About Ridhi

Imagine turning every conversation, performance, and exam into a confident success story — that’s where our work begins!

As an enthusiastic educator, published poet, and lifelong learner, I am passionate about inspiring individuals and helping them unlock their full potential — whether it’s by supporting students through academic challenges, coaching the art of communication, or empowering professionals to advance in their careers.

Since 2018, I have worked as a Private Tutor and Coach and hold a First-Class Honours BA in English & Drama from the University of Exeter and a PGCE in Secondary English from King’s College London. My teaching journey spans public and private schools across three continents, enriching my approach with a broad, culturally informed perspective. Across the various subjects I teach, I tailor my methods to engage learners of all ages and abilities, ensuring accessibility and meaningful progress for everyone.

Most recently, I worked as a Learning Facilitator at The Natural History Museum in London (2023-2025), where I delivered and developed a broad range of engaging educational programs, workshops, and shows tailored to diverse audiences. I also led the Community Outreach and Youth programs, creating accessible, hands-on learning experiences that inspired visitors and families to become advocates for our planet.

Learning to me means more than passing exams or reaching your targets; it’s about transforming how you communicate, connect, and carry yourself in every aspect of life. If you’re ready to invest fully in your growth, I’m here to guide, challenge, and celebrate your journey every step of the way!

About the lesson

With qualifications including an enhanced DBS Certificate, QTS, PGCE, and a First-Class Honours in BA English and Drama, coupled with a passion for empowering individuals to find their voice, I bring a unique blend of expertise, warmth, and professionalism to every lesson! Beyond my credentials and experience, what truly sets me apart is my innate ability to foster a supportive and uplifting environment that balances discipline with creativity and encourages lively debate. I believe in the transformative power of education and am committed to igniting a lifelong love for learning in all my students! Public Speaking is a skill that is required in every situation, field and career. Whether you are having difficulties in a professional or social setting, or just want to develop/better your conversational and or confidence skills, I can help you out! I use a range of methods, backed by social science, psychology and Drama, to help tailor the lesson to your specific needs and goals. The lesson structure typically involves working on our three systems: the body, mind and voice. We can work on either of the three systems only if you have a particular focus in mind, but I mostly combine two or all of them as they are intrinsically connected and contribute to an overall and holistic success. Body work could involve things like: body language exploration, health and lifestyle, physical workshopping. Mind work could include things like: motivation, confidence building, manifesting and projecting a good self-image, dealing with nerves/stress, positive thinking. Voice work could include things like: public speaking skills, breath-work, pacing, tone, accent reduction. I work with all ages and levels, although I specialise in teaching KS1-4 and have a background in the education and health sector, with coaching and pastoral experience.

Perfect! Ridhi was tasked with working with my intelligent and capable boys who tended to be awkward in public and with strangers.

Ridhi did an amazing job over several months, using various exercises and activities to make them more comfortable in these situations. This culminated in the boys talking to strangers outside.

She did a brilliant job and we are forever grateful. Thanks Ridhi!

Perfect! We had the pleasure of working with Ridhi Kotecha to deliver in-depth training sessions to members of our office team, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

Ridhi brought a wealth of knowledge, professionalism, and clarity to every session. Her ability to adapt her teaching style to suit different learning levels meant that each team member felt supported and empowered. The training she delivered was not only informative but also highly engaging, and it has made a real difference in helping our team transition into more developed and advanced roles within the company.

Thanks to Ridhi’s support, our staff are now more confident, capable, and better equipped to take on new challenges. We would highly recommend her to any business or individual looking to invest in professional development. She’s a fantastic tutor and a true asset.

Ridhi's response
Jonas is calm, intelligent and hard-working. Within our first lesson, I found out how much he does outside of school at the young age of 9, which I was super impressed by! A keen reader and dedicated musician, Jonas is a talented young boy! I very much look forward to our LAMDA Public Speaking lessons together and have the utmost faith that he will succeed in his exam!

We have had the pleasure of having Ridhi support both of my children with their English GCSEs. She has worked with my daughter, who has additional learning needs, and with my son as he prepares for his exams. I couldn’t be more grateful for the impact Ridhi has had on their progress.
Ridhi provides clear guidance and helps them build a practical understanding of the subject. Thanks to her support, both of my children have developed a much greater level of confidence in English, and it has truly shown in their work.

I worked closely with Ridhi while she volunteered as an academic coach with CoachBright. Ridhi was always super prepared for her 1-1 sessions with her coachee and put in a great deal of effort throughout! Always kind, patient and great at providing helpful guidance/advice. We thought she did a wonderful job at CoachBright and therefore I am more than happy to recommend her as a tutor/coach! :)
