About Me
Oxford graduate and fully qualified teacher with over 8 years experience of teaching and tutoring. Kind and caring, but equally adept at spurring my tutees on to achieve their personal bests in their own individual ways. Particularly interested in Classical literature, both Greek and Latin, and Classical Art and Architecture. I am also a practising artist and paint in oils. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, dancing, walking in nature and cooking.
Tutor Experience
I have taught in schools for over 8 years, and tutored for nearly the same. I have taught pupils from aged 10 to aged 55 in the following subjects: Latin, Classical Civilisation, Classics (degree), Oxbridge entrance and UCAS, EPQ, History of Art, Art, English and Learning Support. My approach is based on getting to know a student's strengths and weaknesses and striking a balance between enjoyment and stretch. Each student is different and I tailor my teaching to suit them. I am kind and supportive but equally not afraid to push a student to achieve their personal best, and indeed their dreams. I am comfortable teaching online and have experience of using a number of online tools, including document sharing, screen sharing and online whiteboards.

Client Reviews
5 stars from my daughter. Only had a few lessons and the impact of them is tangible in her understanding of the subject and work in school. Lucy is really calm and encouraging and obviously knows her stuff.
Corinne - Ancient History
I though that the organisation of the lesson was done well due to your resourcefulness.
I appreciated to a high extent the quality of the teaching provided to me with all humility and sincerity.
I thankyou for the lesson.
Sean - Ancient History
It was great to have the opportunity to have someone of Lucy's calibre to look over sections of my draft dissertation. She was extremely thorough, gave detailed comments and helpful guidance. Warm, professional and great communication. Highly recommended.

Testimonials
From Tara, parent of Tabby, past student, 21/01/2020: 'Lucy is an excellent tutor, she is professional, kind and patient. Very organised with lesson planning and reliable.'
From Linda, current student, 4/7/2020: 'I am very happy with Lucy. She has been teaching me Latin online since the start of lockdown and even through a screen was able to very quickly grasp my level of competence and adapt her teaching according to my individual needs. She strikes the right balance of rigour in order to stretch me but has a very calm, encouraging manner, even when I get it wrong. I would recommend Lucy to anyone who wants to learn Latin at any level'
