diagnostic so teaching targets real gaps, not assumptions. Time is never wasted re-teaching what they already know.
Strictly capped class sizes mean every student gets attention, asks questions freely and actually participates. In a group of 30 most never speak. Here, everyone contributes.
Learning does not stop when class ends. Support credits let students get help between sessions, a quick question, a worked video or a full paper review, exactly when they are stuck.
Homework is set every week and due 24 hours before class, then checked so nothing slips. This keeps progress visible and stops small gaps from quietly turning into big ones.
We build in spacing and review so students remember what they learn instead of relearning the same topic again and again. Setbacks are worked through without letting a backlog pile up.
Students advance to the next topic only once they have shown real improvement and mastery in the current one. Progress is earned, so it is solid.
Parents receive clear numbers, attendance, homework completion, mock results and an Exam Readiness Score, so they always know how their child is genuinely doing without chasing updates.
Timed mocks under real exam conditions build confidence, surface weaknesses early and turn exam day into familiar territory rather than a shock.
Each student's plan, resources, homework and progress live in one organised Notion workspace, so nothing gets lost and the whole journey is in one place.
Gamified learning keeps students motivated. Earn XP for effort and improvement, redeem it for real rewards, and get recognised for great work every week.

For current students only. Your tutor applies credits to your classes whenever you are stuck.
Life happens. A missed class never means missed progress. Here is exactly what to do.
Let us know more than 12 hours before your class and we simply move it to another slot. No class lost, no credit used.
12+ hours noticeEvery class is recorded. If you cannot make it, catch up in your own time with the full video and lesson notes saved to your Notion workspace.
Always availableStill stuck after catching up? Spend support credits on a WhatsApp question, a step-by-step video or a 1:1 catch-up so nothing is left behind.
Personalised supportWhether you reschedule, catch up on the recording, or use a credit for extra help, the goal is the same: you stay on track and never fall behind.
Learning sticks when it is rewarding. Students earn XP and points for effort and improvement, then turn them into rewards that actually matter.
Every week, one student is featured. Recognition is a powerful motivator, and even quieter students start to care.
You are never left wondering how your child is doing. You receive clear, honest numbers without having to chase tutors. Because progression is mastery-based, when a topic is marked complete, it is because your child has genuinely mastered it.
"Integration now mastered, moving on to the next topic. Homework is consistently on time and effort in class is excellent. XP Level 7, Beacon, at 2,450 XP."
Illustrative example of a parent report
Knowing a subject and being able to teach it are two different things. We hire for both, and keep developing our tutors after they join.
Every Lumora tutor has at least 100 hours of real tutoring experience before they teach one of our students. This is mandatory. They have already learned how to explain hard ideas simply.
Tutors are selected through a rigorous multi-stage process that genuinely tests both their ability to teach a topic clearly and their communication with students, not just their own grades.
Our tutors work successfully with students from all backgrounds and abilities, including those with ADHD and other learning differences, and adapt their approach to each individual.
We match each student to a tutor whose style and pace suit them, check the fit is working, and keep tutors in continuous training after hiring so standards only rise.
Real tutoring happens when a student can ask the question they are actually afraid to ask. That only works when the group is small enough that no one can hide, and everyone gets heard.
Honest words from Maths families across Ireland.
Honestly didn't think Aoife would stick with the higher level paper, but the weekly structure kept her at it. The reports every Friday meant I always knew what she was working on without having to nag. Big difference in her confidence going into the mocks.
My tutor actually explains the why, not just the steps. I used to guess my way through algebra and now I genuinely get it. The homework is a bit much some weeks but it's the reason it stuck.
The support credits are class. If I'm stuck on a question at 9pm I can send it in and get a proper walkthrough back, not just an answer. Saved me more than once before a test.
We started early before secondary school and it was the right call. He's gone from dreading maths homework to racing to hit his XP streak. Whatever they're doing with the points system, it works on a 12 year old.
I was nearly failing ordinary level and now I'm comfortably passing and aiming higher. The tutor never made me feel stupid for asking the same thing twice, which is more than I can say for school.
Trig finally makes sense. We did it slowly until I actually got it instead of just moving on to keep up with a class. The video walkthroughs you can rewatch are a lifesaver before a test.
What stood out for us was the honesty. The tutor told us plainly where my daughter stood and didn't oversell. The progress has been steady and real, and the readiness score gives us a clear sense of where she's at.
My son has dyslexia and I was nervous about online tutoring. They matched him with a tutor who clearly understood how to work with him and adjusted the pace. He looks forward to it now, which I genuinely didn't expect.
