About Ryan
I’m Ryan, a fully qualified teacher holding QTS, with over a decade of international experience in education. I spent several years working in Shanghai, where I served as an English Principal for a bilingual school and as a PGCE mentor for university trainee teachers. I have recently returned to London, where I currently work as an Alternative Provisions Teacher supporting learners with specific educational needs.
After years of managing school operations and training other educators, I have realised my true passion still lies in working directly with students one-on-one. Having taught a wide variety of subjects throughout my career—from KS3 to KS5 Humanities and AS Psychology, right through to IELTS preparation for international students—I have built a massive toolkit of adaptable teaching strategies.
I tutor because I genuinely love the 'lightbulb' moments. There is nothing quite like helping a student build their confidence, overcome a difficult academic hurdle, and finally realise what they are fully capable of achieving

English
A fully qualified teacher (QTS) and have spent the last decade teaching and leading internationally, including working as an English Principal in Shanghai and mentoring new teachers.
My approach to tutoring is relaxed but highly structured. Because I've taught such a wide range of ages and abilities, I don't use a 'one-size-fits-all' method. Instead, we will figure out exactly how you learn best. For example, breaking down tricky essay structures, working through past papers, or just focusing on building your confidence, the sessions are completely built around your personal goals.
A standard lesson usually lasts an hour. I like to split this time into a quick recap of what we covered last week, tackling a new concept together, and then doing some guided practice to make sure it has actually sunk in.
I have taught KS3 to KS5 Humanities and Psychology, as well as English, IELTS, and academic writing for international students. I also have hands-on experience supporting learners with specific educational needs and EHCP outcomes. Drop me a message and we can chat about what you are looking to achieve!
