Information about Lucy

I am currently working on my Ph.D in Literature at Queen Mary, University of London. My earlier studies include an MA. from the University of Amsterdam, and BA. from the University of Sussex, where I graduated with 1st Class Honours. On top of my academic career, I have a background in teaching. I have been tutoring for almost ten years, and have worked in a number of educational institutions.

Engaging with literature has had an immensely positive impact on me, and my relationship with the world around me. As well as reading and studying literature, I also write short stories and poetry. This enables an holistic approach to the subject, and an eye to detail regarding grammar and writing style.

Aside from Literature my interests are travel, music, theatre and social and community projects, in particular working with asylum seekers.

I am patient, approachable, dedicated and full of energy and enthusiasm for the subject.

A large amount of my teaching experience comes from working with people with learning disabilities, and with children with complex emotional and behavioural needs. I am therefore extremely patient, and have learnt that each pupil has extremely different needs, ways of learning and ways of engaging with what they have learnt. My approach to tutoring is innovative often using creative exercises and other techniques alongside conventional teaching approaches.

I believe that English is a subject which is fun, creative and fulfilling and I work hard to enthuse my pupils with the same passion that I hold.

Availability: Weekday evenings and some weekday mornings.

I charge between £5 per half hour of travel to sessions, with no travel fee for local students.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have nearly ten years of experience tutoring English Literature, Language and Philosophy at primary, secondary and degree level. I also have experience teaching English as an additional language.

Aside from private tutoring experience, I spent two years teaching English and Drama in a Pupil Referral Unit, and three years as a classroom assistant and one-to-one tutor in Secondary School English classes. Aside from this, I have lots of experience working with children and young people with learning disabilities. This work has often included reading, writing, help with homework and engaging with literature.

I am also an experienced proof reader and copy editor, and have worked editing both academic papers and corporate documents.
