Award-Winning Japanese Tutors in Memphis, TN

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.

...you! I recently graduated with my degree in Mechanical Engineering and have been actively involved in STEM tutoring programs throughout my time in college.

Everybody learns, and everybody learns differently. My aim as a tutor is to understand how my...

...to memorize information. They were not taught how to think critically or to ask questions. They were taught to be obedient and to trust what their elders told them. I was shocked because this was against everything that I believed an education should be. I want my students to think outside the box and to think critically. I do not want my students to believe everything I tell them just because I am the teacher....
