I am an independent trainer in the workplace, teaching individuals as well as small-medium-large employee groups. My work covers a broad range of essential subjects for employee success: verbal and written communication, public speaking, leadership development, coaching, plus Microsoft and Google software apps.

As an educator, I know that each student is unique and therefore the teaching approach needs to match that individual. Whether I am working with employees, high school students or adu...

Ms. Ruth was great. She was especially patient, kind & very knowledgeable. She explained everything in terms I could actually understand & was able to personalize my session to understanding how Outlook could help me be successful in my specific career. I certainly felt much more confident with my abilities using Outlook after our session. So much so that I called to see if she could possibly as well help me gain a better understanding of Excel down the line as well. Ms. Ruth was great & we?ll certainly work together again!!

I enjoyed her not just as a tutor but as a person. Not being computer savvy at all, she made everything crystal clear and easy to follow. She was able to make me understand what I needed to do to achieve my goal...now I just need to go over the material she gave me. She gave me options to look into. I look forward to our next session.

Working with group presentations. Tuned right into my issues. Makes the work enjoyable. Understanding. Look forward to the sessions. Thanks Knowledgeable. Good people skills.
- Janet P. from Palm Beach, FL
On the first tutoring session she taught me the formula checking commands Trac Precedents and Trace Dependents, Which, in my case is crucial to some of my issues. I look for to having her show me more commands that I know I am missing to make me more proficient in Excell.

Ruth was patient and very clear in her explanations of these features. I felt comfortable asking questions even when I didn't know the answers. I look forward to learning more in future sessions with her.

Ruth was a true professional and could transition easily between working with my son and working with me. I really learned a lot and look forward to my next class with her.
- Nicole C. from Chagrin Falls, OH
Ruth is awesome! I was nervous, I have very limited computer skills and was starting a new job. Ruth is giving me the confidence and knowledge necessary to keep up with my new position. She baby steps you in to what you need to learn. Very knowledgeable and a true ?teacher and coach? - some people are very knowledgeable with Microsoft and other programs and applications, but Ruth really knows how to teach it! I highly recommend Ruth!

I was looking for a tutor that could specifically teach me all the "ins and outs" of Styles in Word as well as someone that could help me customize templates within Word for my company's needs. Ruth went above and beyond. Not only did she help me with the Styles questions and issues I was having before I hired her (that I had watched countless videos on the internet trying to figure out with no real solution), but she was able to help me tackle other Word issues I would come across between our classes. There wasn't anything that she did not have a solution for. I will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Ruth again for any other Word/PowerPoint or Excel needs!
- Becky B. from Denver, CO
Ruth is a great public speaking coach! She is very kind and patient. She made me more confident and comfortable public speaking in a classroom setting. We practiced my presentation many times together, and I did not feel anxious or nervous when it was time to do the real thing. I'm looking forward to working with her again in the future!
- Sheila P. from Miami, FL
Knowledgeable and willingness to help at my level and my needs. would like to continue with my challenges in the current application we reviewed and other Microsoft applications.
- Aida S. from Miami, FL
Ruth is very helpful. She is able to teach me how to utilize the computer effortlessly. She shares information about items on the ribbon and allows me to practice. Ruth also helps me with any questions or computer projects that I have. I believe that I will soon be able to reinter the workforce thanks to her assistance. I highly recommend Ruth.

Ruth worked with me on MS Outlook to set-up different tasks. I found the Zoom program more effective than Wyzant's learning platform. I would not hesitate to utilize Ruth's mentoring services to learn any Microsoft software application. Mark K., Ph.D.

Ruth is an outstanding tutor. She was able to help me work comfortably in a complex Microsoft word document. I?m looking forward to my next learning session with Ruth.
- Michele G. from Chicago, IL
I didn?t know that much about Excel and I was very nervous about an interview. She made me feel more comfortable and she was also available to help me on a Sunday afternoon on a short notice!
- Serena L. from Chicago, IL
Ruth provided me with the opportunity to pick the topics I thought would be most useful. She covered various formatting functions with me that I will be able to implement immediately.
- Renee S. from Deerfield, IL
Ruth gets results! I was struggling with the presentation demands and major anxiety 4 months into my new role and reached out to Ruth here in a panic. Our work together has already yielded results and I?m looking forward to more sessions, a boost in my confidence and mastering my new role!
- Pramila D. from Chicago, IL
Ruth is a great tutor. She was very helpful getting me acquainted with some of the software I will be using in my new job. She listened well to my concerns and is very positive and encouraging.
- Irv G. from Chicago, IL
The short time spent with Ruth gave me the tools to get through my first presentation. I received many compliments. However, I know I need more training. Thanks Ruth.
