I have experience tutoring elementary math, elementary writing, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, SAT test preparation, college algebra, and college statistics.

Hi, my name is Ruby and I am in my late 20's. I have been tutoring in person since March 2013 and I have been tutoring online since February 2014. I have experience tutoring elementary math, elementary writing, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, SAT test preparation, college algebra, and college statistics. I also teach English as a foreign/second language online through a school. I have worked with students who were not motivated to learn to those who were. I understand sometimes students are not motivated or feel discouraged. I try to make the experience as fun and stress free as possible. I try to engage the students during tutoring sessions, not just give answers, but help them understand the steps to get to the answers.

I have a degree in Psychology from University of California, San Diego. I was an honor student in college and high school. I was in the top 10% of my high school graduating class. I attended AP and honors classes, and I was always praised for being a hard working student as far back as elementary school. I was not always good at English, but with work and determination, I improved. I was required to take a remedial writing class during my first quarter at UCSD, and I was given three chances to pass the class and the exam or else I would have had to leave the school. Luckily for me, after all the hard work, I was able to pass both the class and the exam after only the first quarter. Although I did well in school, there were times where I struggled, which is why I am patient and can sympathize with students looking for some help.

I was first introduced to tutoring during my senior year of high school. I had one free class period twice a week which I spent helping my former chemistry teacher as a teacher aid. I assisted with grading and answering students' questions. This was not a paid tutoring job but this was when I realized that I like to tutor.

I can help students cope with testing anxiety since I had to deal with it myself. I felt a lot of anxiety during English comprehension and writi

Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I received A's on tests and quizzes in Pre Algebra. Pre Algebra is useful in the real world, which young students may not realize yet. I try to use real life examples that pertain to their lives to help them understand the material.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I have a BA in Psychology that has given me tools to help students organize and learn material. I have tutored students with ADHD and have learned what has worked for them and have been able to apply these tips and techniques to other students. I go over note taking, stress management, time management, organizational skills, study environment and learning styles with the students who want help with their study skills. Throughout college, I was able to avoid studying all night for a test because I had great organizational and study skills.

Ruby is Awesome! She is extremely patient and friendly. Math is an extremely difficult subject for me but thankfully with her help I am confident that I will have an A in my college algebra class.

Very Professional and Patient

Ruby was excellent with conversing and assisting my daughter. Although my daughter was slightly hesitant meeting someone new, Ruby was able to make her feel at ease. Ruby allowed my daughter to lead the session by giving feedback on what she was working on. As well, Ruby's schedule was flexible enough to accommodate our schedules. I'll continue to utilize her tutoring services. I highly recommend this tutor.

Great tutor.

Ruby T. from Wyants tutoring is the best. She is a wonderful tutor in math and starts where you need her to start. She has given my daughter the tools needed to succeed. She has a way of explaining things that seem so simple. I would highly recommend her.
