Raquel
Certified Tutor
As a recent graduate from Harvard University with a Bachelor's in Integrative Biology and a minor in Earth and Planetary Sciences, I am passionate about fostering a deep understanding of the natural world in my students. My experience includes serving as head teacher at the Waquoit Bay Summer Science School, where I designed engaging lesson plans for students from grades 2 to 10. I have also been a college calculus course assistant. I believe in a student-centered approach, where I adapt my teaching methods to meet individual needs and ensure that each student feels heard and supported. With a strong foundation in environmental science and a love for writing, I aim to inspire students not only to grasp complex scientific concepts but also to communicate their ideas effectively. By employing interactive and gamified learning strategies, I aim to foster a dynamic learning environment that promotes curiosity and academic growth.

Outside of academics, I am a lover of exercise in all forms! I am an ice hockey, field hockey, and lacrosse player, and I have run a marathon, completed an Ironman 70.3 triathlon, and coached exercise classes. I adore spending time outdoors, specifically playing spikeball and swimming, and scuba diving in the ocean. At home, I am constantly cooking and baking new recipes. My favorite way to spend chill time is either taking a nap or doing a crossword! As a very social and extroverted girl, I get the most enjoyment out of my hobbies when I am sharing them with friends and family.
