Born...November 1972
Formative years spent...in London, collecting
stamps and playing with Lego.
Mind honed at...Rugby School (A levels in Maths,
French and Art) and Edinburgh University (MA Hons in Spanish).
First Student...April 1992, teaching maths,
English and French to a boy sitting his 13+ common entrance exams.
Since that has taught...over 70 students between
the ages of 5 and 18 in subjects ranging from maths and English, to French, geography
and science; for the past few years she has focused on teaching maths. Lucy has
worked with children educated at home and students needing support on a weekly basis
after school. She has also undertaken several residential positions in the UK and
abroad, including two months in France teaching a girl moving from the French system
to the English system and 10 months in Chile teaching three children. Many of the
students she has worked with have been dyslexic and dyspraxic, so although not being
specifically special needs qualified, she has a good understanding of teaching methods
and approaches that may help students with learning differences.
She's also...worked at an orphanage in Mexico
for six months, both teaching and looking after the kids; been an au pair in France;
taught English in Colombia with the British Council for a year; assisted in a special
needs school for a term and worked in the kindergarten at an American school on
summer camp.
What else...Lucy is a keen swimmer and London's
slowest cyclist; she is a hopeless cook but is particularly talented at cleaning.
Lucy lives with her Kiwi husband and baby boy submerged (happily) in rugby and pinot
noir.
