About Lucy
I am an experienced tutor with a wide range of academic interests.. I'm particularly interested in the study of the Universe (cosmology). I gained a BSc in Physics at Edinburgh University and a Masters in Astrophysics (distinction) at UCL. I was later invited to return to UCL to learn to become an anthropologist in order to study a group in the Cosmology Department working on a high profile astronomy project called the Dark Energy Survey. In 2017/2018 I started a PGCE in Physics with Science at the University of the West of England, Bristol, but this came to an abrupt end after a cycling accident. After I recovered I decided to work solely as a private tutor.
From 2013 to 2020 I was involved in researching, writing and editing a book on the Dark Energy Survey. This was published in September 2020 by World Scientific.
I have been tutoring privately for fifteen years and have experience working as a science teacher in schools: Gordano School in Portishead (rated Ofsted outstanding) and John of Gaunt School in Trowbridge. I also worked for a year in a Somali (Muslim) after school learning centre.
I have a good track record in helping people to prepare for GCSEs and A-levels and am well acquainted with all of the information in the AQA, Edexcel and OCR curricula. I know what is most important for tutees to learn in order to do well in their exams.

I am constantly on the lookout for new and engaging ways to teach maths and science and I am up-to-date with current research in neuroscience on how the brain processes information. I teach my tutees the SIMPLEST, MOST EFFECTIVE and MOST EFFICIENT techniques for learning. They can then transfer these techniques to any area of study.
I tailor the lessons to the level of the individual and can recommend question papers and websites for them to work with individually and then discuss with me. My approach is to boost the confidence of my tutees by working through the material slowly and carefully with them in a relaxed and encouraging way.
I help students to understand their schoolwork, motivate personal study at all ages and guide preparation for exams. I also prepare the ground for A-levels for those wishing to continue with these subjects. Without preparation, many people find the transition to A-levels very challenging. I can then prepare those taking A-level physics to go on to physics or engineering at University.
I aim to inspire real interest in maths, physics and chemistry by providing a wider background to the knowledge than is taught at school and by helping people understand why science is amazing. I can help those who feel hopeless in a subject to shine.

I am a retired teacher and have witnessed Lucy's tutoring style with interest. She puts students at ease with her calm, friendly and extremely patient approach. She has excellent subject knowledge and has a knack of finding the learning style that best suits the individual. She has a wonderful way with people and, when appropriate, students have been grateful to her for being a "listening ear." This is in addition to them making dramatic academic progress. I have seen Lucy delivering top quality tutorials and I can thoroughly recommend Lucy as a tutor.
