Reviews from First Tutors

4.7 across 67 reviews

Imported from Ritu B.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.

How we verify these

Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:

  • Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
  • Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.

The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

    We are very grateful for the support and guidance in chemistry subject Year 10, that our son has received from Ritu. We are so happy and blessed to have her as a tutor for my son. We had different tutors before and there is a huge difference in comparing with others. She is so well prepared, so good teaching techniques and a very good teacher, that knows how to work with students. The tutor explains concepts clearly and patiently, making even difficult topics much easier to understand. Our son has become more confident in his chemistry studies and is now much more comfortable approaching challenging problems. The tutor is always well prepared, supportive, and encouraging, which has made a real difference in our son’s progress and motivation. I appreciate that she cares about my son's progress giving him homework after each lesson and checking every single point so that she understand very clearly where my son is struggling. She can explain 5 times the same problem if needed. We are so happy with her, that take tutoring for math as well. Thank you Ritu for your dedication and commitment to helping students succeed. We truly appreciate the positive impact you have had on our son’s learning.

    Ritu has provided outstanding tutoring to my 15-year-old daughter over the past months. Each lesson is carefully planned with clear objectives, and the teaching materials are tailored to suit my daughter’s needs. Ritu’s expertise in maths and science is evident, and she explains difficult concepts in an accessible and engaging way, making lessons both productive and enjoyable. Most notably, Ritu fosters a positive and supportive learning environment, which has boosted my daughter’s confidence and motivation. I have seen genuine improvement in her understanding of maths and science, as well as her self-assurance. I highly recommend Ritu to any parent seeking excellent tutoring in these subjects.

    Booked Ritu through first tutors to support my daughter, currently in year 8 and provide her with a strong foundation in maths and science. We are 3 weeks in and have found Ritu to be very flexible and responsive in communications. My daughter has experienced both the group and 1 to 1 sessions finding the format and delivery style supportive to her needs and has been able to apply the principles learnt in the homework. Would certainly recommend Ritu to others!!!

    Ritu is an excellent Maths tutor. We found her through this website and we're really thrilled that we are working with her. She's always well-prepared for classes and ensures sufficient amount of work is given to my son so he can keep up with tutoring and with school at the same time. Her explanations are clear, she's using well-targeted tuition material that helps my son to the next level. I couldn't recomment her higher.

    Ritu is an excellent teacher. My daughter started her chemistry lessons recently, and has already started benefiting from (a) the way things are broken down to make difficult topics easy to follow and (b) the specific topic-based practice tests and questions. Highly recommended. I am sure I will add more to this feeback in the upcoming months.

    Our 15-year-old daughter has Ritu as a tutor to help with her Maths GCSE. Ritu quickly assessed our daughter's current level and has customized the tutoring sessions to meet her specific needs. She makes sure our daughter fully understands each topic and creates a very supportive environment where she feels comfortable asking questions. Since starting tutoring, our daughter's confidence and understanding of maths have grown significantly.

    We only started lessons with Ritu recently but are happy with the progress our year 6 daughter has made thus far. Not only have her maths skills improved, but her confidence has grown significantly. Before tutoring, our daughter often felt anxious about tricky topics like algebra and word problems, but now she approaches challenges with a positive attitude and a willingness to try. Ritu has a great way of making maths engaging and accessible, breaking concepts down into simple steps and providing plenty of encouragement. Her patient and supportive approach has made such a difference, and we’ve seen our child go from doubting her abilities to feeling more confident. Based on our experience, we would recommend Ritu to any parent looking for a tutor who not only improves results but also nurtures a child’s self-belief in their own abilities.

    We've been really pleased with Ritu as a Maths tutor for our son. She put in some time for us to chat through her way of teaching, what she expects from my son, holidays policy etc… i was able to ask all the questions I had for her. She tutors my son along with two other Year 9 boys on Fridays, and we have noticed significant improvement in his understanding of the subject. Ritu explains concepts clearly and is very patient, ensuring that all the students grasp the material. She is always punctual, polite, and professional, creating a positive and respectful learning environment. My son enjoys her lessons, and we truly appreciate her dedication and the progress he has made under her guidance… I would definitely recommend her !

    I was very happy that Ritu asked my daughter frequently whether she understands what she had just been taught. And whether she would like Ritu to repeat any explanation. Basically Ritu tested my daughter’s understanding to ensure my daughter was left clear about a learning point. A lot of work was revised in an hour and my year 13 child was a lot more confident after the first lesson . I am glad to have Ritu as a tutor . I am looking forward to the next lesson and grades going up !

    Ritu is a very good and experienced tutor and was very prompt in responding to my enquiries. But kindly note she specialises in only Maths and science and not English. Hence we couldn't go ahead with her this time for the full 11+ exam curriculum.

    My son has had tutor sessions with Ritu now for a couple of months. Due to my son moving school, there were gaps in his learning, which Ritu picked up on immediately. He is now in year 10 and to ensure he is working at a level to enable him to gain higher grades in all 3 sciences, Ritu has been going through content and pass papers with him every week. This has really helped my son because he feels more confident generally and his latest test marks at school have ranged from levels 7-9. Ritu has a lot of experience and knows exactly what it takes to help your child gain the best grades possible. I can highly recommend Ritu!

    Thank you Camilla. It's my pleasure to help him.

    An excellent tutor for my daughter who is studying for 11+ exam. Ritu is very compassionate and friendly tutor. Ritu explains all minor details of exam techniques and ensures that the pupil has a complete understanding of the topic. If necessary, Ritu will take the time to explain thoroughly unlike other tutors. I am very pleased with the progress my daughter is making.
