About Ruth


Bio

I have been tutoring students since college and teaching undergraduate and grad students for over 30 years. I really enjoy one-on-one tutoring students, as you can make a real connection with an individual student and help them be successful in the goal they are trying to attain. I am the mom of 19 year old twins and I see how some of their friends struggled with fairly basic science classes in high school and college.

I have been tutoring students since college and teaching undergraduate and grad students for over 30 years. I really enjoy one-on-one tutoring students, as you can make a real connection with an individual student and help them be successful in the goal they are trying to attain. I am the mom of 19 year old twins and I see how some of their friends struggled with fairly basic science classes in high school and college. I am fortunate that my daughters are straight 'A' students so far but they have worked at obtaining those grades.

I have stressed to my daughters the importance of having a study plan for each course they have. This consists of more than 'just studying.' I look forward to the challenge of working with students to develop their own successful study plan, especially when many of my adult students are trying to juggle work, school and their family life!

Sometimes I feel a student can get 'swallowed up' in a classroom setting. A student may not grasp a certain basic concept and before you know it the student is struggling just to stay afloat in the class. I once had a medical school professor tell me that 'you are trying to drink the material through a straw but we are delivering it to you be a firehose!' Does that sound about right?? A great tutor can come in and really be the student's 'life-line' - assist them in 'catching up'; provide tips on how to stay current; and finally to excel in their subject matter! I would love to be your lifeline!!

I am both a registered nurse and a podiatrist and I love incorporating my clinical background into the basic sciences such as Anatomy and Physiology. Many times students feel that A&P can be so dry and 'boring.' I try to bring real life scenarios into the context so students see the relevance of learning this material. I also teach RN-NCLEX review classes for a major corporation so I am well versed in nursing curriculum as well as Pharmacology and Advanced Health Assessment. I am one of the few tutors that will work with you to improve/increase your HESI

Pharmacology

I have taught pharmacology at three various universities in their nursing curriculum numerous times. I teach a pharmacology section every time I teach the RN-NCLEX review class to nursing students. I had pharmacology classes in both my undergraduate curriculum as a RN as well as a graduate level pharmacology class in my doctoral studies.

Wonderful Educator!

I just had my first session with Ruth and was blown away at how clearly she managed to explain major topics that left my head spinning when my school professor sped thorough and attempted to teach. She presents material in a very interesting, methodical and organized manner. She also cleared up questions that better helped me build my base of crucial foundational knowledge. I have several more sessions booked with Ruth and went from feeling drained and defeated to incredibly motivated and hopeful that she can help me improve my grade in the remaining weeks of the semester. Great teacher and highly knowledgeable! I highly recommend!

Christina, I am happy to hear that you have had such a positive experience with our tutoring sessions. I look forward to working with you for a successful conclusion in your current nursing course!!

Excellent tutor for med term!

My daughter really enjoyed working with Ruth. She gave her thorough explanations of the terms and my daughter came away with a good understanding of them. Highly recommend!

My daughter felt totally comfortable and confident after her lesson

My daughter has been struggling with anatomy and physiology this year. She has her test today. After working with Ruth she felt confident. My daughter at first didn’t want tutoring and after her session she felt much more positive about tutoring.

Ruth is a perfect match for me.

Pharmacology session- Ruth was patient, non-judgemental, kind, and I felt safe admitting the things I should know but do not know. Excellent first session to prepare for the final exam!

Great teacher

Ruth is wonderful! She is very easy to understand and very thorough. I was very happy she sent me extra work to do when not doing a study session.n This way we could go over the racial of why the answer were correct or wrong.

excellent teacher

Signing up for more, I am waiting to take the Hesi 2 in the early part of December, and I think I found my teacher...Ruth has been great, and we'll do more together too. She keeps it moving and keeps me focused. What could be better than that?

Love her for Pharmacology, great teacher, Made everything so clear! I need HER!!! She makes everything much clearer to understand. Pharmacology, is not an easy subject so I do not want to lose her as a tutor.
