With a BS in Chemical Engineering (U of Maryland), an MBA (U of Delaware), successful experience in business, and a continuing teaching and tutoring career at both the high school and college level, I bring a varied and deep background to support a student. Currently, I am a Professor at two colleges, teaching Marketing, Management, Leadership, Communications to young adults, and mentoring MBA thesis candidates. I tutor technical high school subjects like Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, as well as Writing and English.My tutoring philosophy is simple: work my way out of a job as quickly as possible. Give the student study skills, tools and confidence to get to their desired level of competence on their own. I don't give answers; we find them together. I try to add realism and practicality to the sometimes dry, theoretical learning experience. There is nothing more satisfying than to see a student's success and progress.I love music and sing in three groups that entertain at hospitals and nursing homes. I enjoy tennis and golf in sunny Arizona, and poker and watching sports with friends when the sun goes down. My bride of 46 years and I travel extensively for pleasure and to visit our two children and three grandchildren.

With a degree in English and in Psychology, I strive to teach and tutor my student with patience, guidance for improvement, and differentiation for meeting each student's personal educational goals. My experiences in the public school setting have been in the middle to high school levels. However, I have substituted at all grade levels because I was in high demand by school administrators. I currently am a graduate student at Point Park University. I will graduate with a M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction with Reading Specialist certification. I earned my undergraduate degrees from Middle Tennessee State University. I love teaching and watching my students grow and learn.

Hello! My name is Jaime Rakowski, or "Mrs. Rakowski" to my students. I am a graduate of Central Michigan University as well as Kennesaw State University. In the 8 years after I graduated from CMU with my Bachelors of Applied Arts in Child Development, I worked in many daycares as my husband and I moved for his job. During this time, I worked with infants-school aged children. After settling down here in Georgia, I went back to KSU to earn a second bachelors degree. This time it was a Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Education. After graduating from KSU, I was hired to teach 3rd grade at the elementary school that I student taught for.

I also love math and social studies. Above all, I love to learn and I love to foster and build that love of learning within each of the students that I work with.

Learning a language is more than being able to communicate, it is the opportunity to have a second, third, or fourth brain, that allows you to process information and life at a superior level. Spanish and French are the languages I learned and have spoken at home since I was little. I lived in South America and went to a French Lyceum. Spanish for me is the language of the Spirit and having fun, French is the language of love, analytics, and a free mindset. I do have a Bachelor's in Corporate Communications and a Master's in Management. I have worked in Marketing and Business Development and on the side have been in the position of teaching and tutoring young adults.
