About Lucy

Over the past 5 years I have helped previous students earn As and A*s at both GCSE and A-Level, as well as developing their confidence and interest in the subject.

I am a Modern Languages graduate form the University of Cambridge (BA, MA) and have recently graduated from the Courtauld Institute of Art with a MA in the History of Art (French Decorative Arts). I have been tutoring French, English, History of Art, Spanish and Science (Chemistry, Biology and Physics) at GCSE and A-Level for more than 5 years and now specialise in English Literature, French and History of Art. I have also completed residential home stays where I tailor intense courses to the student's needs ahead of the exam season.

I am an extremely patient and understanding teacher which gives my students the confidence to raise and discuss their problems and difficulties. However, learning is not just about understanding, but enjoying the subject as well! I therefore try to adapt my teaching method to the individual student, playing to their strengths and interests, ensuring that they engage with the subject matter at hand.

I find teaching extremely rewarding, as the growth in a student's confidence often brings about success both in and outside of the classroom. While academics are important, I believe sport and musical/dramatic interests are equally important to develop the student's curiosity and overall well being. I have therefore also coached students in hockey and ballet which are extra curricular passions of mine.

Outside the classroom, I am interested in the arts, especially ballet, theatre and eighteenth and nineteenth-century French Art.

Other Qualifications :
Aside from private tuition in England, I tutored a French boy (7 years old) in English during my year abroad in Paris (2013). He was already an almost fluent speaker, so we followed the English curriculum, completing spelling tests, reading books for 9-11 year olds and grammar etc.

I have also completed a number of home stays with children to help prepare them for their GCSE exams. These sessions are normally a couple of days in length (6 hours a day) and worked around the student's schedule, to be as flexible and accommodating as possible. These home stays are extremely successful as I work around the student's needs and weaknesses in the periods before the examinations.
