Our Vision: The Learning Loft Market Rasen
Two years ago, a simple idea sparked between two teachers in a spare room above a local café.
Our Roots: Experience and Adaptability
Our founders, a pair of passionate educators, took different paths out of traditional full-time teaching—one into catering to meet family commitments, the other to establish a successful online tutoring company. What remained constant was their dedication to tutoring.
Collaboration and Growth
Fast forward to 2025: We are moving into a larger premises under the new collaborative banner of The Learning Loft Market Rasen. We are not just expanding our space; we are building a supportive collective of over 20 qualified, insured, and DBS-checked teachers who, like our founders, left traditional education for similar reasons or now work part-time.
The idea is simple. We work individually under our own headings, but collaborating under The Learning Loft Market Rasen
What We Offer
We provide a comprehensive and flexible range of services for students and families seeking an alternative to the traditional school setting:
Academic Qualifications
Functional Skills Centre:
We offer full-service teaching and examination for Functional Skills, providing students with essential GCSE-equivalent qualifications.
GCSEs & A-Levels:
We have established links with external exam centres, allowing our students to sit official GCSE and A-Level examinations with us.
Classes & Programmes
Home Education Groups:
Our established Monday home-ed group has grown so successfully we’ve had to launch a Friday group! We will now be able to offer a full calendar of in-person classes, including Music, Art, Drama, and Food Technology.
Group & 1:1 Tuition:
We provide both group and individual tutoring sessions, with six teachers available locally for face-to-face classes and the full team for online instruction.
Specialised Learning:
We are excited to launch new programmes focusing on foundational skills, including Phonics Classes, Early Literacy, Maths, and playgroups for younger pupils.
Family & Community
After-School Clubs & Half-Term Crash Courses:
A full calendar of activities and classes is available to sign up for, supporting local families during term time and school holidays.
”Make, Play & Stay” Room:
A dedicated, bookable space for Market Rasen families and children under 5 to engage in creative play and socialise.
This is more than a business; it’s a community.
It is a testament to how a small idea can grow into a significant resource—one that helps excellent teachers find a fulfilling new path and provides children and adults with a successful learning journey that the traditional route couldn’t offer.
