I'm Lalain. I teach teenagers live on Zoom, in small groups and one-to-one, and I've been at it since 2021. Six students at most, so everyone talks, and I know every name by the second week. I also run sessions for any group, from classrooms to company teams, and train homeschool parents and teachers.

What I offer
Four ways to work with me
Tutoring for teens, sessions for any group, and training for the parents and teachers behind them.
keep scrolling, they stack up
For teens aged 13 to 18
01Tutoring, live and personal
Two ways to learn with me. A small live group where your teen learns alongside a few others, or one-to-one sessions built entirely around them.

02Sessions on the big topics
Interactive sessions on the topics young people (and their teachers) actually want to talk about. Everyone participates, nobody reads slides aloud, and there's always something to take away.

- Making online learning work
- Planning the year
- One-to-one family call

What my lessons feel like
The class they don't want to skip
Three things a parent notices in the first fortnight.
- 01
Live, every time
No pre-recorded videos. A person who notices when you're lost, and says so kindly.
- 02
Small enough to be seen
Groups of six or fewer. Nobody disappears into the back row, because there isn't one.
- 03
Kind, with high expectations
A friendly room that still expects your best work. Those two things get along fine.
Sessions for any group
Topics I love running a room on
Interactive, online or in person, as a single session or a series.
- 01Talking about AIHow AI works, where it goes wrong, and the questions it raises about jobs, truth and honesty.
- 02EntrepreneurshipParticipants spot a problem, shape an idea and pitch it, all in one session.
- 03Climate changeWhat's actually happening to the climate, why it matters locally, and what young people can do about it.
- 04Dialogue across differencesHow to listen, disagree well and talk about hard topics without it becoming a fight.
Let them work it out first
A youth workshop
A note to parents
Hi,
Most evenings I'm on Zoom with teenagers on the other side of the world. I've taught them everything from homework they were dreading to how to pitch a business idea to a room of fifteen-year-olds who'd rather be anywhere else. For about ten minutes. Then something clicks.
The click I love most is when a teen stops asking “is this on the test?” and starts asking “wait, can I try that?” That's the moment I teach for.
My groups are small on purpose. By the second week I know your teen's name, how they like to learn, and exactly what they're stuck on.
If you'd like to see me teach first, tell me you're interested in a free trial class. No card details, no pushy follow-up. Just a lesson.

Questions
Before you get in touch
Is it actually live?
Every session. Me, on Zoom, with your teen or your group. Nothing pre-recorded.
What times do you teach?
My time zone lets me teach North America, the UK and the Gulf at sensible hours. We'll find a time that works for you.
How does the free trial class work?
It's 30 minutes, free, and they run every week. Tell me you're interested and I'll email you the next options for your time zone.
Do you only teach teenagers?
Tutoring is for teens aged 13 to 18. Sessions work for students and adults, and I also train homeschool parents and teachers.
