During my time in Japan, I continued to study Japanese myself, passing the highest level...

...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 learns the same way as anyone else. We can make general...

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.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking,...

I look forward to helping students...
