"Hello! My name is Rachael, and I hold an ACS certified Bachelors of Science degree in chemistry. This has equipped me with both a deep understanding of STEM concepts and a passion for teaching. Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of working with students of all ages, from elementary schoolers just beginning to explore math and science, to high school and college students tackling advanced subjects. I've worked with students one on one, in small groups, and have instructed laboratory practical sections at the college level. I understand that each student has unique learning needs, and I strive to create a comfortable environment where students can feel confident in their abilities and inspired to reach their full potential.

In my tutoring approach, I focus on fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as I believe these are essential not only for academic success but also for personal growth. I structure lessons by first introducing a topic in a way that sparks curiosity, followed by clear and concise instruction. I always make sure to leave plenty of time for hands-on practice, helping students build confidence and mastery. My experience includes tutoring subjects such as algebra, chemistry, biology, and physics, and I have a particular focus on preparing high school students for exams and helping college students navigate challenging STEM coursework. I have also worked with adult learners returning to education, tailoring my approach to help them succeed at their own pace.

I am deeply committed to providing personalized support, and I welcome any feedback or resources that students or parents may have. My goal is to make every tutoring session a positive, productive experience, and I am always available for questions or additional help. Please feel free to reach out to schedule a lesson or discuss how I can best support your learning goals." less...
