About Lucy
I am an experienced History and English tutor, currently based in Oxford. I have six years of experience, ranging from KS2 to A-Level and IB, during which I have established my teaching style.
I aim to build a student's confidence and interest in a subject as part of improving their grades. I make my lessons interactive, with plenty of space for independent thought and activities that spark students' imaginations, such as videos and creative writing. With both History and English, I work to improve a student's subject knowledge and analytical skills, before working up to writing essays. I teach my students how best to plan their essays, as I find structure is one of the hardest things for teens to grasp. We then work on paragraph shaping, topic sentences, and arguments, in order for students to communicate their ideas to best possible effect.
I set homework that addresses the issues a student is currently facing, in order to practice their new skills and get used to working on their own. I give detailed feedback on homework, especially essays, and go through it in class so students understand exactly what is required of them.
I am experienced with the new 9-1 GCSE, and multiple exam boards. I aim to tailor my tuition exactly to the specifications and learning objectives set out by each board, aiming to cover at least one major LO per lesson. use a lot of past papers in testing students' ability to reproduce what they have learned, as well as ensuring they meet the standards set by the board.
I can also help students with university and schools admissions, particularly Oxbridge. I have carried out mock interviews for students applying to Oxford and Cambridge with the charity Oxfizz, in order to help them prepare for the gruelling admissions process.
I recently completed my PhD in History at Jesus College Oxford, where I wrote my thesis on representations of the state in Early Modern English drama.

I hired Lucy to help me with essay writing skills at degree level, to prepare me for my masters in Law. She was highly professional and very encouraging, and tailored her lessons exactly to my needs - she asked what i felt my problems were, and then looked at a sample of my writing in order to see how to focus her lessons.
Lucy immediately began helping me with extremely detailed feedback on my work, and then working on individual problems with exercises on things like structure, signposting and argument, as well as showing me how to plan my essays better. She was very motivational while also pushing me to do my best.I would recommend Lucy as a tutor. My daughter found Lucy to be patient and knowledgeable. She was easy to talk to and put my daughter at ease.
Super Tutor! Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
