"Hi, I’m Rachel—a passionate and patient tutor with a strong background in middle school math and science. I hold a master’s degree in Gifted Education and a bachelor’s degree in Education, with certifications in both middle grades math and science. For over six years, I’ve taught in a classroom setting, working full-time as a middle school math and science teacher. Before that, I spent four years employed at a tutoring center, supporting K–12 students one-on-one and in small groups throughout college.

My teaching and tutoring experience spans a wide range of learners—from students with IEPs and learning differences to those seeking challenge and enrichment. I use a flexible, student-centered approach that blends clear instruction with active, hands-on learning strategies like guided inquiry, visuals, and scaffolded problem-solving. Whether I’m helping a student build foundational skills, catch up on missed concepts, or push beyond grade level, I tailor each session to meet their unique needs and learning style.

I’m committed to creating a supportive, engaging environment where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. You can count on me to be prepared, encouraging, and fully invested in helping each learner succeed—not just academically, but with confidence and curiosity too." less...
