Vandhana Tamilvanan

Hello! I'm a postgraduate Psychology student with a strong passion for education, mental wellbeing, and helping young learners grow in confidence. My goal as a tutor is to create a safe, calm, and engaging space where students feel supported to ask questions, make mistakes, and truly enjoy the learning process.

I offer one-to-one lessons in all primary school subjects, with a particular focus on English and Science. Whether your child needs help understanding key concepts, preparing for exams, or simply building confidence, I adapt each lesson to suit their individual learning pace and style.

With experience volunteering through programmes like the Teddy Bear Hospital and Homeless Action, I’ve worked directly with children in educational and care settings—using play-based learning, creativity, and empathy to connect and communicate effectively. I’ve also worked in professional environments where clear communication, patience, and active listening were crucial, all of which I bring into my teaching approach.

My lessons can be delivered online or in person (in Exeter), and I use a mix of visuals, interactive tasks, storytelling, and discussion to make learning feel fun and meaningful. I strongly believe that every child learns best when they feel heard and respected, and I aim to empower each student not just to improve their academic performance but to enjoy the learning journey.

If you're looking for a friendly, reliable tutor who truly cares about your child’s progress and wellbeing, I’d love to work with you!
