The Love of Learning

Providing Innovative Tutoring Services on the Isle of Man

Hi, I’m Larissa Lyons, principal at Top Class After School Tuition in Douglas, Isle of Man. Through my after-school tuition services, I make learning English, Maths and Science fun for students from reception to year 11. I am here to guide children so they can not only excel in academics but also appreciate and develop a love of learning.


Continue browsing my website or get in touch with me for more information about how I can help your child. If you need further assistance, feel free to call or email me. 

My Background

In 2004, I became qualified as a Montessori teacher. Since then, I have been teaching children using the Montessori Method. This has helped me formulate a unique way of breaking down education barriers. 


I have more than 19 years of experience in the industry, and have been teaching on the Isle of Man for 17 of those years.


I am certified in supporting children with Dyslexia, ADHD and Autism.


You can trust me to help your child in the best way possible.

A Short History of Top Class After School Tuition 

Top Class After School Tuition was opened in 2015 on the Isle of Man with the goal of helping children in their studies. I use an innovative method that is a combination of Montessori techniques, my knowledge of the National Curriculum, a no fear ‘back to basics’ philosophy, and the ability to engage, motivate, and foster a love of learning.


I believe that every child is an individual. Furthermore, I believe that given the proper tools, they have the ability to reach their true potential.

Mission Statement

My goal is to help children build their confidence, increase their concentration, and maximise their understanding while enjoying what they are learning and having fun.

What My Clients Say

" Larissa is nothing short of a genius. As I dropped my son off to her class, there were at least 4 new other boys around aged 10 there looking equally as fed up being sent there by their parents.

When I collected my son I actually couldn't believe how they all looked completely engaged, happy, wanting to do the work & really looked happy. All the children were so happy!

My son went for handwriting - and the difference in 1 lesson was nothing short of INCREDIBLE.

I highly recommend Larissa to anyone looking to give their child more confidence & whatever skills you are looking to develop. The environment & kindness she provides is the biggest factor in her teaching."

"I felt my child needed some extra maths tuition due to missing lots of days off school because of Covid I looked around and top-class was recommended to me.

I’m very pleased that I chose top-class, Larissa the teacher is very good with the children my daughter took to her straightaway and made my daughter feel at ease, her maths has come on leaps and bounds. Larissa’s way of teaching during lockdown with virtual classes worked so well, even helping my daughters confidence being on camera in virtual classes in front of other children.

My daughters progression with her maths was reflected in her school reports which I was very pleased with and now she enjoys her school maths lessons and going to her after school lessons.

I would Definitely recommend top class, Larissa is a great tutor has a Great manor with the children and the her extra maths tuition aren’t extortionate prices, see you next term Kate.”
