Meet The Team

Founder & Director
KS3 Maths and KS4 & KS5 Computer Science Tutor
Lucy Stephenson
I founded Aspiring Minds Tuition to provide personalised, inclusive education that supports learners of all ages and abilities to achieve their full potential. I specialise in working with children and young people with SEND, including those who are neurodiverse, as well as learners in alternative provision, home education, or those unable to access mainstream education. I believe learning should be flexible, engaging and tailored to the individual, offering tuition both online and in person, alongside accredited qualifications and wellbeing-focused support. My aim is to build confidence, develop skills and create positive learning experiences that enable every learner to succeed.

Primary BCS Invigilator
Rosemary Jackson
As an accredited ICDL invigilator, I am committed to creating a calm, supportive and professional assessment environment. To help reduce anxiety and build familiarity, I can meet learners online or in person before their assessment, giving them the opportunity to ask questions and become comfortable with the examination process. Working closely with our tutors, I ensure assessments are delivered securely and fairly while maintaining a welcoming and reassuring atmosphere. I am particularly mindful of the needs of learners with SEND and believe that positive relationships and a supportive environment play an important role in helping learners achieve their educational and personal goals.
