Information about Ruth
I am a qualified primary school teacher with over 25 years experience teaching across the primary age range. After working at schools in London for 15 years I taught in International Schools in the fascinating city of Cairo, for another 10 years. It was while living in Cairo that I first started tutoring and I loved it! I enjoy the flexibility to develop programmes of work that are uniquely tailored to each individual and seeing them progress and develop. I am currently working as a tutor with two different tutoring companies and like many tutors have switched to working online during the Covid-19 outbreak.
As well as many years of classroom teaching I have experience in tutoring both individuals and small groups in English and Maths, Year 2 and Year 6 SATs preparation and 11+ preparation. I also have experience in teaching beginner violin/ viola and piano. I use an online teaching platform called Bramble which I have found to be very effective in communicating with students.
I am currently undertaking further study to become a specialist dyslexia teacher and also have a great deal of experience in working with students for whom English is not their first language.
