Ruby

I am a journalist and qualified ESOL tutor with a first-class Masters degree in English Literature.
I would be an ideal source of support for anyone needing help with English speaking or writing, or essay writing in any subject.
I spent a year living in Turkey where I provided one-on-one English lessons to Turkish speaking adults.
I also worked as a home tutor to a Year 2 and Year 4 pupils, helping them to pass the curriculum remotely.
I am very flexible!
I am friendly and relaxed but confident I can help you achieve real results.
If you are interested we can have a short introductory meeting (free) to chat about what your current level and your goals.
I enjoy working with all ages
