...grade levels from early elementary up to graduating bachelor's. My primary focus is physics and mathematics, but I have plenty of experience and great confidence with all subject areas from elementary to early college.

I believe...

I very much enjoy helping students build confidence in themselves as they achieve their learning goals. I love learning new things that I can then teach others. I like to build up a variety of subjects that I enjoy teaching.

...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. While I'm not studying (or helping my friends study), I love to play music (piano, flute, guitar), take a walk through the forest preserve, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with friends, etc. I look forward to...

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.

...and materials as well as find value in the learning process itself. It is my goal to create student-centered classes that give all students multiple opportunities to develop their creativity and communication, leadership, and management skills that will be necessary throughout their lives. As an educator who spent 10 years teaching English as a foreign language in Japan and Macedonia, it is my goal to teach English as a means to have students think more...

...at MIT, and I tutored in math and science in high school. I scored a perfect score on the SAT Math section twice, and have taken 11 AP tests with an average score of 4.7. I believe the best way to learn math is through challenging problems, and gaining confidence in yourself when you find that you understand those problems. I am passionate about learning, and I hope I can share that passion with you!

...other to learn: critical thought and understanding. The two go hand in hand. Only by understanding something can we engage it critically, and only by thinking critically can we truly understand something. My goal as an instructor is help my students gain these skills. I don't want to just bark, "This is correct. End of discussion." I want my students to know why they need to do things in certain ways. However, no one person...

...my studies. Having learned through past teaching experience that no two students think exactly alike, I facilitate learning by developing methods that cater to a student's personal learning style. I aim to make the learning experience feel less like a chore and more like an opportunity for self-improvement. Outside of tutoring, I indulge my addiction to crossword puzzles and enjoy foreign language studies and practicing guitar in my spare time. I believe that self-improvement, whether...

Tutoring is a collaborative process whereby tutor and student work towards a common goal of academic...
