Ruth has only recently started tutoring my daughter but my daughter said so much already makes so much more sense. Would highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a Sociology tutor.

My daughter is autistic and has some difficulty processing and interpreting information. Ruth managed to build contact with her from the first lesson. She is very kind, patient is ready to support my daughter in every aspect. She goes above and beyond in order my girl can achieve the very best of her abilities. Without a doubt I would strongly recommend her.

Ruth is an experienced and kind tutor. She was able to quickly and accurately identify my son's weak areas in the subject whilst at the same time demonstrating a high level of understanding about how a 15 year old boy, and our son and his personality in particular, would best respond to assistance and styles of teaching. Ruth is professional, reliable, honest in her feedback as well as flexible in terms of timetable and being able to fit extra lessons when required.

It’s been a joy working with your son and I hope his fabulous efforts will be rewarded in the exams. Thank you for the lovely feedback.
