...tutoring because I love sharing knowledge with others, especially in one-on-one 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.

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.

I look forward to helping...

Awareness of math as an invaluable tool came to me later, after I’d developed a strong interest in physics and astronomy, fields that rely on math heavily. I’ve also taken the time to nurture my passion for the Japanese language and culture. During college, I spent two semesters in Kyoto, Japan, where I participated in...

I use both fun and easy techniques to teach complex languages such as Japanese or English.

...strive to make sure that every student that I work with leaves with an understanding of the content that I teach them. I do not only have my students strive for excellence, but I want them to find what they love about learning overall. Especially, in a subject they are struggling with.
