Lucy has worked with various Developmental & Educational Psychologists and developed her own methods and teaching aids that complement her teaching plan.  With a variety of resources available children are provided with the individual tools needed to flourish towards their best.

Lucy has worked with a large number of children over the years. Some of those requiring just a little further help and explanation, to children with varied special needs.
