About the company

Teach My Child was founded in January 2019 by Sarah Lamerton, an online Maths tutor. Lamerton qualified as a teacher in 2003 and is a fully qualified, DBS checked teacher. She taught long term in two inner city schools and devoted almost two decades to teaching in inner city schools.

Lamerton trains teachers to teach Maths and mentors teachers across Plymouth. She was the instigator of 'Plymouth Rocks', an annual times tables competition involving dozens of Plymouth schools. Teach My Child offers online Maths tuition for ages 5-13 and face to face Maths tuition in Plymouth.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Sarah's maths sessions at Teach My Child, based in Plympton, run on weekday daytime hours with no weekend opening, and include summer camps alongside regular term-time tutoring. Reviewers describe children who had previously found maths upsetting or discouraging gradually becoming more confident, with several parents noting a shift from dreading the subject to naming it a favourite at school within a matter of months.

A common observation is Sarah's use of varied, hands-on methods and physical materials rather than relying purely on worksheets, which reviewers say makes lessons feel less like extra schoolwork. Parents mention detailed feedback after sessions, including notes on areas still needing attention, and several describe children who continued with Sarah for multiple years without losing enthusiasm. More than one review mentions a child receiving recognition at school for improved effort or attitude in maths shortly after starting lessons.

Reviewers also highlight a homely, comfortable setting that puts younger children at ease from the outset, alongside patience with pupils who need concepts explained more than once. Across the reviews, the consistent picture is of a maths tutor whose calm, creative approach is credited with turning round both attitude and attainment among primary and secondary-age pupils in the Plymouth area.

Maths tuition with Sarah has helped my daughters confidence grow, both academically and personally. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable, patient and understanding, using learning styles to suit every child's needs. Sarah has made maths fun for my daughter, she has made her fear of numbers and learning new things less scary for her. I would recommend Sarah at Teach my Child to anyone needing extra tuition 100%.

Sarah has been teaching my son maths for the last four years. He went from refusing to do maths and thinking he was "bad" at maths to it being his favourite subject. Sarah is kind and nurturing and very child centred. We can't thank her enough for all of the support she has given our son and family over the last four years.

Sarah is a diamond. I cannot recommend her enough! My daughter used to cry at the end of every school day because of maths. We found school teachers would teach her one method, and it would always be a method she didn’t understand. She started tutoring with Sarah and her confidence has come on leaps and bounds. Maths was her worst subject and last parents evening her teacher said maths is now her best subject! - this is all from one hour a week! My daughter loves her hour with Sarah and I can’t thank her Sarah enough for all she’s done! My daughter was awarded ‘Wonder of the week’ this week for fractions! She was the first to answer all the questions. She answered them so quickly she doubted she got them right but no, she got them all correct!
