Bio

I have a Bachelor's of Science in Biomedical Sciences from a British University called the University of Reading where I studied for three years, taking my fourth year to work in an industrial setting in the biotechnology sector, engaging with cellular biology and optical engineering. Currently, I am completing a Master's in Precision Medicine at University College London.

I have a Bachelor's of Science in Biomedical Sciences from a British University called the University of Reading where I studied for three years, taking my fourth year to work in an industrial setting in the biotechnology sector, engaging with cellular biology and optical engineering. Currently, I am completing a Master's in Precision Medicine at University College London. I greatly enjoy my area of study and I would love to share my enthusiasm for science with students pursuing or interested in a similar path. My teaching experience includes working with high school age students as a teacher's assistant in Biology as well as training interns in laboratory protocol, but I have also volunteered abroad, teaching English in underprivileged communities. I have found these experiences to be very rewarding and I look forward to working with students interested in the subject matter I am most passionate about, not only helping them to successfully engage with the material, but to truly enjoy the process.

My degree has introduced me to a variety of biological disciplines including, but not limited to, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, computational biology, and biochemistry. This is compounded by work experience in which I interned as an associate scientist at a bioengineering start up. I intend to use this repertoire to exemplify the real world applications of learning materials and to make the subject matter more tangible. I know everyone learns in a different way, and it is my goal to work with my students to create the best possible environment for them to succeed.

Feel free to contact me anytime, and I will get back to you as quickly as possible; I am most accessible via email. I am more than happy to set up a free consultation to look over the material you would like to work with to ensure you feel I can provide guidance that will benefit you.

Test Preparation

MCAT

MCAT

I spent nearly 9 months in preparation for the MCAT, becoming familiar with multiple different resources and approaches while also working as a biology tutor myself. Additionally, I have taken college courses encompassing all the material seen on the MCAT (physics, organic/biochemical/general chemistry, biology, psychology, and sociology), and I am particularly strong concerning biological concepts, holding a BSc in Biomedical Sciences. My MCAT score reflects this experience and the success of my approach to studying, with a 523 overall and 130, 131, 130, and 132 in the chemistry/physics, CARS, biology/biochemistry, and psychology/sociology sections, respectively.

Extremely prepared and patient

Incredible MCAT Chem/Physics section tutor. Methodical, understanding and undeniably kind. Ruby goes above and beyond by asking relevant and thought provoking questions rather than just lecturing.

amazing tutor

She is incredibly kind, patient, and takes the time to make sure all your questions are answered! She was even able to help me create a practical study plan which I always struggle with doing on my own.

Ugo, 1 lesson with Ruby

Life saver!

She was patient and worked effectively to teach key concepts. Learned more in the first session than the whole school year so far! Our time was super beneficial. We reached out during a highly critical time and she came to the rescue and was a complete game changer. Each session she had clearkyy defined objectives and took the time needed to convey the information effectively. Highly recommend!!
