About Lydia

I am a twenty four year old first-class graduate from the University of Bristol. I studied Liberal arts, which means I am able to study English, Theology, French, History, Creative Writing and Philosophy all in one degree. As you can glean from that, I have a deep love for learning, and I find that tutoring is another form of learning for me. The more I learn about how my students think and learn, and the more questions they ask, the more I learn about my subject, and about the process of learning itself.

I studied illustration at art school for a year before coming to University, and enjoy integrating visual communication with my lessons. I am very interested in how art and the visual can be brought into learning and memory more.

I have 6 years of tutoring experience, and find it very rewarding being able to break knowledge down and build it back up for students. Being able to watch my students progress and understand things makes me truly joyful, especially while I build personal relationships with them based on mutual respect. I love being able to keep teaching subjects that I no longer study, such as Maths and Chemistry. Being able to continuously connect with, understand and teach subjects that so inspired me allows me to expand my breadth of knowledge even wider.

I achieved a 9 at GCSE English Language, an 8 in English Literature, and an A* in A-Level English Literature.

I study English and Creative writing at university now and it has always felt natural to me. While in the beginning of my tutoring, this made it more difficult for me to teach (as I had to interrogate my own skills to teach them to others), I have been tutoring since I was 17, and have learnt as much from my students as (hopefully) they have learnt from me.

When it comes to students who struggle with English, I find that close readings of short passages can be helpful to make analysis more manageable, and writing down messy brainstorms can be helpful for those who struggle with the process of editing and organising their thoughts at the same time as thinking them.

However, each student is different. Sometimes it helps to apply certain rules to the reading of texts when working with students with a more left-sided brain or students who can spiral into disorganised thought. Sometimes the approach focuses around structure, and editing thought down, sometimes it is about breaking out of structure. Sometimes, students find that they really just need someone to discuss and develop their ideas with, as speaking them out loud allows their ideas to fall into a natural essay structure.

With creative writing, I have been writing for as long as I can remember. I was raised with an author for a father, and am currently taking a creative writing unit at university. The best way to decide if I am right for you in this capacity is to message me personally and we can have a discussion, as creative writing is a very individual practice.

As a student who has struggled with ADHD and who has been practicing CBT for 3 years, I try to understand how students think about things, what helps them to remember (whether it be visual exercises, acronyms, metaphor, question and answer, mind maps etc.), and to adjust to help them meet their needs. My lessons are usually around an hour long, but that is a very flexible factor.
