About me...

 

Dr Lisa Thurlow academic coach, private university tutor, researcher and writer.

I’ve been lucky to spend many years teaching and tutoring students from all over the world. During my time lecturing at UK universities, I’ve worked with students from China, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, India, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond—many of whom are learning in English as a second language.

​

I started out studying design and building a career in industry, but it was through lecturing that I discovered my true passion: helping students learn and grow. I’m especially interested in the challenges that can make university feel tough—language barriers, learning differences, or cultural differences. By working closely with each student and tailoring my support to their needs, I’ve seen them succeed far beyond their own - and their parents’ - expectations.

​With many years of teaching experience, a Doctorate in Education, and Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy, (Advance HE), I’m passionate about helping every student reach their potential—even the most challenging ones. I’m also trained in mental health and wellbeing, which means I can offer a caring, holistic approach tailored to each individual’s needs.

When I am not teaching, I am fortunate to live in a very rural part of England, surrounded by nature. I have a passion for art, horticulture, and when time permits, a spot of sailing.
