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 am a fun-loving person. I enjoy teaching students. As a teacher, I treasure the moment when I see a student smile, because they grasped a skill or a concept. I am currently an elementary teacher. Most importantly, I want all my students to succeed in all their educational goals. Therefore, it is my desire to always be an effective teacher by addressing all of my students' educational needs.... Learning is universal. I believe that effective teaching allows one to connect to many by accepting and acknowledging different learning styles. As a teacher, my goal is to foster the will to learn. So, I believe in teaching that makes everyone excited and desire the will to learn something new, and to share it with others. Most importantly, I believe as a teacher, one must teach others to learn, as well as learn from the ones that you teach.

...on the Cornell dining committee, and was the Director of Education for my sorority, Alpha Phi. I ran a day camp focused on outdoor education in the summer of 2011.

I believe that everyone can learn and that it is the educator's honor and responsibility to shape the path of learning for all students!... All students can learn. They work of the educator is determining the "how" that leads to the win!... An assessment of the student's needs.... By teaching him/her the tools, skills, and strategies needed to facilitate learning. With them in hand, the student will be able to work independently.... Incentives! We would set goals and milestones and the student would work to beat his or her own personal best.
