About Lucy

34 years old Speaks English German
I am a fully qualified teacher (gained my PGCE in 2012) specialising in ICT. I then worked in SEN from 2012-2019. I have worked with mostly older children although as I have done SEN care, I have dealt with incontinence, personal care, bathing etc. I specialise in ASD. I have worked in both a home environment and an academic setting so would feel comfortable tutoring most subjects up to KS3 and certain subjects up until KS4. I have worked in a childcare setting for around 6 months in 2010 before the company I worked for disbanded. This covered the ages of 4-11. I have my own child, a daughter, born in 2018 so left work in 2019 to look after her. Willing to give further examples and details if necessary. My qualifications : 11 GCSEs (8As 3Cs) 4 A levels (AABB) 2:1 in digital media PGCE in ICT Level 3 cert in understanding Autism Level 2 cert in Looking after children Level 2 cert in Understanding mental health conditions I absolutely adore reading books and bringing literature alive. I've passed that love onto my daughter and would love to pass it onto any child I meet. My philosophy is that all children like reading/being read to and if they don't it's because they haven't found the right book for them yet.
