Confidence
Progress a child can feel. When work is pitched where they actually are, “I can't” becomes “I tried”, usually within the first couple of weeks.

Our story
Built around the child, not the year level.
For over thirty years, Lynn's Learning has helped children across Melbourne's south-east build confidence, concentration and ability by teaching each one exactly where they are, not where a textbook says they should be.
How it began
How a teacher became a tutor.
A note from Lynn's Learning founder, Lynn Tam.
“When my children first began school, I realised there was a huge gap in nurturing an overall learning environment. There was nothing in place for kids who were ahead, and my kids came home from school bored. I was concerned that they would begin to resent learning, so I started to develop my own worksheets and activities to extend them and keep it fun.
I needed to do more. I went back to study teaching, as a mature-aged student, to address the gap in schools. What I learnt was that there was an even bigger hole for children who were struggling at school.
I knew I needed to help kids at both ends of the spectrum. What I did was create an open-ended tutoring system for the core subjects, Maths and English. The system addresses students at their individual ability level, rather than their year level. For kids who are struggling in an area of Maths or English, my programmes support them in understanding the subject completely. For the children who are performing above average at school, my open-ended programmes do not limit their learning.
Over thirty years on, I have witnessed the success of my programme, having been able to help thousands of children. I think the best thing about what I do is being able to witness first-hand the incredible change in a child, and the impact that has on their family and their future. I love bringing a smile to my students' faces and knowing it's because I've made learning easy, fun and engaging.
To help more students, I have now franchised Lynn's Learning so there are more centres to teach our method. All tutors running Lynn's Learning centres have been trained in the Lynn's Learning method, to ensure that all children can gain confidence, stay engaged and have fun in all their Maths and English work.
If you feel the way I used to — if your child is not getting as much at school as they could — please speak to us directly about the Lynn's Learning programme and the complimentary assessment that you'll receive, which helps us learn more about your child and how we can help.”

What we believe
Three things every child deserves.
Concentration
Calm, focused sessions in person, with educators who know each child by name and notice when something isn't landing.
Ability
Real, lasting skills. Foundations rebuilt where there are gaps, genuine extension when a child is ready, all aligned to the Victorian and Australian curricula.
Where we are now
Thirty years on: same method, more families.
What began at one kitchen table now runs across six centres in Victoria, having helped thousands of children. Every educator is trained in the Lynn's Learning method, and the programme is updated every year so children work on today's curriculum, not yesterday's. We teach Maths and English from Foundation to Year 10. All in person, all personalised. Additional Selective Entry and Scholarship Preparation programmes can be selected as an optional programme enhancement.
