Raquel: Crestwood tutor

Certified Tutor

I am both passionate about the subjects I tutor, and about becoming the most effective and receptive educator I can possibly be. I have always excelled in areas such as English and writing, and, through my rigorous undergraduate career, I was able to recognize my full potential as a reader and writer, as a student and educator. I will soon be entering an English PhD program, primarily focusing on Disability Studies and Speculative Fiction, because I hope to explore that full potential. In addition to working on a PhD dissertation, I will be educating college students on course material that I am passionate about. Through tutoring, I hope that I can help students recognize and reach their full potential, even in difficult subject areas.

I know that students are facing unprecedented challenges at the moment, with adjustments to online learning being at the forefront of many students' concerns. As a tutor, I hope to give students the additional support and guidance they need to learn and thrive through our current circumstances. I believe that education should be an enriching and inspiring process, not an additional burden.

It is my hope that students will feel comfortable connecting with me one-on-one, free from pressure to downplay their struggles. I will work to meet each student at their level, and to be attentive to their individual needs.
