Ruth

I am a secondary English, Drama and Media teacher with a passion for inspiring students to actively engage with texts. I enjoy working with students of all abilities and enabling them to understand, explore and manipulate language in a range of forms and styles, both as every day life skills and to enable them to gain qualifications.

Although my background is secondary teaching through my Masters in Education and working as a Literacy Advisor for a Special Needs school I have an excellent knowledge of working with emerging readers and writers from below National Curriculum level 1 and of synthetic phonics.

I have experience working with both schooled and home educated children. I offer face-to-face and online tutoring.

Availability: I am able to tutor after school, or during the school day. I am available in term-time and school holidays.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have taught in a range of schools and at a range of levels from Entry Level to A-Level. I have also worked with home educated and schooled children of Primary school age.

I have taught in schools from 2001, with a range of full time posts as well as experience abroad. When I had children, I studied for my Masters in Education and then took on a part time role. I currently work as a tutor and supply teacher to enable a flexible work and family situation.

The last two teaching posts I held were Head of English in a challenging London school and Literacy Advisor in a special needs secondary school.

I have mentored newly qualified teachers and newly appointed heads of English.
