Lucy Literati Tuition Services

21/02/2026

Today marks 4 years since the creation of Lucy Literati Tuition Services!

In that time, I have taught over 100 students, from Reception to Year 13, covering maths, English, science, phonics, reading, handwriting, geography, 11+ prep, SATs prep, PSHE and even dabbled in Functional Skills - and have loved each and every minute! I've taught school students, home-schoolers and those who are a mixture of both.

When I started my little business, it was a way of continuing to teach but also to work around caring for my elderly parents. I never dreamed it would grow year on year to the size it is now. I am so incredibly thankful to all my wonderful students for enabling me to continue to do the job I love. Teaching your children is an absolute privilege - this is where I'm meant to be.

A hue thank you to all those that have recommended me to others. As a result, bar a few Facebook posts, I have never had to advertise which is incredible.

An extra special thank you to Chelsey Hughes, Suzanne Simons and Gemma O'Donnell whose amazing children have all been with me since the very beginning. Watching your children grow and develop in that time has been an incredible experience - I love them all dearly. You will all be receiving a free tuition session in the next few weeks as a huge thank you!

Happy Saturday everyone and thank you, from the bottom of my heart❤️.

Why do I keep banging on about this petition?

Well, the latest news in Bella Catten's story, is that she may not even be allowed to take GCSE PE from September, because she doesn't do one of the 'approved sports' outside of school.

This kid trains 3-4 times a week in martial arts, is studying towards becoming a Junior Instructor, competes very successfully and is attending her first international competition next month. Sport is her life. And yet she can't do GCSE PE? How can this possibly be fair??

Bella is far from the only one. You only have to read our ambassador's stories to see that.

So please, even if it doesn't affect you personally, please take the time to sign the petition, click the link in your email and then share this post. It'll take 30 seconds of your time but will make a big difference to us.

We are always after more ambassadors and club/student pictures too, so if you are a MA student and want us to tell your story, or a MA club who wants to be featured, contact us!

Lastly, if you are a secondary PE teacher, we desperately need to hear from you. It is your voice that may make the real difference. Please get in touch.

For more info on our ambassadors and story so far, head on over to our FB page: https://www.facebook.com/MartialartsGCSE and/or our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gcsemartialart/

Martial Arts is a popular sport for children. Yet dedicated, passionate, talented students can no longer use them for GCSE. I think Martial Arts are wholly inclusive, appeal to all genders, all ethnic backgrounds and children with SEN. They can help promote fitness, self-discipline and respect.

Please could I ask all my friends and family to sign this petition? All you need is your name and email address.

A group of parents and TKD instructors are trying to get martial arts like Taekwondo reinstated as one of the approved sports for GCSE PE. It is so unfair that children like Bella Catten, who live and breathe the sport are unable to use it towards their qualification. We have lots of ideas for getting noticed but if anyone has any suggestions, we are open to them!

Two years ago today I saw my very first tuition student! Fast forward to today, I now have 40 students and absolutely love my job. To all my students and their families and to my wonderful family and friends for your support and encouragement - a huge thank you 💖
