Lucie’s time living abroad included working as both an Early Years specialist at Iparragirre Ikastola Primary School and an Advanced ESOL Teacher at Eidal Idiomas, Bilbao. Lucie is also qualified to teach the “Jolly Phonics” course, which allows children to learn English using the Synthetic Phonic system and adapt their tongue to the English sounds at a very young age.
Lucie returned to the UK in 2015 to start her young family whilst working as a part-time ESOL and Spanish Teacher at Kent Adult Education in Maidstone. More recently, Lucie’s intimate knowledge of the Maidstone education landscape has been deployed to serve her local community as a highly successful and sought-after 11 plus teacher, working in groups at a local Academy and as a private 1:1 tutor.
