I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

Welcome! My name is Rachel Sanderson-Graff and I am a high school History, English as a New Language (ENL), and AP Psychology teacher in New York City. I received my Master's in Secondary Social Studies and ENL Education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, one of the top education programs in the country. Before entering education over 6 years ago, I previously worked in marketing and also spent time working as a private English tutor for both Spanish- and French-speaking families and I volunteered as a literacy tutor at elementary schools.

My goal as a teacher and a tutor is to ensure I create an experience that best fits each student's needs and interests. Every person is different, therefore, the way they learn must be different as well. I tailor the education experience to every student I work with in order to best support their academic growth as well as their social-emotional growth. After having worked with a student, I hope I've not only helped them meet the content and skill objectives, but I hope I've instilled a deeper love of learning in them as well.

As your potential tutor, I will create an experience that works for you so you meet your goals. I look forward to working with you!
