About Lydia
I’m an experienced English teacher with over 30 years in UK classrooms, working with students aged 11–18 in both state and independent schools — including top-tier institutions. I’ve taught and examined across all major exam boards (AQA, Cambridge, OCR), with a strong track record of boosting student confidence and achieving excellent results in both GCSE and A-Level English Language and Literature.
Throughout my career, I’ve supported a wide range of learners — including high-achieving students through my successful 'Pushing for 9 Club', as well as neurodiverse pupils needing tailored, confidence-building support. My specialism in one-to-one tuition comes from decades of mentoring alongside classroom teaching, and I’m now enjoying offering that focused, high-impact support online.
I offer a warm, engaging learning environment where students can develop critical thinking, essay-writing, and textual analysis skills, whether they’re aiming to pass, excel, or apply to top universities.

I aim to foster pupil autonomy and confidence by providing clear knowledge, effective techniques and crucial time management skills that students need to thrive within exam conditions.
In lessons, I will set a challenge, model it, question it, then give students practice followed by feedback and further questioning. Learning how to question a text or task is how students develop confidence and engagement.
I have created thousands of resources over the years, allowing pupils to access transparent, actionable, and readily obtainable information, boosting their comprehension and attainment.
I have specialist experience supporting neurodiverse students as well as coaching for top grades and applications to top universities.

We are very grateful to Lydia for guiding our daughter through her GCSE English language and Literature over the last year.
We found her to be methodical and her resources well put together, with strong developmental feedback given. My daughter found the way Lydia explored themes, techniques and characters really helpful. Together they created detailed revision flashcards, model essay answers and Lydia‘s passion for literature was definitely contagious! Lydia gave good predictions for the Literature paper questions and lots of scaffolding to improve essay writing.
Our daughter is dyslexic and her school did not have an appropriate teacher for the first term of year 11. Lydia was able to complete any missing input and keep us on track.
She is highly emotionally intelligent, coaching as well as teaching our daughter, who felt very confident going into the exams.Mrs Livingston was my teacher for my Alevels from 2023-2025. She provided in depth discussion points and encouraged both an analytical and enjoyable instruction on the texts we studied. With her teaching, I was able to achieve an A* in my English Literature Alevel under the OCR exam board.
