Lucy Ashworth

Hi, I’m Lucy – a qualified nurse and English tutor passionate about helping international healthcare professionals and English learners communicate clearly, confidently, and naturally.

With over 13 years' experience in the UK NHS and more than 600 classroom teaching hours in Sri Lanka, I specialise in Medical English, OET preparation, and Everyday Conversational English. Whether you're a nurse preparing to work in an English-speaking country or a learner wanting to feel more confident in daily conversations, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

????? As a former Senior Nurse Practitioner in Ophthalmology and Wound Care, I understand the real-life communication challenges faced by healthcare professionals. My Medical English and OET-focused lessons are designed to help you succeed in interviews, clinical conversations, handovers, documentation, and patient interactions—with lessons tailored to your professional needs.

?? I hold a First-Class Honours BSc in Nursing, and I’m completing an Advanced TEFL Diploma (180 hours) with specialist training in Teaching Business English and One-to-One Online Tutoring. I also hold a Level 3 Award in Education and Training.

?? My teaching style is engaging, active, and completely student-focused. I create a space where you feel relaxed, involved, and confident to try. We’ll work through topics that are meaningful to you, using interactive tools, role-plays, discussions, and real-life language practice. This helps you develop fluency and understanding naturally, without pressure.

Whether you're improving spoken English for work, aiming to pass the OET, or want to feel more confident in everyday conversation, I will guide you at your pace with lessons that are dynamic, personalised, and empowering.

? Students say they enjoy my sessions because they’re structured but flexible, supportive yet challenging, and always focused on real communication, not just textbooks.

Let’s work together to meet your goals—book a trial and see how engaging, effective learning can be.
