Hire Isle of Palms Tutors

My name is Rachael. I taught upper elementary/middle school art for three years at a Montessori school in Charleston, SC. I had an opportunity to develop my own curriculum that was focused on visual literacy as a way to support academic and social maturity. Students were self-directed with their interests and were expected to support and articulate their own thoughts and ideas. My curriculum incorporated other subjects and topics that students were working on in other classes. All students were expected to write in art class so part of the time, I worked on their writing skills. I also spent one year private tutoring a high school student who needed help to improve his grades. I graduated a year ago with my Masters in Fine Arts in Photography. My hopes are that my degree will allow me to become a better artist and to someday teach private school. I love the challenges of teaching and I make sure that all students receive a high quality education that is fitted for their needs.

I have 2 years of experience in tutoring high school level biology and chemistry. I'm also comfortable with tutoring in geometry, algebra, and physics. I'm going to grad school at USC in Columbia, SC so I will have classes in the mornings M-F but other than that my schedule is very flexible.

I'm currently working as a PCT at the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital so I spend a lot of time taking care of children of all ages, from newborn to age 18. I am BLS certified. I also have many years of past babysitting experience. I enjoy being active, playing outside, doing arts and crafts, watching movies, playing games, and lots more! I'm also happy to help with any homework, meal prep, cleaning, and caring for pets as needed.

I began tutoring in high school at a Kumon Math & Reading center. At this job, I helped children from elementary to high school with their math and reading skills. During my years in college, my tutoring was more informal. I excelled in calculus and psychology and would tutor individuals in my classes. I was the top student in my calculus classes and received B+ and above in my psychology classes.

I attended Clemson University in December 2017 and have since moved to Charleston to work in marketing for Blackbaud. I have been babysitting for a long time, but have nannied for one family for about 6-7 years while through out high school and college. I work full time Monday- Friday from 8:30am-5:00 p.m. so I am available on week nights and on the weekends. I would be happy to help make dinner, clean up around the house, help with homework, crafts, and other fun activities. I look forward at the opportunity to get to know your family better!

I've been called a mama bear at heart, energetic, nurturing & compassionate, unique & fun babysitter. I've been caring for children of all ages (0-16 years) for over 15 years in a myriad of family environments. I have just moved to Charleston from the West Coat. I grew up in Maryland and lived all over the East Coast including NYC for 8 years. For the last year, I worked full-time for 8 different families on a part-time schedule in Maryland & LA.

In addition to day and evening (bedtime) routines, days included creative and educational play time, arts & crafts, indoor & outdoor activities & sports, organizing and scheduling play dates and creating a safe and nurturing environment for the children. I have vast experience with babies and toddlers - introducing new foods, breast and bottle feeding, sleep training and methods, potty training and newborn care.
