About Ruth
With a passion and flair for drama, music and movement, Ruth Silver loves to help children gain confidence in children through drama and the creative arts. Ruth is highly skilled with a BA Hons degree in Drama, Applied Theatre and Education from The Royal Central School of Speech & Drama and her and has over 15 years of experience working in the performing arts and education. She works in schools during the week and runs her own private parent-present classes for large groups of pre-schoolers and one-to-one sessions at people's houses for 4-11 year olds. Together with her professional team, she also offers birthday party entertainment. Ruth is passionate about igniting children's imaginations so they shine with their own individual spark and buckets of confidence!
Ruth always spends 15–30 minutes speaking with parents for free before starting sessions, just to understand your child’s background and needs. My initial session fee is £75, which includes a detailed report about your child and how I would support them going forward. Future sessions are £50. I should also mention that my Superprof listing is very rarely used — I keep it live purely so that local families can find me if needed, but I don’t advertise through their premium service. Because of this, Superprof automatically displays a “free lesson” badge, which can be misleading, and
I’m sorry for any confusion caused. At the moment I’m working every weekend with children preparing for their 4+ and 7+ assessments, as well as supporting children with social and emotional needs through Camden Children’s Centres and Hertfordshire Council. As you found me through Superprof, I’m very happy to include the £25 report within your first session as a gesture of goodwill.

My daughter grew in confidence since attending Ruth’s classes and loved all the activities. Ruth uses music, props and well thought out exercises in her drama lessons
I worked with Ruth as an assistant in her drama groups for children and could see how beautifully their confidence grew in as little as one class.
Many children, who were very small during the pandemic and had little experience with communication skills, opened up and started to play with other kids, mainly due to Ruth's guidance, patience, playfulness, and enthusiasm.
Ruth is a real professional who has an amazing approach to children and adults, and whoever gets to work with her is very lucky!I can’t recommend Ruth enough as a drama, speech and acting teacher. My son was delayed in his speech and Ruth really helped with his articulation, vocabulary, expression and confidence. And he absolutely adored his sessions with her. She has a magical way of bringing out even the shyest child out of their shell and getting them comfortable with using words and speaking to others. It is one big fun play time but immensely helpful in terms of social and speech development! She is warm, caring, kind and loads of fun but at the same time very observant of the child’s unique needs and very experienced at what she does. Ruth’s weekly sessions were a highlight!
My children loved their drama sessions with Ruth! My little one blossomed in confidence and enjoyed crafting stories, whilst my older one became more focused and less shy. Ruth was amazing at tailoring the sessions to their needs and incorporated many clever ideas to help them find their unique voices. One of my favourite recollections is my daughter smiling and proclaiming, "I am a queen! I am brave!"
