Information about Ruth
I am a fully qualified English Teacher (both Language and Literature) at Key Stages 3, 4 & 5 with a proven track record in state secondary education and private tutoring, based on the East Sussex/Kent border. In my roles as a part-time English Teacher in a school and a private tutor, I have consistently raised the achievement level of my pupils, often by several grades.
I have a BA Honours degree in English and American Literature. I spent many years working in the city as a solicitor, before following my true vocation of teaching, where I have found my niche. I qualified via the Schools Direct Scheme and obtained my PGCE from the University of Sussex.
I have recently completed a Master of Arts in Education at the University of Sussex with a focus on encouraging reading to improve life chances. I am very enthusiastic about my subject and I am keen to support pupils who need extra tutoring for a variety of reasons. I have experience with tutoring SEN pupils and Looked After Children.
I am passionate about teaching, and enjoy seeing the difference I can make to children’s lives. I am a highly enthusiastic, knowledgeable and well-prepared teacher with a calm, patient approach and I inspire my pupils with a love of English, giving them the confidence to do well in their exams.

Feedback For Ruth (40)

Ruth has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter as she prepared for her English Literature IGCSE, and I would thoroughly recommend her. We came to Ruth in April after my daughter had struggled with unseen poetry and poetry comparison questions in her mock exams, which had badly affected her confidence. Ruth quickly helped rebuild both her skills and confidence, working through these question types with tremendous patience and expertise. She also provided excellent supporting materials to aid revision. Ruth is an exceptionally talented English tutor as well as a genuinely kind and encouraging person. We feel very fortunate to have found her.
Tutors Response :
Hi Mette,
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It has been an absolute pleasure to help your daughter this year, and a delight to see how her confidence has grown, particularly in relation to the questions on poetry. I do hope that she has done well in the exams and I look forward to seeing her results in the summer. Good luck to her in the rest of the exams.
Kind regards,
Ruth
