As part of Grow Daily’s ongoing mission to help young people thrive we established the Grow Daily Academy.
At the Grow Daily Academy, we do more than just tutoring - we empower students to master their subjects and their mindset.
Our approach combines expert academic support with mentoring in confidence, motivation, and self-belief - so students don’t just gain knowledge, they build the skills to learn, grow, and thrive for life.

The Maths’ Guru
Ian Stevenson established the Grow Daily Academy (GDA) after recognising a fundamental gap in how students were being tutored.
Traditional approaches focused on content, not the mindset, motivation, and confidence needed for independent learning.
At GDA, mastery isn’t just about knowledge - it’s about self-belief, adaptability, and learning how to learn. That’s why coaching is integrated alongside expert tutoring, helping students build confidence and take ownership of their progress.
With over 35 years’ experience teaching Mathematics, Ian is known for making complex ideas accessible and creating a supportive learning environment. He builds strong connections with students and leads a team equally committed to developing confident, independent thinkers.
As a pastoral lead, Ian has supported students beyond academics - helping them navigate challenges with clarity and care. His training as a Mindvalley Coach brings valuable tools for motivation, wellbeing, and mindset development.
GDA reflects Ian’s belief that education should do more than prepare students for exams - it should empower them to grow with curiosity, courage, and the tools to thrive for life.
Expert Tutors
Our experienced tutors combine subject expertise with proven strategies to help students build confidence, master content and achieve meaningful academic progress.
Student-Centred Approach
We get to know each learner - how they think, what drives them, and where they need support. This tailored, high-trust approach builds confidence, motivation, and a mindset for lifelong learning.
What Students & Parents Want
More than just marks, parents want to see their child thrive. We combine academic growth with the mindset, motivation, and study skills that build lasting success - at school and beyond.
“Confidence, motivation, and mindset are just as important as knowledge. At Grow Daily Academy, we build all four.”
Whether you’re looking for tutoring, study skills support, or mindset coaching, we’re here to help your young person grow in confidence, motivation, and achievement. Use the form or reach out directly—we’d love to hear from you.
