Spear’s Review

Lumos Education is best described, according to director Johanna Mitchell, as family-focused. 

‘We support each child as an individual, nurturing their talents and potential,’ she explains. ‘We assist families at every stage, from choosing the best nursery schools at birth, to preparation for university entrance. Meticulous academic assessments help us to determine the right schools for your children, while inspiring private tuition will help them to grow in confidence and to achieve the best results.’ 

One of her career highlights was ‘helping a child who had failed her GCSEs grow in confidence and eventually gain a place at Cambridge University’.
