"Hi! My name is Rachael. I recently graduated summa cum laude from the University of Miami with a B.S. in Neuroscience and minor in Chemistry. For several months I have been serving as a math and science tutor for middle school through college students. I also have four years of experience serving as a middle school math teaching assistant (TA) for Aim High St. Louis and three years of experience a computer science TA for a 200-level college class at the University of Miami.
From these experiences, I have learned that I love connecting with my students and motivating them to strive for success. I have strong communication skills, a positive, personable demeanor, and an ability to teach by breaking down ideas or using real-life examples. I am good at problem-solving and am flexible, both with my schedule and with catering to different learning styles. My academic strengths are in math and science, especially biology, psychology, and organic chemistry." less...
