Rachael

Certified Tutor

Helping students grow academically and personally has always been a passion of mine. There's something gratifying about watching someone's confidence build as they begin to understand a subject that once felt truly out of reach. I love being a part of that "lightbulb moment."
I'm currently a fourth-year medical student, and before that, I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Along the way, I developed a strong foundation in math and science. I've had the opportunity to tutor various subjects, including algebra, geometry, and biology. While I enjoy many topics, math holds a special place in my heart. It is incredibly satisfying to break down complex problems into simple, clear steps and help students see patterns and logic where they once saw confusion.
I've worked with students of all ages, from elementary schoolers learning multiplication for the first time to college students in math courses. I've learned that every student is different, so I always aim to tailor my approach to each individual. Whether using real-life examples to make abstract ideas click or adjusting the pace to match a student's comfort level, I focus on creating a supportive and engaging environment.
Outside academics, I love reading, volunteering, and diving into community outreach projects. I also enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures, which helps me connect with students from all walks of life.
Tutoring isn't just about getting the correct answer; it's about building the confidence and skills that will last far beyond the classroom. I'm excited to bring my energy, patience, and enthusiasm to each session and help students reach their full potential.
