Hello! My name is Rachel, and I hold a Master of Fine Arts degree in Visual Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching a diverse range of students at the college level, focusing on analog and digital photography as well as various Adobe Creative Suite programs, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, and After Effects. My teaching background also includes working with traditional and adult learners, allowing me to tailor my lessons to fit each individual’s unique goals and learning style.

I strive to create a hands-on and engaging learning environment where students can explore creative techniques while mastering technical skills. Whether you’re an adult learner looking to develop new professional skills, a student needing support in your coursework, or a beginner eager to explore photography or digital design, I’m here to help.

When tutoring, I prioritize understanding each student’s goals and developing a personalized plan to achieve them. I believe in providing clear, constructive feedback that fosters growth, creativity, and confidence. My goal is to empower you with the skills you need to take your creative projects or academic goals to the next level. Whether you are just starting or refining your skills, I look forward to supporting you on your creative journey.

Let’s work together to unlock your potential and bring your creative vision to life!

Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop

Rachel was responsive and great to work with. She had a lot of patience with me even though I was new to these programs. I left the session feeling more confident and also having material I could review for practice. I highly recommend her tutoring services!
