Ruth truly strives to get to know your child before she begins meeting with them and then tailors the time spent to what your child needs. In only a few sessions our daughter grew in confidence and her skill set and thoroughly enjoyed her time with Ruth. Ruth has a unique ability to connect with her students and we are very thankful that she is someone our child looks forward to being tutored by.
