Rachel

Certified Tutor

I am graduate of Macalester College. I received a dual degree in English and Anthropology, cum laude. While in college, I was a Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow at my institution. I was also a Public Policy and International Affairs Undergraduate Fellow at Princeton University.

I was an ESL volunteer tutor as well as a First Year Course teaching assistant. I have worked as an educator in multiple environments, ranging from a 7th grade classroom to the deck of an eighty foot sailboat!

As a published writer and public speaker, my specialties are with literature, essay writing-- anything to do with language and storytelling.

I have given lectures and performances at places like Yale, Harvard, UC San Diego, and Carleton College, to name a few.

This year, I was awarded a Fulbright teaching grant to teach English in South Korea.

My approach to education: Patience. Compassion. And humor! I promise I'll find a way for you to connect with the subject material you're learning.

My hobbies include: making music (I was in a band that opened for Rae Sremmurd, once), hiking, and looking at pictures of dogs on the internet.
