About Ruqayyah
I’m a warm, approachable tutor who believes languages are more than just tools for exams — they’re a way to connect, express, and share ourselves with others.
I grew up bilingual in Liverpool with an Urdu-speaking mother, and later discovered a passion for languages that led me to study French, Spanish, and Italian at the University of Liverpool and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Along the way, I’ve worked as a journalist in Spain, and today I also work as a voiceover artist, translator, movement teacher, and writer.
With over 10 years of teaching experience, I’ve helped students of all ages and abilities — from absolute beginners to advanced exam candidates; I especially enjoy supporting neurodivergent learners and those who want to find joy and confidence in speaking.
As a lifelong language learner myself (currently exploring Japanese and Russian), I know firsthand how challenging the journey can feel — but also how fun, rewarding, and life-changing it can be with the right guidance.

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
- Tailored to you; GCSE, A Level, DELE, or conversation for work/travel
- Phonetics expert; master tricky sounds and build a natural accent

- Flexible format; online or in-person (Bethnal Green / Central London), 45–60 mins
- Free first chat to discuss your goals and make a plan!
It doesn't matter your age, ability, nor why you're learning. Whether you're looking to pass a DELE or DELF exam, a GCSE, an A Level or simply brush up on your skills for work or leisure, I have a flexible schedule and can structure your lessons around your schedule, too.
I specialise in phonetics so, if you're struggling to roll your 'r' in French or Spanish or can't get a handle on your 'gn' or 'gl' sounds in Italian, I can get your accent up to speed so you can communicate effectively.
I used fast, tried, and tested tricks to help you get your head around complex grammar concepts, and can help you break down intimidating vocabulary lists into bite-size chunks – so when it goes in, it stays in.
For the sake of learning efficacy and your attention span, lessons are usually 45 minutes to one hour in length but I'm flexible!

I took Spanish lessons with Ruqayyah and she really improved my confidence with speaking and grammar. Ruqayyah really helped me to become self sufficient in my Spanish practice, offering helpful and manageable drills to continue learning outside of class. On a recent trip to Mexico I really noticed the impact of our classes and I would wholeheartedly recommend Ruqayyah to anyone looking to learn a new language. She is kind, personable and committed to her students and has the lived experience of learning (multiple!) languages herself. Muchos gracias por todo!
Ruqayyah taught my son Spanish for almost two years, and we were very happy with her lessons. She is dedicated, sincere, and clearly passionate about teaching. She always made the lessons engaging, and her warm and approachable attitude helped my son feel comfortable and motivated to learn. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and effective tutor.
Ruqayyah is a brilliant teacher who taught me Spanish - she explains concepts very clearly and makes learning fun. She is very patient and motivating and is great at helping one achieve one’s potential.
Ruqayyah was a delightful teacher and always came to the lessons with lots of energy. She taught very effectively and really focussed on the details. She was not afraid to push me as she wanted me to strive for perfection. As a very busy woman I also appreciated her flexibility in schedule and she was always patient with me.
Ruqayyah is an amazing teacher! If you're looking for a kind, patient and understanding person to help you learn something new, look no further! Ruqayyah is multilingual and their overall knowledge of other cultures is impressive. I felt at ease and comfortable during my sessions, it was an overall stress free and fun learning environment! Thank you Ruqayyah for everything you've taught me!
Ruqayyah is an excellent tutor. She was really patient when I was learning, and I'm still suprised at how much I retained! Her linguistic knowledge was really helpful as well as it helped me to understand the origins of certain words and phrases. She made me feel super comfortable which was really important to me. Highly recommend!
