Information about Lucy

I turned to teaching after a substantial business career in PR, running my own company for ten years, after holding both executive and non-executive directorships in other organisations. Working as a consultant gave me an inside view of companies of all sizes, from the smallest start up to industry giants like Hitachi and IBM.

Most of my PR work was in business to business communications for hi-tech companies, with a slice of consumer and not-for-profit work on the side. I have worked with over 100 organisations, giving my business studies teaching a real world emphasis that brings the subject alive. I have also set up a social enterprise in the fine arts and, after disability took me out of the classroom, I did the PR for The 401 Challenge, a UK wide charity fund raising challenge that successfully raised over £300,000 for anti-bullying work in schools.

My first degree is English Literature, studied at Cambridge University. In 2014 - 2015, I did a PGCE Business Studies at the renown Institute for Education, now part of UCL. Disability struck, I now get around on crutches, making classroom teaching difficult. I bring years of helping young people learn how to work, how to get the results they need, in their first job and in education. I am pragmatic in my approach, ambitious for my students and convinced that there is always a way forward. I have a special affinity for working with students managing chronic conditions.

Availability: I am available during the day most days as well as evenings and weekends.

All students (or their guardians, as appropriate) will be asked to fill in a briefing outline before the first session. I am very happy to talk to a student and their guardian on the phone before an engagement is agreed.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: During my PGCE Business Studies, I worked in 3 inner London schools and followed that with a brief period working in a Surrey sixth form college. I have tutored English A and AS level students as well as preparing students for English entrance for Cambridge. I am very happy to work with adults as well, whether they are looking to add to their education or want help with business issues, such as writing for different formats in business or interview practice, particularly media interview training.

Lucy is amazing. Really good teacher and bonds very well with students. My son really understands where he has to get better. I can see results on his studies.

Lucy is very committed to her students and is passionate about her subject, which she passes on in her lessons. She very friendly, easy to get on with and to communicate with. She has a vast array of resources which she makes available to her students, and an excellent knowledge of the texts on the syllabus that my daughter was studying. She made the sessions interesting and created a good working relationship with my daughter. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a tutor.

We simply love Lucy. After two sessions my daughter feels already more confident about her English. She is kind, professional and very experienced. We are so happy we have found her,

Tutors Response :

thank you so much for that lovely endorsement, much appreciated.

I note it is 4 stars rather than 5 - I`d love it if you felt you could let me know why its 4 stars. I will entirely understand if you feel uncomfortable about saying this, bear in mind I`m an old war horse and feedback will help me improve rather than upset me.

thank you so much for doing this, it makes a big difference.

cheers

Lucy

Lucy is a well organised, very proficient and professional tutor. Each session is well thought out and planned and I as the parent receive a copy of the homework set plus feedback from the current lesson. I only wish I had found Lucy sooner.
