Ruby: McKinney tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a student at Barnard College, Columbia University studying Intellectual History and Art History. I have extensive experience (5+ years) tutoring all ages with educational companies such as Brooklyn Youth Sports Club and the National Summer School Institute. I specialize in English, Grammar, Reading Comprehension, Writing, and Editing.

In my sessions I look to cultivate a balance between establishing a good rapport with my students while committing to doing hard work together. Finding this equilibrium is important for getting a gage early on as to what method(s) of learning will work best for the student. Considering we are amidst a pandemic and students' normal study habits may be compromised, I strive to be sensitive to each student's situation and accommodate accordingly.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, and listening to music.
