Person-Centred Tuition, Mentoring and Counselling
About Me & My Mission
I’m Lorna — teacher, tutor, mentor, counsellor, and workshop facilitator. For over 20 years, I’ve worked in France, England, and Spain, helping children, parents, and educators build confidence, connection, and self-awareness. My mission is simple: to nurture understanding so that we can all truly thrive.
Through Nurture and Thrive, I offer bespoke tuition and mentoring for children, adolescents, and adults. My approach blends academic guidance with emotional support, helping learners grow in confidence, motivation, and wellbeing. Each session is designed to support the whole person — not just exam results, but mindset, balance, and belief in their own potential. You can read feedback from parents and students on my Testimonials page.
I also lead Time Out for Parents of Teens, a six-week course that gives parents a safe, supportive space to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Together, we explore practical ways to reduce conflict, strengthen relationships, and create calmer, more positive families and homes.
Empowering learning, communication, and connection is at the heart of everything I do.
Through Nurture and Thrive, my mission is to empower young people and the adults who care for them. When parents, carers, educators and students feel supported and understood, we gain the confidence to flourish — at home, at school and in life.
When we feel seen, heard, valued, and supported, our self-esteem grows. Self-doubt transforms into self-confidence, and our journey to fulfilling our true potential gains momentum. We start living more authentic, purposeful, happier lives.
💚 Nurture connection. Thrive together.
I had extra tuition with Lorna throughout my A Level Spanish course. I was struggling with everything and having attained quite a low mark in my mock at AS level, my confidence was extremely low. Lorna was truly amazing. The lessons were structured around my needs and were fun. She instilled confidence and belief in myself. I loved every single lesson and achieved an A grade in my A2. An amazing tutor.
