About Riya
I’m Riya, and I’m currently training at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I am an actor and deviser, learning to make and write my own work for theatre, so I can write important, inclusive and exciting stories. I have a huge love for English language and literature. I always cared about it more than other subjects! I loved that I could write and read about whatever I wanted. No limits. Currently I am working on various pieces of theatre writing, including a monologue that is soon to be showcased at a new writing night at a West End theatre. I always thought my best teachers were the ones who genuinely loved what they taught. I also think that right now, English can be taught in a very pretentious and elitist way. I want to change that. I want to show that English can be enjoyable and accessible to everyone, and your proficiency in it does not define your intelligence or status but simply gives you access to English speaking resources and places, and another way to express yourself!

I teach basic language and grammar aimed at beginner English speakers. I also teach story writing, introductions to poetry composition, descriptive writing and essay planning. These are aimed at younger students in primary and lower secondary school, except for essay planning which can apply to GCSE and A Level students too. Depending on the student, I cater my classes to what they want to work on and my pace is dictated by them. It is important to me that the lessons are catered to the individual and made as accessible as possible. The environment I create in classes is always relaxed, aimed to be as comfortable as possible for the student. I prefer to use various resources and images so I can cater to students who think more visually as well as those who prefer more academic methods. There is no sense of condescension or ego here, no elitist views of English - your proficiency in the language doesn’t define your intelligence or status, I just simply want to give you another way to express yourself and access English dominated resources and spaces. I want you to learn how empowering it can be to write your own work and read new perspectives.
