Hi, I'm Lucy, and teaching is my passion. You won't find anyone more enthusiastic than me and I believe that's the biggest reason why my students achieve such amazing results:

Tutoring Experience

Over the last 10 years I have been teaching Maths from within my own home. I have an Honours Degree in Business and Financial Services (Hons) with many of the modules including advanced mathematics and statistics.

Tutoring Approach

The goal of each and every lesson is to make the sessions as interactive as possible. By engaging pupils at every opportunity, the lessons become really enjoyable with the students learning an awful lot more than if they were simply to be handed workbooks. There are many tutors that will take this approach and just watch a student go at it, I prefer to be much more involved! I also make new learning games everyday and this is a big reason why my students have been so successful at all ages.
