About Ria
I am a caring, dynamic, and hard working individual with the love and determination to teach. Not only is teaching a way for students to increase their confidence and knowledge, it's a way to form great communication skills and help personal development. I enjoy challenges and interaction with different kinds of people, and I am always ready to take on something new and exciting.
I am born and brought up in the United States of America. At the age of 16 I chose to spend two years studying in Mumbai, India to expose myself to a variety of people with a fascinating culture. Having lived in three countries, I am used to communicating and understanding a wide range of people, and have understood not only the importance of warmth and compassion but of work ethic as well.
I am a recipient of the Desmond Tutu Full Scholarship at King’s College London.
With my wide variety of experiences and people, one thing that has stayed the same is my love for teaching. I feel teaching is an amazing way to give and form strong communication skills. I am dedicated to being a warm, passionate, and learned tutor! Besides studying at Kings College London, I play football, dance, and spend my time volunteering for underprivileged children in developing countries. I enjoy a good laugh and having been inspired by teachers in the past, I am aware of the important role they play in the lives of children.
I have training and experience with the 11+ exams.

Following some personal struggles I had to postpone my final exams for my first year of university. Feeling unprepared I decided to get in contact with Ria in order to help me study for my exams and complete my coursework essays. In the span of two months, Ria taught me six months worth of work. She helped me develop a system of revision and essay writing which worked for me, that I continue to use today. She has an extensive knowledge of literature and had no trouble answering any of my questions. She was dedicated to helping me pass my exams and write successful essays. In my years of schooling I can honestly say no other teacher has been as helpful, considerate, supportive, and encouraging. Before we parted for the holidays Ria presented me with a folder of organised notes to study from as well as practice questions to work on AND a note of encouragement for when I felt at a loss. I entered my exams feeling fully prepared for the first time and handed in my essays with confidence.
Ria has kindly agreed to direct a piece of drama that involves teenagers and adults. She has demonstrated great care in all aspects of execution of our piece. Ria adapted the script to suit a London audience. She produced a detailed schedule for all planned rehearsals. Time was spent in coordinating actors to attend rehearsal sessions. Conference calls were attended to decide on the best way forward for the drama. Liaisons were made with the technical team in India to create voice overs for the actors to suit the local audience.
Being a teacher myself I understand the value of preparing for a lesson and in our first rehearsal it was clear Ria had thought through the session and what she hoped to achieve. The session began with a warm up activity with the actors and Ria grasped from this that the teenagers were a lot more reserved than the adults. Her encouragement and interaction with all the actors was amazing. She could connect with all of them.
Where there was a reluctant actress, Ria handled the situation with sensitivity and did not embarrass or force the student.
Her own drama skills are impressive. She performs with flair, being able to easily demonstrate the different personalities required for our piece of Drama.
Ria is a delight to work with. She is clearly passionate about drama and directing. Her teaching, acting and directing skills are excellent and if this her state as a student, the future is very bright for her!I was introduced to Ria by a friend who had highly recommended her. I had received feedback from my tutors at university that my work lacked depth, critique and structure. Ria provided me with the necessary tools to help develop my writing skills and ensure my style was in line with my university's expectations.
Her method of teaching was commendable. She is calm, clear in her explanation and always approachable.View more recommendations
