Lucy

I have a first class degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, and achieved three academic awards during my studies including the Shakespeare Scholarship for best overall performance in my subject. I am excited to share my skills and love of literature with my students.

Tutoring Experience

I am an experienced Scout Leader with five years of service, where I have developed excellent teaching techniques that are adaptable to the needs of each young person. I have previously tutored Maths in a group setting, as well as running creative writing lessons for university students. I am able to tutor English Literature, English Language, and Creative Writing, including reviewing portfolio submissions and personal statements for university courses.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach focuses on connecting the student with the texts they are studying, as well as teaching literature analysis techniques that will be applicable to both seen and unseen passages for I/GCSE and A Level. I will focus on the elements the student finds most difficult, whether that be essay structure, reading comprehension, understanding the text, or finding the right language for their ideas.
