Ruth is an excellent tutor and a lovely lady. My son has autism and is very nervous around teachers but he got on with Ruth instantly. She has a very caring and calm manner and got to know his "foibles" quickly and directed him in a way he understood. She went out of her way to fit in extra sessions before exams and my son achieved the grade needed to stay on in 6th form, which wouldn't have happened without her tutoring. It's a pity we're not going to need her expertise for his 6th form subjects.
Thank you for your kind words, Jan. He did so well this summer and I wish him all the best.
From Vinny
We engaged Ruth for help with GCSE English and the results were excellent. She set just the right level of challenge in the sessions and homework and her thoughtful, engaging approach encouraged better understanding and independent thinking that not only improved on predicted grades in English by 2 points but also brought on marked gains in other subjects. Highly recommended!!
Thank you Vinny. Wishing him all the best in the future.
From Abdul

From Gangotri
My son in Year 9 has started having English lessons with Ruth since last few months. Her lessons are engaging, useful, and she was very patient. She is always encouraging him to try different techniques. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning English. Thank you Ruth.
Thank you Gangotri!
From Michael
Ruth was a great help to my son leading up to his GCSE English (unfortunately Covid 19 put a stop to things). His grades improved and he was progressing well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ruth.
Thank you Michael.
From Katie
Ruth has been a fantastic tutor for my 13 year old home educated daughter. My daughter had a traumatic experience of high school, and she suffers with severe anxiety along with other health conditions. Ruth has such a kind and gentle approach, and gets the best out of my daughter using positive praise and encouragement. Since being tutored by Ruth, my daughter has not only improved immensely with her English skills, and working at a higher level than her high school peers, but she has also grown in confindence and self esteem, and actually looks forward to her English lesson each week. I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for private tuition.
Katie
Thank you Katie. It's been a pleasure working with you both.

Thanks Linda!
You know how much I enjoy working with Matthew. It's been an absolute pleasure to see him progress this year. No pressure Matthew but you do seem to be going from strength to strength! See you in September!
From Tim
I am very pleased to give Ruth our highest possible endorsement.
Ruth tutored our son toward his GCSE English - she came shortly after his mock exams and had an almost immediate impact. This, in turn, grew his confidence in English but also in other subjects.
She was kind, patient, easy to deal with but also prepared, knowledgeable and professional.
We are very grateful for her help.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. It was a pleasure working with Oliver and I'm looking forward to hearing how well he's done!
From Haroon
Ruth has been a great tutor for my daughter. She has a great deal of subject experience and was able to support my daughter each step of the way in preparation for her English GCSE examinations. My daughter felt that Ruth was patient with her, helped to build her confidence, and she felt very comfortable discussing her subject problems. Ruth really cares about how well her students do and has been very supportive. Thanks Ruth.
Thanks Haron.
From Alan
Ruth has done a fantastic job with my son. She has been consistently reliable and professional and has often gone beyond expectations to ensure that he is as well prepared for his GCSEs as possible. In the short time she has worked with him, he has become much more confident in his skills.
Thanks Alan!
