Strong number sense — understanding why borrowing works in subtraction, or what a fraction actually represents — makes every future math class easier. Ruby teaches elementary math by grounding each concept in hands-on reasoning before moving to procedures, so students build real comprehension instead of just following steps. Her patience and wide-ranging teaching experience make her a natural fit for younger learners.

I am currently working towards a doctorate in medicine from New Jersey Medical School. Throughout high school, college, and graduate school, I have tutored students ranging in age from elementary school to college freshmen in a variety of subjects particularly math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is math because it is very methodical and visual. Having a passion to help others, I am drawn to tutoring for the opportunity to share my knowledge with others. My family and friends have described me as being patient, compassionate, and personableall of the qualities that I believe I bring to my students. Outside of tutoring, I like Notre Dame football, dogs (especially my family's German Shepherd!), yoga, cooking, and reading.
