13 Lovely Years!

Today marks 13 years since I graduated from my English Literature and Education course. It feels like both yesterday and a lifetime ago!
What Makes Me Tick? ✓
When I was a teaching assistant, I was always amazed by the creativity kids brought to their writing.
Unfortunately, with creativity being squeezed out of the curriculum, one in three children are not gaining the writing skills they need for secondary school and beyond*. 😱
That's where I come in! With my English degree and a passion for storytelling, I'm here to help children become confident and skilled writers - all while having lots of fun!

"Ryan has been a brilliant tutor for my 11 year old son. His lessons are fun and very interactive.
Before working with Ryan, he didn't like writing and couldn't express his thoughts on paper well.
Now he enjoys writing stories and I enjoy reading them. Thank you Ryan!"
