Ruth D.

Learning can be fun and it's well-known that children learn better and faster when they feel happy, confident and relaxed. I therefore aim to be friendly and approachable to ensure that children are ready to learn to the best of their ability.

My name is Ruth and I absolutely love teaching, particularly teenagers, who, let’s face it, can sometimes get a bit of a bad press. With over 26 years teaching experience, both abroad and in the UK, I’ve taught English as a 2nd language for many years and worked for The British Council in Thailand, Egypt and Venezuela. I then trained as a Design & Technology teacher by doing a PGCE to gain Qualified Teacher status and taught in Secondary Schools in The UK for over 10 years. I specialise in teaching neurodiverse children, including those with ADHD & ADD, plus those with dyslexia. These children can sometimes struggle in mainstream schooling and often get behind in their work. I can help them to catch up and realise their full potential.
