Information about Ruth

I am an Oxford University honours degree qualified teacher and tutor, with 20+ years of primary school teaching and private tutoring, including preparing pupils for 11+ exams. I have a wealth of experience of teaching primary pupils of all ages with a wide range of learning needs.

I specialise in preparing pupils in Y2 and Y6 for English and Mathematics SATs, as well as providing general tuition in English and Mathematics. I also have thorough subject knowledge in the teaching of phonics for reading and writing.

With private tuition and one to one teaching and learning, I believe it is paramount that the tutor is patient, understanding and kind and builds up a positive working relationship with the pupil in order to help them to succeed.

I am now offering summer holiday booster sessions for pupils preparing for 11+.

Availability: Due to a surge in recent uptake, I now have very few spaces left. If you are interested in tutoring for your child for the summer vacation or longer term, please get in touch with me as soon as possible and I will see what I can put in place. Wishing everyone a great summer vacation!

I am available for private tuition in English and Mathematics for pupils of any primary school age. Please note: I offer online lessons only, currently.

Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you require further information. I am very prompt in my responses and I am looking forward to hearing from you

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Recent teaching in Year 6 means that I am up to date with current curriculum requirements for reading, writing, grammar and mathematics and how to help pupils achieve expected standard/greater depth in these core subjects.

We have been absolutely delighted with the tuition Ruth has provided for our sons in preparation for their Year 6 SATs. Ruth`s teaching has made a real difference. Ruth is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also warm, patient, and engaging – qualities that have really helped build our children`s confidence and understanding in both subjects. The progress we`ve seen has been excellent, and our boys genuinely enjoy their sessions with her. She explains things clearly, tailors the work to their individual needs, and keeps them motivated throughout. We couldn’t be happier with the tuition Ruth has provided, and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and skilled tutor.

I am glad that I found Ruth. She is very professional and my daughter really enjoys her lessons with Ruth. I like the way Ruth assessed my daughter and tailored her lessons accordingly. My daughter wanted someone who explains concepts in detail and Ruth does it exactly the way she understands. I will definitely recommend Ruth to others. Thank you.

She is, without a doubt, one of the most insightful and empathetic teachers I have ever encountered. She possesses a remarkable ability to deeply understand children and to nurture their individual strengths with great care. Her warm and gentle approach allows her to genuinely connect with students at their level, fostering a supportive and encouraging learning environment. Her lessons are exceptionally well structured, and the quality of her teaching is truly outstanding. Both of my children are currently learning under Ms. Ruth’s guidance, and we are absolutely delighted with their progress. It is our sincere hope to continue this valuable relationship with her for many years to come.
