About Lucy
My main role is as a primary school teacher, and I have a Primary PGCE specialising in Maths from UCL (as well as an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Oxford). I love teaching Maths and developing students' conceptual understanding of number. I have tutored on and off since I was at university and have been a full time teacher for just over 3 years.

I like to use a range of visual representations and discussion of mathematical problems, to support students to build a comprehensive understanding of concepts. I value an understanding of why and how maths works, not just following and memorising procedures.
As a tutor I aim to provide lessons that are as pupil-centred as possible. This means meeting the tutee where they are at, building on their existing knowledge and guiding them to work through tasks themselves. I want my students to develop the ability to think for themselves rather than just accept an enforced way of thinking.
I also believe that it is very important for the tutor-tutee relationship to be friendly and open. In order for tutoring sessions to be effective, the tutee should always feel able to be honest about what they do and don't understand. I aim to encourage this by creating a friendly, comfortable environment in which questions are encouraged, and the tutee is very welcome to contest anything they don't agree with!

Lucy is great at connecting with children of all ages. She is calm, patient and engaging, and adapts her approach to the age and level of each child. Lucy is intelligent, professional and very reliable.
I would strongly recommend Lucy Payne as an appointment based on the below information. She has been a dedicated practitioner throughout her teaching career by demonstrating that she is hardworking , resourceful and has a deep insight into teaching and learning .
She is certainly a strong mathematician and undertook her PGCE at IOE UCL . Her interest led her to complete some Masters level research into the use of the number-line and how it can support mathematical understanding. Lucy has used this insight into the pedagogy of mathematics to develop herself and serve the children well . Then she completed her NQT year in Year 5. After that , she started teaching at Dartford Bridge Community Primary School September 2017 until July 2020. During this time, she taught a full curriculum to year 1 children and was an excellent music coordinator to the school. I had the opportunity to observe Lucy teaching on several occasions across a variety of subjects and she was able to use the Teachers Standards effectively to generate a high level of progress for all learners. She was very reflective and had excellent behaviour management skills which were the basis to children feeling comfortable to work in the Zone of Proximal Development while having a judicious level of support and challenge to propel their learning forward. Lucy’s deep affinity for mathematics has often allowed her to reflect on her use of resources in lessons to develop knowledge skills and understanding in the children and address misconceptions such as near misses in times tables .
I am extremely pleased that this opportunity awaits her . If you need any further details do not hesitate to contact me .

**Please note that the price advertised is a general guide. I am prepared to lower my price per hour if, for example, I do not need to prepare my own teaching resources in advance (for example, if you would mostly like me to help with homework or go through practice papers) as this requires less of a time commitment on my part.**
