Ruqayyah is a brilliant teacher - engaging, funny and ensures she is going at a suitable pace. I've never enjoyed learning a language so much.
From Tanjina
Ruqayyah is patient and answers all my questions. I’m very much enjoying the pace that we’re learning.
Teaching Tanjina is a real pleasure - looking forward to getting her fluent in French!
From Bryony
We are really enjoying learning Spanish with Ruqayyah! She is always well prepared for our lessons and we're really happy with the progress we have been able to make in our lessons. Ruqayyah is a fantastic professional tutor and we look forward to learning more with her.
From Kasmin
So far I observed during the period of tutoring to my son, Ruqayyah is very sincere and dedicated towards her teaching. She is knowledgeable, friendly, supportive and a very patient teacher, which makes her an ideal educator. Also she is able to explain things very well using different methods as per the learners’ needs. I hope I son will be able to achieve the grade that he has been targeting.
Thank you so much Kasmin,
I really enjoy teaching Jawad very much and am excited to see him continue progressing in Spanish :)
From Miranda
She is very easy to get along with. I was a bit anxious about starting but right away I knew she was right for me. Being a mid-30s Canary Wharf female I needed someone who is flexible to my schedule and understands my main objectives. While it is early stages I am already feeling more confident in my Spanish speaking abilities.
Thanks Miranda! Your Spanish is coming along really well - keep up the good work!
From Josh
Kaya is quite the teacher, full of pizzazz and armed with a wealth of language knowledge, she doesn't make you feel stupid though which is ideal.
Haha, thanks Josh!
From Rachel
Have really enjoyed my lessons with Ruqayyah! The grammar / writing exercises that she sets are always pretty fun and useful for structuring the lessons. She also focuses a lot on pronunciations and accents, which I find very helpful.
Thank you, Rachel
Your grammar level and range of vocab was already very good and you're sounding more and more French every day! Keep up the work with the accent practice and you'll soon find people think you're French when you're talking :)
From Daniel
A very good tutor, quite busy. At first we had trouble getting a sustainable time, but afterwards was fine.
From Philomena
From Steven
Really good way of explaining things and made to feel comfortable. Very easy to understand.
From Sarah
Ruqayyah has been brilliant at teaching us French. We have recently bought a family home in France so would like to be able to survive conversing with the neighbours and locals. We've only had a few lessons so far but are already feeling more confident. We are all different ages; 28, 32 and 58 so have been out of education for some time and have always struggled with languages but are finding it easier with Ruqayyah's methods. Looking forward to each week! Would highly recommend her.
From Dharshaini
Ruqayyah has been very eager to help my brother improve his modern language skills. Always professional and friendly, she has already increased his confidence and passion for the subject within a few weeks. Ruqayyah bases her lessons around my brother's needs and constantly checks that he is following her. She also sets weekly homework and sends extra teachings through emails as voice recordings and documents. All these has proven to be extremely helpful, and I am constantly impressed by her desire to teach excellently.
From Jaya
From Ami
Ruqayyah is amazing! She’s a total professional and is very tuned into people’s individual needs. Lessons are both fun and challenging and I take away so much from them. I have made fantastic progress with her in a few short months and can’t wait to nail French so I can move on to the next language with her. Highly recommended!
From Stephen
Fantastic teacher and couldn’t recommend her highly enough .
From Sara
Very patient and the lessons are built around us
From Jenny
Ruqayyah is an excellent tutor who I would highly recommend. Her lessons are always well planned and she adapts them to be relevant to my interests and needs. She is patient, friendly and encouraging and I feel my Spanish has taken a huge leap forward since starting lessons with her! I have studied with a number of tutors and can honestly say Ruqayyah is the most organised and professional I have come across. Her lessons are always fun and I now have a new found confidence in my Spanish learning!
From Michael
Excellent tutor. My children love her and have come on so much with their Spanish since Ruqayyah has been teaching them.
Thanks so much, Michael.
