About Rachel

The heart of my teaching practice comes from empowering students to reach their full potential. With six years of experience supporting elementary and middle school learners in Math, English, and study skills, as well as years as a fourth grade teacher, I focus on building confidence rather than rote memorization. I meet every student where they are, using their unique interests to make challenging concepts feel accessible and engaging. I prioritize open communication with families to ensure we are always aligned on progress and goals. If a student feels overwhelmed, I incorporate mindful breathing and movement to reset, ensuring they feel supported and ready to learn. My greatest reward is watching a student embrace curiosity and take new academic risks. I am comfortable working in your home, online, or at a local library. I look forward to celebrating your child's wins and helping them discover the joy of learning.
