About Me
I have a PGCE in Secondary English, and a M-ed in Visual Impairment where I studied the impact of teaching social skills to students with visual impairment and autism.
I’m a theatre and dance lover, and I write for Drama and Theatre Magazine (Mark Allen Group)
I’ve recently learned to swim - I think we should always continue to learn!
I am a specialist academic mentor for university students with disabilities.
Tutor Experience
Experienced in teaching the following:
GCSE and IGCSE English Language and Literature - all boards
IGCSE World Literature
A Level English literature - all boards
GCSE, IGCSE and BTEC Drama
A Level Drama & Theatre
A Level Classical Civilisation
GCSE Classical Civilisation.
I have been an English and Drama teacher since 2003, and have taught in a wide range of settings including state schools, independent and specialist schools. I also have a lot of online teaching experience and this is an area that I particularly enjoy.
I encourage tutoring sessions which are a conversation rather than a lecture. I believe that a successful class is one where the student feels confident enough to make mistakes and to ask questions.
I am calm and patient, and love to have laughter in my sessions. We all learn better when we’re happy and relaxed!
I am particularly good at helping students to raise their grades if they are stuck between two grade boundaries. I can help with confidence building and enjoy tailoring sessions to specific topics that students are struggling with to get the best results.
Topic Expertise
GCSE/IGCSE English and A Level English: All exam boards
Functional English: Pearson
GCSE/IGCSE and A Level Drama: I have taught all exam boards and have contributed to text books for Edexcel. As an ex Stage Manager I have an excellent knowledge of the technical theatre options.

My daughter has been working with Lucy for a couple of months now. Her grades have shot up, her knowledge of the material and understanding of the marking criteria has improved, but most of all, she loves the sessions they have together. Lucy is patient, understanding of neurodiverse issues, and all round an excellent teacher.
