“Great value for money […] and Ruth was amazing with the children. They were all engaged and learnt so many new skills… If only we could have these workshops every week!”

Mrs. Mason, Teacher, St. Thomas the Martyr Primary School

I developed Dig Deep Learning in response to a career that began in design studios and architects’ offices, then moved on to ten years spent in galleries, museums and educational settings. My roles involved devising creative activities and learning resources to encourage engagement and understanding.

Everything I do is carefully researched and approached with the aim of tapping into young people’s innate curiosity and supporting curriculum learning, all while offering children uncommon opportunities to explore their skills, talents and ways of understanding the world.

I’m lucky to have met some incredible industry professionals across my career so far, and I’ve worked closely with these educators, architects and engineers, alongside archaeologists, designers and artists, to create the sessions offered by Dig Deep Learning, all with the aim of::

• supporting curriculum learning through focused study, informed by expert knowledge and bespoke resources

• approaching learning through doing by encouraging - sometimes messy, always creative - hands-on engagement.

• discovering individuals’ untapped abilities and strengths, while developing social skills and self-esteem

• introducing a variety of disciplines and careers to children and young people, with the view of making them real and fostering aspiration

• building cultural capital by offering uncommon experiences that develop participants’ understanding of themselves and the world

I have Undergraduate Degrees in Fine Art and English Literature, with Postgraduate Qualifications in Art History and Multimedia Design. I also have training in Supporting Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Teaching Support. I have comprehensive Public Liability Insurance, an Enhanced DBS and Safe Guarding training.
