What Makes Me Tick? ✓
When I was a teaching assistant, I was always amazed by the imagination kids bring to their writing.
Unfortunately, with creativity often overlooked in the curriculum, one in three children aren't gaining the writing skills they need for secondary school and beyond*. 😱
That's where I step in! With my English degree and a passion for storytelling, I'm here to help children become confident and skilled writers — all while having lots of fun!

"Ryan has been a brilliant tutor for my 11 year old son. His lessons are fun and very interactive.
Before working with Ryan, he didn't like writing and couldn't express his thoughts on paper well.
Now he enjoys writing stories and I enjoy reading them. Thank you Ryan!"
