Lily grew up in New York and attended Groton School on an academic scholarship, scoring in the 97th percentile on the SSAT and achieving top SAT and AP results. She then crossed to the UK to read English and Philosophy at Durham University.
Lily began tutoring at 15 through Groton’s programme supporting students at a local school in English, Maths and Music. At Durham she was a Fresher Representative and helped first-year English and Philosophy students with university-level essay writing. In London she has helped many students taking the ISEE and SSAT raise their scores into the 90th percentile, and worked on essay writing, English literature and Maths up to GCSE.
Lily values the freedom one-to-one tutoring gives to tailor every session. She builds an open, trusting relationship with each student and uses discussion to guide them to their own conclusions, which builds genuine confidence in their thinking. She aims to make every session helpful, fun and encouraging.
