Yes, I offer privately funded 1:1 classes for £50 p/h and £60 p/h for LA funded classes. The LA rate is a little higher because it covers termly reports, an annual review, and up to 3 hours of meetings each term with other professionals. The waiting list for regular 1:1 classes is pretty long at the moment unfortunately, I’d be happy to add you to it though if you like! 

In the meantime, to help introduce children to the Maths Anxiety and Roblox Let’s Play classes, I’ve started offering temporary 1:1 introductory Classes on a Friday morning – they’re perfect if your child feels nervous or just needs a bit of time to settle into the BrainySpinach Maths Class experience. You can book up to 3 classes per child. If that’s something you’d be interested in, I can send you the link.

Online tutoring with me is like having your child’s favourite family-friendly YouTuber turn into their personal Math teacher, right in your living room! The classes are typically lively and engaging, designed to make learning feel like a fun interactive show.

After years of teaching both in-person and online, I’ve seen firsthand that online tutoring often proves more effective for many students. They get to learn and play in the cosy comfort of their own home and find classes highly interactive & fun without being overwhelmed by the usual classroom distractions. Kids also get to make new friends they wouldn’t have met at school from all over the country, broadening their horizons. This blend of comfort, excitement, and social expansion is a game-changer in a child’s learning journey.

Each class kicks off with a friendly hello before diving straight into the game. In the Maths Anxiety Classes, we mix things up every 4–6 weeks, with games ranging from tower defense tycoons to survival strategy adventures and business simulators – all with plenty of fun and Maths woven into the gameplay. For Let’s Play Classes, we stick to the game we’re focusing on for that session. We wrap up with feedback and a summary of any Robux earned.

The heart of our classes is to make learning through Roblox a fun, engaging experience! Our goal is simple: if your child enjoys the class and it’s content, then we’ve succeeded! Drawing on my background in special education and the home education philosophy, I use playful learning methods and self-directed projects, allowing children to explore their own interests and learn at their own pace.

Our fun Roblox classes are designed to focus primarily on the passive learning of essential skills through play and active enjoyment!

Our classes vary in length between 25 and 60 minutes, depending on whether or not written feedback is being created at the end of the Class. For full details on the length of each class, please check out the dedicated Roblox Classes page!

The aim of my classes is to help students feel confident and excited about Maths time 😊. We don’t tackle Maths in the usual way—there’s no direct teaching of equations or reasoning tasks, as that can be overwhelming. Instead, Maths is gently woven into the games we play, helping students build skills without realising they’re doing it. 

My Maths Anxiety Classes focus directly on helping students feel more confident with Maths, using fun games like business simulators. A great game example is Busy Business, a fun simulation game where students run and grow their own company. They serve customers, upgrade machines, and make smart money decisions as their business expands. Along the way, they naturally use place value, addition, subtraction, rounding and estimation.

They also explore practical money skills like budgeting, working with decimals and percentages, and interpreting leaderboards. As they move through the game, the Maths challenges become more complex—encouraging deeper thinking, strategy, and real-world problem-solving, all in a fun and supportive environment.

My Let’s Play Classes on the other hand, are all about fun and social gameplay, without any direct Maths teaching from me. But Maths still shows up naturally as part of the game – like figuring out the best rod to use to catch a fish when comparing their statistics in Fisch, or working out how many crewmates you have left before the imposters outnumber you in Among Us.

Together, both class types help children build a positive relationship with Maths at their own pace, while having a great time!

All of my classes are built so that children can join in no matter their current level of Maths. This helps take the pressure off and makes the experience feel safe, relaxed, and fun. Everyone plays the same game together, but each child engages with different parts depending on what they’re ready for—some stick to the simpler challenges, while others naturally take on the more complex ones.

A perfect example of this is when we’ve played the game Zach’s Service Station—a tycoon-style game where students run a busy petrol station. They take on jobs like fuelling cars, managing the car wash, checking stock levels, and making sure the business stays profitable. To help things run smoothly and reduce stress, I’ve added three ‘bot’ helpers that students can direct and manage, so they’re never overwhelmed during rush hour.

For children still building their confidence, the game gently introduces Maths through activities like counting, adding and subtracting small numbers, comparing prices, reading numbers on tills and menus, and understanding time in hours and minutes. It gives them a chance to practise the basics without even realising it.

At the same time, students who are feeling more confident explore the deeper side of the game. They’ll be calculating profit and loss using decimals, managing larger budgets, working with three-digit numbers, applying multiplication and division when scaling up their business, and interpreting reports to make smarter decisions. The game naturally scales with their ability, and I support them in whichever part they feel ready to engage with.

For those who are ready for more structured Maths, I’m also developing Maths Missions—a new class where children can practise core Maths skills from Early Years up to Key Stage 2, all through custom-designed Roblox games. These Classes will offer more direct Maths tasks, still delivered in a fun, hands-on way, and will be the first of their kind on the platform. My existing games already include more Maths than any other educational Roblox experience—but I’m only just getting started!

I used to run some Roblox Maths Classes for up to 90 minutes. Unfortunately, I found it was hard to keep up the exciting gameplay consistently for that long, which then would often lead to my students disengaging towards the end of the class. The most learning was always done in the first 20-30 minutes, so I figured that would be the best class length going forward!

Additionally, shorter lessons are highly beneficial for younger students and those with difficulties concentrating for longer periods. They are also much easier to squeeze into a busy homeschooling and home education timetable!

If the booked class hasn’t begun, then I’m more than happy to switch your child to another class if the time, day, or content doesn’t quite suit your child! Just let me know, and I’ll see what I can do for you. However, I won’t be able to refund the Class if it’s already taken place, as that place could have been given to another child.

If the class is more than 24 hours away, I’m happy to help you reschedule to another available time that works better! If it’s less than 24 hours, I can still reschedule, but I might not be able to do it until after the class has ended. Just let me know when you’re free, and I’ll make it happen as soon as I can.

Once the class has started, I can only reschedule if there are technical issues preventing access, or if there’s a behaviour-related challenge that makes it hard for your child to participate. I’m always here to support and ensure the class experience is positive and enjoyable!

If the class has already taken place and none of the above applies, unfortunately, I won’t be able to reschedule it. But don’t worry—if you need help finding a time for future classes, just let me know, and I’ll be happy to assist!

If you cancel a booked Class or Session any time up to the scheduled start-time, we will automatically apply Credit equal to 100 % of the Class or Session fee to your account by issuing a one-use voucher code for the same value. This keeps the slot income-neutral for us while giving you the full amount to re-book another lesson.

Alternatively, if at the time of cancellation you provide us with the date and time you would like to re‑book, we can reschedule the Class or Session for you manually without issuing a voucher or providing Credit.

If you wish to receive a cash refund instead of Credit, you must notify us within 14 days of the Credit being issued; we will refund the unused balance by the same payment method, less the non-refundable card processing charge. These deductions equal our direct costs of handling the refund.

If you do not attend a Class Or Session and have not cancelled or contacted us in advance, you will not be entitled to any Credit or re-booking for that Class or Session.