I love teaching Lizzy and Anna :) Lizzy has a crazy memory considering she's only seven and Anna is amazing at spelling, presentation and attention to detail! She's very mature for a ten-year-old
They both have lovely manners and great potential in Spanish - thank you so much for choosing me as your teacher!
From Shaun
I started learning Spanish to help me with my job. Ruqayyah has been an excellent and helpful tutor- always creating ways to help me remember certain phrases or grammar. I started learning from scratch and in the short period i have been doing lessons i have learnt a great deal. I woild recommend Ruqayyah to anyone-beginner or expert.
From Rebecca
Couldn't recommend Ruqayyah as a tutor any more! I've only had a few lessons so far but already feel like I am picking things up quickly.
Lessons are always tailored, and they are always productive, fun and challenging, and the homework she sets is always really helpful.
Ruqayyah is a lovely person, so helpful and patient, and I can't wait to continue my lessons :)
Loved teaching Rebecca so far!
She's already come to the class with good knowledge of Spanish and is very proactive with the homework I set her - I'm impressed with her ability to absorb the amount of information we pack into our sessions and am really pleased with her progress so far
If she carries on as she is, she'll be fluent in no time!
From Sarah
I am learning Spanish, as a beginner-intermediate and so far it is going really well. Ruqayyah is a really friendly tutor and always professional. The lessons are fun and we laugh a lot but they are very structured and focused towards what I want to achieve. I am Dyslexic and she is very flexible with her teaching and is understanding of my needs. She is always well prepared for the lessons, and always happy to re-cover material that I have found difficult, or go into it further if I need more explanation or understanding. Her knowledge of languages really helps with understanding how to form sentences correctly and my pronunciation has improved very quickly.
Ruqayyah has been amazing and I have found my tuition to be an enjoyable experience. I do not hesitate to recommend her xxx
Sarah is a vivacious person and a very intelligent student who doesn't allow her dyslexia to affect her drive - the only things I'd really ever have said were lacking with respect to Sarah's Spanish abilities were her confidence in speaking spontaneously and having a little patience with herself when she made the odd mistake!
I've enjoyed watching her improve greatly over the course of our classes together and she's much quicker and more confident to answer than before - she always had an excellent accent, vocabulary range and knack for picking up new grammar rules
I'm really very proud of the progress she's made and, while we do always have a good laugh together, the dedication she's put into learning Spanish has been admirable thus far - thanks for choosing me as your tutor, Sarah! xxx
From Joshua
Lessons are always fun and challenging. Homework is always extremly helpful. Ruqayyah is very pacient and creative teacher!
Josh is a very fast learner and is making great progress with his pronunciation after only a very short time studying with me :)
He's very quick to pick up techniques to improve his phonetic abilities and has worked really hard since his first lesson.
I'm really satisfied with the work he's done so far and he has a lot of potential to do very well - can't wait to see where his French will take him!
From Stuart
Great tutor that's kept me motivated well past the 20 or so lessons I'd planned prior to a holiday in Italy. Over the past few months Kaya has tailored lessons to my ability and continually challenged me in new areas. I've not always thanked her at the time, but she's helped me progress far quicker than I ever could without a tutor. Thoroughly recommended :)
Stuart is a hardworking, analytical, dedicated and inquisitive student who has excelled in Italian!
I've thoroughly enjoyed teaching him so far and look forward to continue supporting him in his progress and making the most of his capabilities :) well done, Stuart!
From Eddie
Ruqayyah is an excellent teacher and has filled me with confidence in my first few Spanish lessons with her patient and fun approach. Looking forward to the next lesson. I would very highly recommend Ruqayyah to anybody looking for a tutor. :)
Eddie is learning very quickly considering how long he's been studying and has a lot of potential :)
In addition, he's been very committed to the work I've given him outside of class so far so I really do have high hopes for him!
