Ruby's Feedback

Ruby has been teaching my daughter since she became home educated approximately 2 years ago. My daughter was reluctant to engage online but Ruby's nurturing ways soon improved her confidence to the extent that she has been able to go back to school. Ruby teaches my daughter English and for a girl with special educational needs, she has come on in leaps and bounds. My daughter adores Ruby because she is firm, informative, and teaches her in a way that she is able to memorise and learn information. Moreover, Ruby is funny and this has really allowed for the development of a strong personal connection. In my eyes Ruby has been a saviour. Thankyou so much for everything you do. Your personal skills and the way you teach makes you a rare breed of teacher that is hard to find.

Ruby helped my daughter preparing her GCSE, gained more confidence in creative writing. Focused and friendly approach have been well received, my daughter enjoyed every lesson. Definitely a 5 star teacher to recommend.

Teaching style is not suitable.

Absolutely amazing!

As a mature student (31) redoing my English GCSE, I approached Ruby in desperation as exams were getting near and I needed to boost my grade.

Initially, i was worried about online tutoring however, from the very first lesson Ruby made me feel at ease and also, brought back the enjoyment of learning.

Without a doubt with Rubys' help, my grade has increased by at least two. This was only in 2 months!

I only have one regret; I wish I had time for more lessons!

Thank you!

Ruby has recently been helping my daughter (Y7) with special focus on her writing skills.
I find her punctual, instructive, motivational and sympathetic. In these difficult times she has been very flexible with lesson time and in her teaching approach making sure that my daughter understands and absorbs the information through discussion. My daughter eagerly waits for the next lesson. We can already see the difference in my daughter's confidence, approach and self-belief and would recommend Ruby.

Ruby is a superb teacher - knowledgeable on the subject (English Language GCSE) and also full of passion and energy. She enthuses my daughter such that - according to my daughter - the two hour lessons fly by. She encourages my daughter, keeps the lessons rolling at a fair pace and has high expectations in terms of exam results. Ruby provides regular check ins with me to update me on my daughter's progress and she is mindful of the kind of student she has before her; my daughter is on the shy side, and Ruby has done great work building her confidence and encouraging her to come out of her shell. I warmly recommend Ruby. We intend to continue with Ruby to GCSE and beyond.

Ruby was a super teacher to our two boys. She helped them pass their private school entrance exams smoothly. She was very organised, passionate and inspiring. Initially, not at all an easy task, but Ruby managed for them to open up and meanwhile they really enjoy writing and our older son even creates his own stories and loves writing poems. In a short period of time, Ruby taught both boys to write more poetic, deep, meaningful and very elaborate pieces of work, using different literary terms. They also improved massively in their creativity and resourcefulness. Thank you Ruby! We might be back in September once the boys start their new term in the UK.

My son (yr 11) is studying for GCSE exams and has Asperger Syndrome which makes it very difficult for him to excel in English. Although he is a bookworm and has an amazing knowledge and vocabulary, he finds it very difficult to put his ideas on the paper. Creative writing has always been his weak point.

I needed a tutor who would light his interest in English, who would show him how exciting English could be. We are happy to have found Ruby who is an accomplished teacher. From the first day she understood really well how to approach my Asperger son. She is one of those passionate teachers who truly want your child to succeed. She has also been amazing adapting her style to his mood to get most out of my son; sometimes gentle, sometimes right to the point, sometimes no non-sense, but always able to make him cooperate with her. Thank you Ruby.

Being an adult learner, I was apprehensive about hiring a tutor. Ruby put all those fears to the side, she was empathetic and welcoming. Her knowledge is excellent and her teaching method clear and effective. I feel confident in recommending Ruby & will be in contact in the future should I need any more tutoring.

Ruby is the right fit for my son and has made a real effort to understand how to get the best out of him. We know he is a challenge but Ruby focusses him well whilst maintaining his interest.

These are challenging times but Ruby is honest about what can be achieved virtually during C-19.

Very happy with the sessions to date. Ruby clarified exactly what areas my son required help with, and set expectations from the start. Sessions are challenging, but he’s already feeling much more confident about his exams.

We sought help for our daughter from Ruby when she achieved a disappointing result in her English language GCSE summer 2019. Although she passed the examination she felt she could do better. In just two months during September and October Ruby tutored Amy And she reset her GCSE at the beginning of November. It was a tough ask but Ruby not only helped her to improve her grade by two levels we also saw Amy grow in her own self belief and confidence. Ruby is a fantastic tutor who puts everything and more into her work and I would highly recommend her.

Ruby has been providing senior school English tuition to our child. In addition to sound knowledge, Ruby has excellent personal skills of rapport-building and teaching in a friendly way - reflecting her pleasant personality. In our child's own words "she understands me" - and this contributes to her inspiring teaching. Objectively, our child has scored the highest in English following teaching lessons with Ruby - highly recommended.

I would highly recommend Ruby. From the very first meeting she was engaging and approachable. Alex had previously not had a good year in English lessons and had been turned off the subject. After a few hours with Ruby we could see a huge difference. She connected with him instantly and is kind and nurturing. Alex went from being resistant to reading at all to reading daily. He is happy to attempt more challenging books and now asks excitedly to visit the bookstore! This is a gigantic turnaround.

Alex lacks self confidence but tries to hide it. Ruby recognised this quickly and has an incredible ability to encourage him and guide him so that he feels at ease. His comprehension and writing skills are rapidly improving as a result.

Ruby is a very kind, enthusiastic and talented teacher who adapts to the individual pupil. She also communicates extremely well with parents, updating us on progress and goals after every lesson. Most importantly, Alex looks forward to her lessons and says that the two hours always fly by as they are fun.

Ruby is an excellent tutor with both the knowledge and the ability to impart it. She is always enthusiastic and extremely dedicated to supporting and challenging my children. My daughter had been predicted a Grade 8 but wanted a Grade 9 and Ruby was successful in helping her to achieve her goal in the June 2019 examination. She meticulously prepares her lessons and is always willing to stay longer to provide more understanding. Ruby is equipped to teach every child and I will highly recommend her to any parent who needs support or challenge for their child.

Ruby is a fantastic teacher. She was able to get the best from my son within a short period, he doubled his grades in 5 weeks (we were late getting extra tuition). She has a confident and positive upbeat way of teaching, which inspired my son to think bigger and write with greater depth. Ruby creates a fantastic repore with the whole family.
I would highly recommend Ruby with all aspects of English Language.

Thank you Ruby

We have used Ruby, over the last few months, for our sin aged 13. Whilst he found maths relatively easy he struggled with maths. The improvement was noticeable straight away and for the first time, in his end of year exams, he was given the top grade in his English. Not only is Ruby very talented but she is able to develop these skills in her Tutees. In addition, she has a lovely manner and is full of encouragement. My son warmed to her straight away. I have now planned to ask Ruby to work with our younger children also.

I would highly recommend Ruby for any English related tutoring without any hesitation. I have used the services of quite a few tutors for my 3 children and would rate her abilities as among the best. She was very logical in asking the right questions, gaging my daughter's abilities and then setting realistic expectations on objectives. She has a deep knowledge of her subject matter and focused specifically on areas needed using a clearly defined plan, whilest making her lessons engaging and fun. My daugher improved from a predicted GCSE grade 3-4 to actually getting a grade 6. This was in an intensive 3 months (I left it quite late) and she also now has an increased enjoyment of the subject!
