Crossword Genius

Turned out badly, lacking education (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

untutored

'lacking education' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'turned out badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'turned'+'out'='turnedout'
'turnedout' is an anagram of 'UNTUTORED'.

(Other definitions for untutored that I've seen before include "lacking refinement" , "Not taught" , "lacking education" , "without formal education" , "Lacking formal teaching" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
