Qualified Secondary School English teacher (QTS and PGDE) - KS3 & KS4 English language and literature - AQA, Edexcel, and any other exam board - Online preferred - Trained with Teach First

Lucy, a dedicated and gifted teacher, completed the prestigious Teach First programme and successfully taught in a challenging secondary school for two years, winning the affection and respect of teachers and students alike. She has subsequently focused on children with complex needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Lucy.

Lucy is honestly just brilliant with students. She’s a qualified teacher and GCSE examiner who totally knows her stuff, but she’s also so kind and actually cares about how they're doing. She’s super creative and adapts everything she does so lessons are fun, engaging, and genuinely tailored to whatever makes each kid tick.

A lot of tutors know the exam criteria inside and out, but struggle to get through to teenagers who have switched off from English. Lucy is the exact opposite. As a qualified teacher and GCSE examiner, she brings total clarity on what top-grade answers look like, but she pairs it with a brilliant ability to know what makes each individual student tick. She shifts the dynamic from stressful cramming to genuine engagement, breaking down complex texts and writing skills so they actually make sense. If you want to trust a tutor to help you develop in English while making you progress quickly with fun methods, Lucy is perfect choice.

Lucy’s creativity truly comes from a genuine place. Having known her for 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of seeing the impact she has on others, and it has always been incredibly inspiring.
She really is a master of many crafts. Her ability to learn different languages is remarkable, and she has been musical from a very young age. Theatre has also been a huge part of her life, alongside her experience in full-time teaching and tutoring. Most recently, she performed her first monologue show at the Edinburgh Fringe, continuing to carve out her own path as a creative.
As a fellow creative who has collaborated with Lucy on artistic projects, I’ve always found her creativity and accomplishments inspiring. I also have personal experience of being creatively unblocked through the Creative Circle group she led. By encouraging me to delve into and excavate what was actually getting in the way, she helped me understand the barriers holding me back, and I know first-hand how powerful her approach can be.
With her personal experience of neurodiversity, Lucy understands that creativity doesn’t look the same for everyone. She is able to tailor her classes to your individual needs, helping you cut through the noise, get your work done, and ultimately turn your creative ideas and dreams into reality.

I worked with Lucy on SuperProf for study skills and body doubling support while I was finishing my project, and it made a tonne of difference. Having ADHD, I often struggle to find a study approach that actually works. Lucy took the time to understand me and adapted her coaching accordingly, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. The body doubling sessions gave me much needed accountability to sit down and actually make progress, and her approach to study was tailored rather than generic advice I'd tried in the past with no luck. I finished my project thanks to her support, and I'd recommend her to anyone, especially neurodivergent students, looking for tutoring and coaching that meets them where they are.
