About Me
I’m a Drama specialist, with a degree from Rose Bruford, and extensive professional theatrical experience. I also have a PGCE in Secondary English, and a M-ed in Visual Impairment where I studied the impact of teaching social skills to students with visual impairment and autism.
I’m a theatre and dance lover, and I write for Drama and Theatre Magazine (Mark Allen Group)
I’ve recently learned to swim - I think we should always continue to learn!
I am a specialist academic mentor for university students with disabilities.
Tutor Experience
Experienced in teaching the following:
GCSE and IGCSE English Language and Literature - all boards
IGCSE World Literature
A Level English literature - all boards
GCSE, IGCSE and BTEC Drama
A Level Drama - I have contributed to text books for the Pearson course.
I have been an English and Drama teacher since 2003, and have taught in a wide range of settings including state schools, independent and specialist schools. I also have a lot of online teaching experience and this is an area that I particularly enjoy.
I encourage tutoring sessions which are a conversation rather than a lecture. I believe that a successful class is one where the student feels confident enough to make mistakes and to ask questions.
I am calm and patient, and love to have laughter in my sessions. We all learn better when we’re happy and relaxed!
I am particularly good at helping students to raise their grades if they are stuck between two grade boundaries. I can help with confidence building and enjoy tailoring sessions to specific topics that students are struggling with to get the best results.
Topic Expertise
GCSE/IGCSE English and A Level English: All exam boards

GCSE/IGCSE and A Level Drama: I have taught all exam boards and have contributed to text books for Edexcel. As an ex Stage Manager I have an excellent knowledge of the technical theatre options.

Lucy is a brilliantly creative teacher who fosters great relationships with her students. I can recommend her wholeheartedly.
Hi Lucy, just wanted to say a huge thank you for your support. I came to you scraping Cs and Ds and we managed to get an A*! So thank you for always working with me and always pushing me up the grade boundaries. Couldn’t have done it without you. (A Level English Literature AQA 2022)
Lucy really made my daughter enjoy English Literature. She made the lessons fun whilst imparting all the relevant information for A-level. (OCR English Literature 2022)
We truly believe you had a positive impact on our daughter's learning and her being able to achieve an 8. We will always be incredibly grateful to you, your kind patience and ability to understand her and give her the encouragement she needed to believe in herself. (OCR GCSE English Literature 2023)
I can't believe that I scored so high, but I couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you for being such an excellent tutor this past year to me! It's made all the difference.