From Lynn
The best tutor ever! Makes learning a new language easy and fun
Lynn and Dukeland are some of my longest-standing students and they're an absolute pleasure to teach
I can safely say they have made massive progress in Spanish: their spoken, written and aural skills have soared since we first started, their articulation is fantastic and watching their confidence in their own abilities grow has been delightful :)
Just a little bit of practice really does go a long way - well done to the both of you!
From Chris
I would have no hesitation in recommending Ruqayyah. She has a really patient and engaging approach to learning. I was slightly apprehensive about learning a language having not studied for some considerable time but Ruqayyah quickly put me at ease. 5/5 for me!
Chris is a quick learner and I can tell he's going to do really well with a bit of assistance and structure.
Great, bright and committed student - he'll be chatting away in Spanish in no time :) practice makes perfect so keep it up!
From Mandy
Ruqqayyah has been excellent in her responses to queries and making arrangements for tutoring. I observed her 1st session this week and it was brilliant. Well organised, engaging, fun and everyone was speaking Spanish at the end of it - what more could you ask for. A great choice in tutor and would highly recommend
Mrs Moretta's students (and their mums and dads!) are a delight to teach and I'd highly recommend the school - to work in or in which to enrol students. Really bright, friendly, engaged and enthusiastic young individuals.
Definitely on board with this programme (after-school extra-curricular Spanish for students and their parents to learn together) as I believe strongly in parents getting stuck in with their kids' educations - and it's fun/a bonus for them to learn a new language or skill alongside their kids too!
The course is a really progressive, sensible and holistic move for the kids on the school's part and even after just a week, I know it's going to be a fantastic experience teaching at Weatherhead :) looking forward to bringing in some non-alcoholic sangria to share out at next week's class!
From David
Ruqayyah is a an excellent tutor. She has tailored the sessions for my wife and me so that they give us exactly what we need to progress. She is charming and encouraging and goes out of her way to be helpful. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their Spanish.
I really have loved tutoring Dave and Jane. They're keen learners and rounded conversationalists with many interests - and they're lovely people!
I'm sad that they'll be leaving for Spain but very happy knowing they're going with a bit more practice under their belts. Thank you for choosing me as your tutor - it's been a real pleasure!
From Tony
Kaya's a patient and considerate teacher who has been genuinely concerned with my progress. Our lessons have been enjoyable and my understanding of Spanish has certainly improved over the last 6 weeks. Thanks Kaya!
From Connor
Great tutor be mad to go anywhere else Very welcoming Great value for money Fun to learn Knows how people learn I had to 2 months to learn Italian and she doing great job because she cares Andrew is motivated
From Duncan
From Amanda
Ruqayyah has been excellent and very patient teaching me, given me confidence and I feel I have a good grasp of Spanish. Still a work in progress but with Ruqayyah support do think I'll be able to hold my own in a conversation albeit a slow one!
Amanda is a quick and perceptive student (considering she also has a lot to juggle outside of our classes!) and thus far, I'm really impressed with the progress she's made.
Her pronunciation came along within the first hour of teaching her and she appears to have had little trouble understanding new concepts in grammar :) looking forward to building her confidence and to chatting away with her in Spanish!
From Ruth
Ruqayyah has proved to be a great teacher so far. She works with me at my pace and helps between our sessions by setting practical and easy to follow homework.
From Paul
Had one lesson and we are very happy to have met Ruqayyah , lovely person , professional , put us at ease so much so we're really looking forward to learning Spanish with her over the next ?????
Really glad to be tutoring Paul and Trisha!
Thanks for coming to me - I look forward to helping you learn to speak Spanish!
From Michael
Very friendly and helpful.
Thank you, Michael!
Looking forward to making more progress with you in preparation for your exams :)
From Sam
Great tutor would definitely recommend.
Absolutely love teaching Isabelle through play - she's a very bright and bubbly four-year-old and is loads of fun!
She's made huge progress since she first started doing her nursery rhymes and flashcards - she now knows all of her body-parts in French and can string together little sentences.
Very proud of her hard work and am looking forward to doing some more games with her next time I see her!
