If you need further information, we would be delighted to help. Please contact our office using the information below.I can't say enough good things about Ruth. She works so well with my children. The boys look forward to their learning times with Ruth. Her patience and calm ways are a comfort for me as a mother. I feel that in the time that my children have spent being given private tuition by Ruth has been quality. I intend to have the children continue on with her.
Adam has only just started on his journey with Ruth, but he is loving going and the help Ruth is giving him.
Ruth is a kind and caring lady who listens to the child's needs and helps where needed. Adam loves going to the lessons with Ruth.Our son loves Mrs Ruth Grigg! She has been teaching him how to spell, read, understand the English language through a lot of activities and a lot of fun and many, many, smiles and laughter!
Our son Ted, is more confident now. He has been learning English, he has laughed, and he just can't wait for Ruth every Saturday!His teacher has said how pleased she is with his progress, and how much he is improving!
Before my child only got 2 out of 10 right, this time he had 10/10 right! That's never happened before!
