I have lived and worked in Plymouth since completing my degree in 2001.
On completing university, I went on to train in education through Applied Scholastics International after which I worked in the field of self-improvement through education.

Since 2009 however, I have worked as a private tutor as my main profession, teaching English, maths and specialising in the 11+ for which I run groups and 1to1 sessions.

I am passionate about education and the freedom, enjoyment, increased well-being, and opportunities education can bring.

My strengths are to tune in to the student in front of me to uncover how best to help, and to present the subject accordingly to bring about optimum understanding.

It is my firmly held belief that learning should take place in a fun and relaxed setting and that it is more successful and beneficial to the student when experienced in that manner. To that end, I aim to make lessons enjoyable to all students whilst concurrently being effective.

I am also an Applied Scholastics trained instructor and am qualified to train and establish new tutors.
I created and own Plymouth Private Tutors, and carefully select like-minded tutors to be part of this group whom I feel confident in referring students to.

What the students and parents say

Vivienne Lowe Testimonials

"Viv’s calm and supportive approach was ideal for our daughter. She judged the ability of the group well, and targeted the weaker areas of each student, giving tailored homework each week."

"Our daughter had always found maths difficult, and really benefited from Viv’s help on this and made great progress, so much that she achieved a really good score in the exam. This support also had a great knock-on effort on her maths work at school. Viv handled the impact of Covid quickly, sensitively and effectively. Without missing a beat, she shifted to Zoom lessons and arranged a good system for us to collect practice papers and homework weekly."

"It all worked really well and we were very happy with the arrangements. She also dealt calmly with the shifting exam plans (due to Lockdown) and ushered us through it all without any fuss." Lucy and Carl

"My family and I moved to Plymouth more than a year ago. When I started my new school, I was far behind in my maths. I began 11+ tutoring that same year and since then with the kind, helpful support of Vivienne, my maths has improved significantly. I highly recommend Vivienne and hope that you find her as kind and reassuring as I did." Connie "Working with Viv has been amazing. She is very kind. She tries really hard to help you to find ways of understanding any tricky questions." Fernley, year 5

“All three of my children have worked with Viv. We all really enjoyed the experience and as a parent I was very happy to see each of my children flourish and grow in confidence with their learning. Each of my children have very different characters and Viv was kind and supportive, taking the time to really get to know them well and helping them in any way they needed. I have and always will recommend Viv to any parent who is looking for a tutor.” Sasha, mum of 11+ and GCSE students

“We have a daughter of 7 who is a very shy sensitive girl. We had concerns she was falling behind in class due to her lack of confidence. Whilst discussing this with a friend she recommended Viv to us. We haven’t looked back. I can’t speak highly enough of Viv’s patience and understanding. How lovely it is to see our daughter’s confidence and self-belief grow. We know this will give her the best grounding for the rest of her education. Many thanks to Vivienne and the team.” C.C, mum of daughter in year 2

"My son has been tutored by Vivienne Lowe for a number of years with great success. He has often mentioned how helpful his lessons have been and how Vivienne takes a very different approach to teachers at school which makes subject matter more understandable. I think I have been very lucky to have found such a brilliant tutor for him who teaches with such enthusiasm and energy - 10/10!" Paul Jordan, dad of son in Yr8

Plymouth Private Tutor: Vivienne Lowe

“My purpose is not just to help my student get a higher grade or do well in an exam, but to allow my student to understand the world around them more, for them to realise that they can, and for their improved well-being that this increased understanding and confidence creates.”
