What Matters to Me?

✅  Firing up young folks' curiosity with fun songs, quizzes and games.

✅  Helping develop plot, character and setting with learning built around topics they love.

✅  Boosting confidence & knowledge at a pace that's right for them.

My Unique Approach

📙  I tailor lessons to each child's passions, ambitions + needs. ('One-size-fits-all' is for hats!)

📙  I focus on developing critical thinking + life-long learning rather than purely on a test.

📙  I include dedicated 'blow your own trumpet' time to celebrate their successes. 🎺

Why Do I Love Tutoring?

As a teaching assistant in primary schools, I see how creative and innovative children can be. There just isn't ever enough time for it in the school curriculum!

That's why I dedicate my afternoons to helping young folks' imaginations flourish. Mixing creative writing, thought-provoking discussions and inspirational stories & poems.

Picking my jaw up from the floor is a brilliant consequence of helping children to write!

🎓 Qualifications and Experience
I have a degree in English literature & education (BA Hons) and 5 years of tutoring / SEN teaching assistant experience in schools.

Ryan is wonderful! He became our lockdown hero and Joshua looked forward to all his sessions.

Ryan has the ability to hold attention, and is kind, patient and fun.

We hope to use Ryan again in the future. Cannot recommend him enough.

My young kids have been getting Ryan's weekly online lesson for a year.

I really appreciate his gentle and patient approach with big smile toward kids and am so pleased whenever I see them paying full attention during lesson.

Lessons are well structured upon the kids' level and progress. Moreover, diligent feedbacks after each lesson gives me clear idea where my kids are in.

He has so much helped my kids to improve English so far, and I therefore highly recommend Ryan.
