Experienced English Language Teacher with a demonstrated history of working in the Education Management Industry. Skilled in Linguistics, English as an Additional Language, IGCSE English, and Piano Tuition. Strong education professional with a Master’s Degree focused in English Language and Linguistics from The University of Manchester, a Bachelor’s in English Language and Literature, a CELTA certificate, and Grade 8 Piano with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.For the past 12 years, following a few years' career break to care for her young family, Ruth has offered piano tuition, prepared pupils for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music examinations and enabled students to perform in a local Musical Festival, where all of the students who entered came away with trophies or awards. She teaches lessons one-to-one, usually from her music room, but occasionally from the pupil's home. (A parent or guardian is always asked to accompany the pupil). Ruth has a friendly approach and encourages the pupils to perform in small concerts at her home to gain confidence, which may be called upon at a later date, whether on the stage at a festival or school event, or simply to gain confidence performing in performing in public, which may be called upon in any later walk of life. When not teaching piano, Ruth is busy using her language, literary, linguistic, musical-and lifesaving -skills in home-schooling 2 of her children. She also volunteers at a local youth group. In her limited leisure time, she can be found reading a book, walking in the Lakes or locally in the Whitehaven area, catching up with her extended family -usually via WhatsApp, watching a good murder mystery with her older daughters, or simply enjoying a picnic with her family. With her qualifications in lifesaving, she also enjoys swimming.Please pm /email me if you are interested in your child having private piano lessons in the Whitehaven area and I will get back to you with further details. Thank you. Ruth M
