As an experienced professional with over twenty years of tutoring expertise, I specialize in guiding students through standardized test preparation, particularly the ACT, with a focus that spans in-person and online platforms. My extensive background includes not only tutoring individuals but also facilitating learning in both large and small group settings. Beyond standardized testing, I offer comprehensive academic support across a wide spectrum of subjects, ranging from preschool to college-level courses. I am particularly passionate about assisting students with learning difficulties, employing tailored strategies to foster their success. Through personalized lesson plans, innovative teaching methods, and a commitment to tracking student progress, I aim to empower each student to reach their full potential academically.My students' scores increase, on average, 2-4 points in all subjects of the ACT, and/or 50-150 points in all subjects of the SAT.

I love working with students and have over 15 years of tutoring experience. I graduated withmy Doctorate in Educational Leadership from St. Thomas University in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My teaching approach is individualized to each student but always includes positive motivational techniques. I truly love tutoring and would like to discuss if I would be a good fit for your needs. I hope to hear from you soon!

Tailored writing instruction

Rachel was great with our 12 year old son. He needed extra help with his handwriting and with Rachel, we started to see improvement right away. Our son seemed to enjoy the sessions with her. We would highly recommend Rachel for any tutoring needs!

ANTHONY, 4 lessons with Rachel

My son enjoyed the lesson!

My 15 year old son really enjoyed his first lesson and excited to continue, so that speaks highly! Rachel’s technique seems to resonate with him and he’s been practicing. We will continue on and see how he progresses.

Katharine, 3 lessons with Rachel

Works very well with our son; he's picking up her direction quickly.

We have noted a marked improvement in our son's penmanship. To anyone who would say it's not ideal to tutor handwriting online, I'll tell you that you're not being tutored by Rachel.

Lonnie, 14 lessons with Rachel

Excellent choice for any age student...

As a non-traditional adult college student, I was having challenges with a course in public speaking and Rachel's experience is of great help. Based upon my interactions, I would assume she is an excellent resource regardless of the grade level.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor!

Rachel does a great job of taking time to really walk through all aspects of the ACT subjects and testing. Rachel does this with patience and understanding, building testing skills that will be beneficial for years to come.

Corey, 7 lessons with Rachel

Motivational and effective

Rachel helped my daughter boost her confidence after just one session of ACT prep. She made her feel smart but helped fill in the gaps and provided strategies at the same time. We will be continuing with the ACT prep with Rachel for the full 6 sessions. So worth it!
