Rachel: Minnesota tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a current student at Northern Arizona University and I am studying Elementary Education with an emphasis in K-6 Math, Middle School Math, History/Social Studies, and Humanities.

Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher and I have used that passion and drive to learn the most I can about being a successful, kind, and supportive teacher/tutor. I have cherished my extensive time as a teacher's aid in the classroom, and along the way have developed my own teaching style. I believe that it's a teacher's job to help a student to enjoy what they are learning, so inquiry is a big part of my teaching style. I love to get my students engaged and intrigued by the subject they are working on. That way, the topics they are working through can be approached at a fun and exciting angle.

Although I have a fondness for all subjects of learning, I have a true passion for mathematics. My previous major as a Secondary Education Mathematics student lead me to realize how much I love the thrill of solving a math problem. That is something I am so excited to share with my students! I am also passionate about organization and helping a student figure out the best way for them to learn/stay organized and efficient!

Along with my love for math, I love to read, paint, and hike.
