Lucy - Hertford tutor






Information About Lucy:


Personal Description:

I am a passionate and dedicated educator with a background in psychology and physical education. I have extensive experience working with learners of all ages, from GCSE students to university-level and adult learners. My aim is to foster both academic success and personal growth, helping students build confidence in their abilities while developing a deep understanding of the subject matter. I believe that learning should be engaging, interactive, and tailored to each individual's strengths and interests.



Teaching Experience:

I have experience tutoring and mentoring students across a wide range of levels:

GCSE & A-Level Psychology and PE: Providing structured lessons, exam preparation, and support for coursework, ensuring students develop both conceptual understanding and practical application skills.

University Students: Supporting psychology undergraduates with research methods, essay writing, and exam preparation, helping them navigate complex topics with clarity and confidence.

Adult Learners: Guiding mature students in revising and consolidating knowledge, tailoring sessions to their specific goals and learning styles.

Across all levels, I emphasise building study strategies, critical thinking, and independent learning skills, preparing students to succeed academically and beyond.



Tutoring Approach:

My tutoring style is student-centred, adaptive, and interactive. I focus on:

Personalised Learning: Assessing each student's needs, learning style, and goals to create tailored lesson plans that maximise engagement and retention.

Active Engagement: Using discussion, practical examples, and applied activities to make abstract concepts accessible and memorable.

Skill Development: Emphasising exam techniques, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills alongside knowledge acquisition.

Supportive Environment: Encouraging questions, curiosity, and confidence-building so students feel comfortable challenging themselves and exploring new ideas.

I aim to make tutoring a collaborative experience, where students are not just learning content but also developing the skills and mindset to excel independently.
