Ruth Victorine Perfil del(de la) tutor/a
Hello!
I'm Ruth (ルース) from Liverpool, England. Nice to meet you.
I've been away for so long, but am finally back teaching on Cafetalk and ready to meet you!
Where have I been?
Well, after getting a job in the UK in content writing, I was lucky and was promoted to an editor role. Then, I was lucky again and got a job in an international company as a bid/proposal writer. And in April 2024, I moved to the United States (where my husband is from).
It has been a fun few years, but I have missed teaching.
I found a passion for teaching English when I lived in Japan. I've now taught a variety of ages and all levels in many different situations. Experience
In 2010, I achieved a bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature and Irish Studies.
A year later, I spent four weeks volunteering as a teacher in Kenya. I taught all ages, but mainly school children.

I gained a master’s degree in Creative Writing a couple of years later.
In March 2015, I fulfilled my dream and moved to Japan to work for an English teaching company. I lived in Toyama. There, I taught English in three elementary schools and two junior high schools.
After school, and at weekends, I taught adults. I left Japan in July 2017, but I have great memories!

I have taught in one-on-one situations, group situations, classrooms, a laboratory, homes and restaurants. I have taught all ages and a rainbow of personalities!
Teaching Style
I take a friendly approach to teaching and prefer to listen to my students' needs. Even the best teachers can improve, so all feedback is welcome. It keeps me being the best teacher I can be, and helps me teach you as you like.About Me
I am lucky because I have visited many different countries. I find different cultures really interesting. Working with Japanese teachers has given me great respect and understanding for Japanese culture.

My hobbies include walking in the countryside, drinking tea, spending time with friends, reading and writing. If you like to write, I would love to read your work!
The English language is fascinating to me. I hope I can help you feel the same!
