...grades and find their own way of tackling the subject. I'd like to share my learning tips I got when I was a student. Besides statistics, I am also interested in tutoring algebra and calculus. I like to encourage students to ask questions to ensure they completely understand the content and could apply to new problems. The sudden moment when the students understand something they've been struggling with is the truly rewarding to me. Outside...

...sessions, or with a small group. Teaching others is a great way to expand understanding of how other students think and develop ideas, and it allows myself to see new ways to look at problems. While I'm not studying (or helping my friends study), I love to play music (piano, flute, guitar), take a walk through the forest preserve, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with friends, etc. I look forward to contributing to students' learning endeavors!

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.

...in only a few weeks. After graduating magna cum laude from The Ohio State University with a BA in Japanese and Linguistics, I spent time in Korea and Japan. For the majority, I taught in English immersion programs, teaching everything from phonics and essay writing to science and math. I had students of all levels: younger students who were still learning to read, write, and tie their shoes, older students attempting to enter international or...

I like literature and performing arts most in life. I tend to incorporate both into classes to blend into textbook work. If you're looking for a more creative approach to language, that's what I provide. I have plenty of books and media that I've used myself to further my own studies....

...and understanding. The two go hand in hand. Only by understanding something can we engage it critically, and only by thinking critically can we truly understand something. My goal as an instructor is help my students gain these skills. I don't want to just bark, "This is correct. End of discussion." I want my students to know why they need to do things in certain ways. However, no one person learns the same way as...

...to Japan where I studied Japanese, traditional music, and Wartime film. I offered my academic services both in high school and college, often to my peers, primarily in writing and mathematics. I work carefully with students to bring out clarity and richness of expression in their writing. Essays are essentially portraits of your character and logical flow, which is often where students are lost, is crucial towards creating a compelling voice. Mathematics is similar; it...

My approach to tutoring is simple: learning does not come easily if it cannot be made digestible. In this light, I employ a range...

...broadly while in university, with coursework in mathematics, cultural studies, economics, and business. The subjects I tutor are Japanese and different levels of mathematicsfields that I particularly loveas well as standardized test preparation (SAT, SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT). I have found that studying becomes more enjoyable and effective when content is connected with examples of application. Finding funny, memorable ways to apply course content is my favorite way to internalize the material. I view learning...

...past teaching experience that no two students think exactly alike, I facilitate learning by developing methods that cater to a student's personal learning style. I aim to make the learning experience feel less like a chore and more like an opportunity for self-improvement. Outside of tutoring, I indulge my addiction to crossword puzzles and enjoy foreign language studies and practicing guitar in my spare time. I believe that self-improvement, whether personal or professional, is always...

In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new languages, and being outdoors.

With 4th grade students and with college-age students, with students in America and with students in Japan, I have helped new ideas and information take root and blossom to the satisfaction of student and tutor alike.
