About Rachel
I work well with students with ADHD or similar attention/hyperactivity issues, as I myself have ADHD and understand when a subject can get dull. I'm also very used to working with students who have anxiety around their mathematical abilities, and I know that overcoming this stress can often be the biggest hurdle. I also have a strong academic background, and years of tutoring and teaching experience (see Questions below for qualifications).
I like being able to help students struggling with complex topics. I like being able to show them they are capable of working through the problems, even when they think understanding is out of reach for them. My greatest accomplishment as a tutor is when one of my students who insisted he "wasn't a math person" became a tutor himself.

Most of my formal tutoring has been with undergraduate college students. As a mentor, I've helped middle school aged students with their classwork. I've also been involved in elementary/middle school aged demonstrations/activities, such as an interactive museum activity showing algae behavior, and a field trip program where middle schoolers learned some fun lessons on structural engineering.

Details
I previously worked for a tutoring company, or as a teaching assistant at universities, so pricing is highly negotiable and dependent on what type of help the student needs. Email me at (concealed information) to discuss, or text me at (concealed information)
(Coronavirus)
With social distancing being recommended, I'm available to teach/tutor remotely. I've helped students via email and video call before, and I have a tablet/stylus to aid with the writing/doodling often involved in helped a student out with a particular question.
