I’m Mac Proffit, a private tutor based in King’s Lynn with nearly a decade of experience working across local schools. I’ve taught a wide range of subjects and year groups, and I specialise in one-to-one support that is calm, personalised and genuinely learner-centred.

My background in education includes English, Maths and Science, alongside experience teaching Functional Skills, ICT, PSHE and Citizenship. Working in diverse classroom settings has given me a strong understanding of how differently learners engage with education and how bright, capable students can struggle simply because the environment or approach doesn’t work for them.

I’m particularly experienced in supporting anxious, neurodivergent and disengaged learners, and my tutoring style reflects this. I focus on building trust first, reducing pressure and adapting lessons to the individual rather than forcing students into a rigid structure. Progress comes from confidence, not fear.

Alongside my teaching work, I’m currently studying Child Psychology and counselling, which informs a trauma-aware, emotionally intelligent approach to education. This allows me to support not just academic development, but also motivation, self-belief and emotional regulation around learning.

I work with children, young people and adults, offering both online and in-person sessions. Whether the goal is exam preparation, Functional Skills, confidence-building or re-engaging with learning after a difficult experience, my aim is always the same: to make learning feel safe, manageable, and achievable.
